They have a lovely blue cashmere overcoat that would be killer - my only concern is the sleeve length. I'm a 24 (38S) and they only do 48 (38R). Choices choices.

The buttonholes aren't functional on the overcoats, are they? Shouldn't be hard to alter if that's the case.

That'd be a first for SuitSupply if that's the case, and the overcoats I did try on years ago in store definitely had functioning cuffs.

Oh bloody hell. Functioning buttonholes, on an overcoat? Why on earth?

Though, it's not so bad if an overcoat are slightly too long. I'd want my wrist covered, further than that it might look a bit odd. This is probably the ideal length:

I own a Merano overcoat from last year´s Collection. I am pretty sure the cuffs are sewed shut...

Seems to be fairly functional to me?

^ I was right after all then

It's a coat without buttons on the cuff, so we are also right.

Hi all,

I posted a few pages back about a suit I had made at the Amsterdam location, and the general consensus was that it was too small.

I went in and voiced my concern and had some adjustments made, but I'm not entirely sure about the final product. Could I get some insight? I'm not sure if any enhancements or remakes would benefit the suit, could just be my body type?

I just got this from SuSu Customer service :

"Thank you for contacting Suitsupply.

We would suggest sizing up to accommodate suits and sweaters under
the coat."

So I guess that clears it all up!

I ordered a size 50 Napoli and a size 52 coat. Hope this can be helpful to all the people that wanna buy a SuSu coat :slayer:
