@steffenbp11 thx for the advice. I'm fine with returns so i think im still going to give SS a shot. I own a Napoli (sized down) and its a decent fit but it's a bit long on me still (I'm 5'9). I thought maybe the Lazios or Havanas might be better for my bro because they might be shorter cuts. Have you found this?


Havana is definately on the short side. Lazio isn't long, but since I haven't worn a Napoli, I can´t really compare. I'm 6'0, and the lazio length is pretty spot on for me..

Thanks! Funny you mention that, I have my eye on this jpress tie which I hear is a more traditional width
That's a nice tie, don't get me wrong, but a knit tie is still almost definitely going to be overly narrow for those giant lapels - assuming you're trying to pull off a closer tie/lapel match. I'd also call a knit tie with a peak lapel jacket pretty incongruous, which doesn't necessarily mean you can't wear it, but it's something to think about. I do like the tie, though, and have and wear similar ones.

I had been waiting forever for them to put out a simple, basic, navy sportcoat. They finally do... and they're already out of my size. Bugger all :eek:.

Could someone suggest what size/fit to go with for me? I was thinking the Napoli in plain grey because of the shoulders and cut

5'9 160lbs with an athletic frame. I normally wear a 38R in suits

A 38R would probably be ideal for you. I'm 5'11" & 185lbs and I wear a 40R in the Napoli.

I'm 5'10 150 and I am a 36r in the Lazio. 36r in the London and Napoli are too big on me... so I guess you are in the middle of me and the poster above... sorry for offering no help at all =)

Thanks for the help. So been reading more and the Napoli is a very conservative fit? I am definitely looking for something slim with notch lapels and little if any shoulder padding. What cut would be better for me?

I guess 5'9" with a 38R of RL or BB might be a litte too long at back length and sleeve length.

I believe the napoli (or roma) is their most conservative fit. Sounds like La Spalla, Sienna and Lazio might be good for you
