are you sure you are not a 36R? shoulders seem a little wide and too much excess fabric under pits. OTOH a 38 in the slimmer washington line may fit better

I think maybe the fit doesn't fit me. I'm 5'8" so I think a R might be too long on me, and I'm not sure the sleeves could be lengthen enough since i have longer than normal arms. Maybe the Milano/Fitzgerald suit by Brooks Brothers would fit better.
Maybe. Maybe the Sienna cut is not the best for you, too. But I still think you have just got the wrong size.The european size 48 (which is 38R in the US) is generally made for men from 5'7" to 5'9".
What height are 38L's usually designed for? Or say the european sizes 96 and 98? It's a pitty they don't have the length of the jackets measurement on the site....
Thinking of pulling the trigger on a suit and a couple of jackets soon. Just a quick question. I'm 6 ft 1 5/8 in (187cm) normal to athletic build. Chest 38,2 in, my jackets are usually around 17,7 in across back (shoulder seam to shoulder seam) and ca 25,6 in arms (shoulder seam to cuff). I'm usually a size 38R but from the measurements on the site it looks like the all jackets may run short in the sleeves (and maybe body as well?). I'm leaning towards the napoli or washington suit and washington/copenhagen/italia jackets. Should I go with a 38R, 38L, 40R? I know I can just order several sizes but don't feel like (due to money and return packaging) ordering three different sizes in three to four different cuts, hence the question. Would be great to get answer from someone around my length/build. Regards
