Heavily inspired by the beautiful Jort jacket, I have just ordered the blue Jort suit. Also ordered a double breasted merano coat and a blue flannel Washington. Not sure about the last one, but I am willing to give this cut a try :)

Do any of you gentlemen have the a couple of minutes to help me with the issue I mentioned on the previous page of this thread. I'm ordering two suits tomorrow and two shoulder measures from a suitsupply-jacket would mean the world to me right now :)

Could you provide measurements for your shoulders? (Shoulder to shoulder). I am of similar size and am about to order a 34 but I've not yet decided which line of suits to chose from yet.


My shoulders are ~17'' when I measured them

The shoulder measures on my Washington and Lazio are basically the same as listed on the website.

The Sienna is most likely a slimmer cut than your other suits, which is why the shoulders measure less.

Ok thanks! The reason why I wonder is that all other measurement, waist, chest, arm length and jacket length, even on the Sienna are significantly bigger than on my other jackets. The shoulders are however much narrower, about 4 cm! That confuses me! It would make more sense it all measurements were larger/smaller, but that's not the case.

The new jort jacket in Harris Tweed

Fully canvassed and half lined, which makes this a pleasure to wear.

The details are really good for a RTW jacket.

SS jacket and trouser, Belisario MTM shirt, and Drake’s tie.

Thanks. I was going back and forth on them. I had budgeted for two and somehow left with 3 and didn't purchase the one I came for (washington). Two of these are kind of staples and the third lazio was for fun. Now to clear some room in my closet somehow.

That's funny because I'm looking to add a 3rd SS suit to my collection. Perhaps a 3-peice Lazio flannel of some sorts.
Sounds like a plan.

Well it may be last minute, not sure exactly when. They'll be ready after 1/2. I may try to get down there 1/3 Friday evening. around 7:30/7:45, I have to drop off my wife in Oak Park at 7ish so It'll be close to their closing time by the time I get down there.
