Hello,

just ordered my first suit from SuitSupply online store (bought one some time ago from Roermond). Very happy with the process, the suit reached the office in the promised two business days. The fit was what I expected, the pants need some tailoring.

The suit is a navy 46 Napoli and I am 172cm/68kg with some muscles from the gym.

i hope you don't skip leg days ...
because the napoli fits great up top but i can't wear the pants because of they are too tight for my legs
not sure if they can be let out enough to fit my quads

Yeah I don't bother with Napoli at all for this reason. Stick to Lazio/Sienna/La Spalla for conservative business dress and Havana/Washington for casual.

I don't and you are right. They are tight but IMHO not too tight, the problem is more the slight belly that I am always fighting. The size of the pants between the navy and my cotton tan suit are BTW different, the cotton ones only had to be shortened whereas these also have to be let out.

When they are back from the tailor I'll post a pic and kindly ask for your advice.

Are you saying that Lazio, Sienna and La Spalla are looser on the pants, kind of had the opposite impression. Would have gone for the Sienna but they rarely have that in my suggested size, 23.

Correct, everything but the Napoli has pants with a large enough thigh allowance to compensate those who have any form of quads.

Outlet is open, but nothing is available but a single pair of pants and a bag...

Ha I saw that too. Must be April 1st at Suitsupply Outlet.

It's pretty weird. It shows a bunch of stuff listed at discounted prices at the bottom of the screen, but when I click on an item, there's nothing there. It's awfully odd for them to reopen the outlet just to sell a pair of green cords and a bag. Seems like they could have just listed two items on the regular site at discounted prices.

I guess "thigh size" is subjective. The midpoint between knee and waist measures around 21 inches and I find it fine.

@CousinDonuts Yeah, I'd never purchase from TF lol.

Same experience here. Also, my Napoli pants are drop 7 as opposed to my La Spalla and Lazio. The waist on the Napoli was just right (if not slightly snug) for me. On the La Spalla and Lazio, I had to have the waist taken in 1 inch or so.
