Just received a Benjamin suit for my brother, who is the same size, so I tried it on and am really impressed. Shoulders are stronger than I'd like for myself but it is an incredible value at $525.

Nice - glad to hear it!

If you like more of a natural shoulder you'll like the new Napoli model coming out in a few months...

Just received my first suit from ehaberdasher.com - a 41L/42L Classico in medium grey.  The trousers fit great, as does the jacket - with the exception that it is a bit tight across the chest.  The shoulder width is fine, the collar is fine, the vent/seat is OK, so I am guessing that it is cut too narrowly for my back/chest.  Before I send this back with tremendous disappointment, can anyone let me know if it's possible to adequately let out the sides in this particular jacket?  I'm guessing i need up to 1" additional "room".

 

I plan on going to a local tailor in Portland, OR, but having never used them before, I'm afraid they'll say "Sure, we can fix that", and permanently screw it up.  So I'd rather get feedback and opinions from the objective ones here.  Maybe even Ben(?).

 

TIA.

I believe I just PM'ed you back... I generally don't recommend messing much with the chest, but the sides in the midsection can certainly be let out...

If anyone needs flannel pents the Marco Pescarolos are beautiful. They are really slim and I have to send one pair back but the medium greys are going straight to the tailor!

 

Ben, is there any chance that you will get more Riviera jackets in 38s?

What is the fit on the tuxedos like? I see it is called the "Scala" model? How does this compare to the other models?

I also see that it mentions soft tailoring--are the shoulders on it less structured than the other models?

Edit: Side note--looks like the measurements for the 39/40R tux are wrong--it says measurements for coat length from bottom of collar are 25.75". No way that is correct.

Thanks for pointing that out - I'll have that fixed asap...

Fit is pretty much like the Classico model - same with the shoulders - pretty much the same.

Hope that helps!
