just bought a new suit, stupid choice?

[yndmrk91]

I have a blue pinstriped suit, its a wool/cashmere blend. I just bought one very similar, a size up because I got a killer deal on it but its 100% wool. Both fully canvassed from Paul Stuart. Was this an impulsive buy?

 

[JHBU2011]

Depends on how it fits. If it fits well and you got a good deal, why not?

and how good of a deal? Paul Stuart retail for around 1500 right?

Give us more information. I cannot give my opinion if I don't have more info/pictures.

Why would you buy a suit that is a size up from what you wear? Take it back unless it is the correct fit.

I feel that a 39 would be better, I'm 20 and I workout often. The 38 is a little snug.

Then it is a replacement for the smaller suit.

It is a good looking suit and it sounds like you got a good buy. So, sell the small one on B&S.

Any picture of you actually wearing the suit? So we can see if sizing up was a good fit.

Sorry for the poor light, ghetto background, and low resolution.

Pinstripe SZ 38. Issues: the chest is ~41 which is the same size of my chest. There is a lot of rolling? on the back.

Each suit is the same make; Stuart II

The 38 is definitely too small for you in the shoulders and it's pulling across the back.

39 fits better but still looks a tad small for some reason.

 

[Superfluous]

Something really strange going on in the shoulders.

 

[vinveritas]

The pictures show that you're no longer a size 38 and maybe going into 40.
