New suits - jackets too short?

While it's true that having the shoulders fit is most important, it is best to get as many parameters fitting as closely as possible.
True. I emphasised those issues because SuSu is notorious for their short jackets and high button stances.

I think €430-450, which is what I usually end up paying, is worth it. Any more than that, no. I personally avoid their expensive lines for this reason. €700 plus €150 in alterations? No thank you. At that point I'd be a fool to not do MTM.

Cheers again for reading and all the replies. I will post up pics of the Napoli's as soon as I get them (tomorrow hopefully).

I mean the pics of the grey suit jacket doesn't look too bad in length. But it's also clear that the length isn't the easiest problem to spot. It's that it's just too tight in the chest and waist.

Other than that, the other guys probably won't notice too much really, I'm sure you won't stand out as dapper and you won't stand out as bad looking.

In an attempt to understand, I must revive this old thread.
One, to ask if the OP has stopped freaking out after realizing no one cared in his office
And two, to ask why people say his suit is way to short when it goes three quarters past the crotch, even more on some pictures?
Honest question here, there are so many sizing possibilities (and body lengths...)

Care to report back on your sartorial journey? Did you learn valuable lessons or you have your suits to charity and abandoned SuSu?
