I'm a skinny Asian and it's pretty much impossible for me to find slim fitting suit in the States. My size would be about 34S.

Is the seller in asia? I too am looking for suits just like this. See how it is. They only make them 37 and smaller, weak sauce!

I like the inexpensive skinny ties too.

yeah they're in Asia. The material is "Premium quality fabric, 70% wool + 20% viscose + 10% microfiber." Is that good or bad compared to 100% wool?

At that price it won't be the best fabric. The viscose is rayon, which makes the suit kind of shiny. The microfiber I have no clue. For me, fit is the most important, and at that price and for this styling, I would not worry about fabric all that much unless it is super appalling.

Based off of those pictures I'd say the peak lapels look better, but the one for the notch lapels is so horribly pinned in the back/waist area that it makes it look pretty awful.
