Suit for skinny guy
The people doing the hiring won't be checking labels. I promise he won't be strip searched either. You have to look at the suit. How does it look on him? If he doesn't look like a clown or Jed Clampett he'll get a pass. So safe colour? darker better then light Safe fit? Not too short. Not too...- Nicola

Where in the world to buy my suits - Italy or Australia?

Where in the world to buy my suits - Italy or Australia?
165 is the short range even in Italy. Size depends on chest and waist size. Weight doesn't really matter much. $2K AUD is what less then €1500? So three suits with an average of €500.

Who compliments you more--men or women?
A middle aged cop notices your shoes. :embar: Is he wondering if you stole the shoes? If you're selling drugs to pay for the shoes? Is he offering you his billy club? Did he stroke your arm? Feel the fabric ? To answer your question women. But all the clothes do is change the type of...- Nicola

Suits for shorter guys?
Zegna makes different lines. But I'm going to guess you're narrow shouldered. Zegna will likely be too broad in the shoulder for you in the main lines.- Nicola

Suits for shorter guys?
Sounds like you're a fairly normal 36 or EU 46. I can't speak of Sweden but here in Italy with those measurements you wouldn't have much problem. Unless you're measuring really badly- Nicola

Suits for shorter guys?
You aren't really short. More average. Maybe short in Swedish terms but fairly average in Italian. No idea what your frame is like. Different people carry weight in different methods. What sizes do you wear? In other words how big is your chest and waist.- Nicola
