    The StyleForum Working Hierarchical Suit Quality List (SFWHSQL!)

    Hi Gyasih, I don't think anyone really answered your question, so please allow me to help. They produce a lot of sport coats for their own brands and others, such as Ledbury, along with a very successful MTM business that they have with many local retailers and stores like epauletNY. The...

    Barena Venezia 38 Dark Green Slanega Unstructured Sport Coat Blazer

    I'm cleaning my closet and here's a great piece from Barena Venezia. It's the Slanaga model in dark green, size 38, new with tags. I've got lots of stuff I still need to post, but some of it is already up on eBay. My ID there is uneek51, 100% positive feedback and I've been a member since...

    Stile Latino by Cesare Attolini, Size 36/46EU (could fit a 38 maybe), Military Green/Brown, New

    I'm doing my final closet cleaning, really trying to keep my closet down to 10 suits and 10 sport coats, and so I'm putting this great Stile Latino up for sale. It's 100% linen with unfinished sleeves with the basting stitches still in. I'll even send the original hanger with it. It's new, never...

    WAYWRN - Peacock Edition

    Hi MrTopCat, The pocket distance will only bother those looking for it. If the suit didn't have the extra ticket pocket, it would be less noticeable. Keep this in mind the next time around as the horizontal flap pockets accentuate this kind of alteration. Does the jacket still cover your...

    Hi MrTopCat, The traditional advice for the length of a suit coat is that with your arms straight down your sides you should be able to cup your hands while just grazing the very bottom of the coat. From the photo it looks like you could actually grab the bottom of your coat when you cup your...

    Ah, they need to fix that... maybe call a rep for the exact measurements? They need to kick their webmaster's butt. To have such an important function not work properly for so long is not acceptable.

    Hi Artyrau, Do you know your measurements? If you don't I suggest you get them done by your tailor and then look at the "size advisor" section on Suitsupply's website. They have exact measurements for the main points of the jacket and pants, such as shoulders, sleeve length, etc... If you...

    Why aren't you sure? If you're going for a slim fit, it looks fine. If you don't like the slight pull at the top button then you might want to either size up or get your tailor to let it out a little.

    Hi Clarinetplayer, Very nice. I don't think cuffs are controversial at all, been around for ages and they help the pants drape better if it's a heavier fabric. What size are your pant cuffs? I think I want to increase mine to around 2 inches. I think my alterations tailor only put a 1.5...

    Hi International, Peak lapels are normally considered an elegant and more formal option for a suit coat, but these days you see them all over. If you are more traditionally inclined then you might want to just keep it with the complete suit. If you are on the rakish side then feel free to do...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Hi Dolgovaa, Leather shoes should not be worn through the snow and rain without proper protection. If you must wear them out, then I suggest galoshes to go over your shoes before you leave the house. Another option is to wear weather appropriate boots and then change into your nice shoes at...

    Hi EE, I have the Washington and I love the suit, but I wouldn't recommend it as a first purchase or for job interviews. You want people to notice you, not your suit. A standard notch lapel suit in a solid navy or grey should be your first purchase as these suits have a lot of versatility...

    Thick as Thieves ONLINE

    Hi smoothmoose, There is no necessary relation between the armhole size and the fullness (baggy) of the sleeves. Many Neapolitan tailors cut a large sleeve head and then taper it as it move down the arm to create the slimming effect. The relation of the armhole to the sleeve is one of the...

    Hi udinis, Shoulder dimples (your wrinkle problem) are caused by issues with the size of your armhole. Something is making your armholes stretch/pull too much, which causes the dimple. It's a difficult operation to fix it, so you'll need a good tailor who knows how to take jackets apart and...

    Hi Jigg, Shoulders can be tricky, so it is always recommended to get a jacket that fits you there. This doesn't mean, however that nothing can be done. If the shoulders are too wide a skilled tailor can take them in for you, but at a price. An operation like this costs more than your typical...

    The StyleForum Working Hierarchical Suit Quality List (SFWHSQL!)

    I would have to second what dirnelli said about Boggi. They have a variety of places that make their sport coats and suits (including Isaia) and have nice sales from time to time. Their are expanding internationally and should be a more visible brand in the next few years. It's hard to put...

    @Reginald - what the others say is true, sorry if I gave the wrong impression by saying the suit is too big. It's only big in those spots I mentioned, like between your should blades in the back. The Boston fit is similar in measurements to the Washington fit. I have tried on both and you can...

     Hey there, The jacket is big on you, evidenced further by the vertical lines running down the back of your suit. If you don't want to size down, make sure to point this out to your tailor along with the sleeve issue. You might want a little more cuff showing, so have a look at that too. Pants...
