Hello all,

Need some help. I enjoy wearing slim suits..but I am online at Macys trying to determine if a particular slim fit suit will fit me well is the challenge. Of course this particular suit is not in stores:

http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=579865&CategoryID=17788&LinkType=PDPZ1

My question is about getting the right size for slim suits. I am 5'7 weighing 148lbs, no athletic build. In a classic suit, I wear a 38R. But lately I've been interested in the slim suits. Early this summer I got a 40S which fits perfectly (but could use just a hair of more arm room), and I only see one size on the website as a 40R which is one step up from the 40S I got. I am wondering if this slim suit would fit without it being too big on me. Is the 40S and 40R really a huge difference?

Any suggestions or thoughts on this? Thanks!

Caz

People would like to help, but your question is impossible to answer. You got to try on and take PICS at very least - it is an absolute bare minimum requirement.
