Australia - Size 36R suits on the slim side?

[ruzzi]

Hey guys, anyone know a good source of size 36R suits on the slim side in Australia, preferably Brisbane. I'm thinking along the lines of ralph lauren black label, z zegna etc.

I've tried David Jones for Z Zegna but it only looks like they stock 38R and up.

Herringbone had a few 36s but not in the osaka model.

Hugo Boss is just a rip off.

I tried Country Road 36 and the jackets feels like a 38.

Not sure about the quality of Cloakroom suits yet.

Does anyone else have any other ideas?

Does Xile stock Z Zegna?

I've got a RLBL suit in 36R available in B&S. Check out the link in my signature.

Xile do stock Z Zegna but they are rather a rip-off at their usual prices and most of the staff are obnoxiously obsequious and pushy.

Herringbone should be getting fresh stock in soon, I would hope, given that they are now firmly back in business. They have already received new season shirts in the store and so I expect that suits should be following shortly (fingers crossed!).

Alternatively, you could always take a walk up to Joe Richards near the top of Elizabeth St (opposite the back of the Myer Centre). I'm not sure what sizes they have in stock there, but they have some discounted Borrelli that, whilst still horrendously expensive, has a lovely cut and knocks the stuffing out of anything stocked by Xile or by Mitchell Ogilvie in terms of quality and style.

I've got a Lanvin suit available. You could have a look at my signature.

If you are interested, you could check the measurements againts your best fit jacket and trousers.
I am wearing 36S and locating in Australia as well.

Alternatively, you could try to visit Oxford and try their luxury line. I believe it is half canvassed. Last time I checked it through.
Herringbone is a great choice if you could find one in your size.

Have you tried The Cloakroom?

Their house style is quite structured though

I have a Zegna Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche suit for sale in a size that may fit you, see my sig.

I'll chime in and mention that we have 3 36R's:

The Lucente model is even slimmer than the Maestro model, so the gunmetal gray may be of particular interest. The 2 Maestro's come as part of the suit separates program, so trousers are purchased separately in your choice of size.
