Had an hour free this afternoon, so I headed downtown to the BB store to check out the Fitzgerald suits. I am a 38S (29 waist) and they happened to have the size in both the Fitzgerald and the Regent, so I tried them on.
The Fitzgerald it definitely more fitted than the Regent. It fitted me really well around the shoulders and the armhole is definitely higher than any OTR US-made jacket that I have worn. The waist is still pretty loose - I could get the fitted look I wanted by pulling the buttonhole about 2.5-3 inches past the button - disappointing in that respect. The 2 for $999 deal is interesting but I might have to drop another $50 or so for significant waist suppression to make it look right.
