Buying a CT suit?

[Preparatory]

Thinking about buying a Charles Tyrwhitt suit:

But I have a few questions. Exactly how slim is the fit? More towards "american slim" or "european slim"? Quality?

Also I use to have a problem with my arms. They are kind of big and usually when everything else fits okay the arms causes trouble.

Thanks.

Also how does the quality stand comparing to brands like BB, RL and so on.

I bought one suit from there winter line.

quality is ok, you get all the bells and whistles for a cheap price. i.e functional button holes

the fit - i wear a 42L Canali, Zegna, Brioni, and I wear a 40L in CT.

I found the arms/shoulders big in comparison to my other suits.

Overall not bad for the money.

Thanks for the answer. When you talk about the fit, are you referring to the slim fit? Black label fit? I usually wear W31 in european fit in trousers but the only options here: 30 and 32?

I don't remember.

It was the charcoal flannel suit they had this winter with a DB waistcoat.

I believe it was a classic fit.

The pants were full in the waist-seat, however relatively slim in the leg.
