First real suit

[bvbellomo]

The pants have a label saying size 38. So they made a mistake and didn't swap.

From one large chested guy to another - if you have a lot of difficulty finding a jacket that fits the chest, consider a double breasted suit. the lapels won't "break" in the same way a SB jacket will and it will look a bit cleaner in that respect at least, because they are closer together and wider. You're a tall boy so you can easily pull it off.

I still haven't sent it back. It isn't nearly as bad as my first impression, I like the style so much more than the Copley, and it is less than half the price. I am really on the fence, especially not knowing what some minor tailoring can/can't fix.

The pants go back no matter what. They say they don't vanity size, but these are at least 2 inches bigger than they listed.

the jacket is just too tight. Obviously, going somewhere in person for the time being is not practical or feasible, but my recommendation still is for made to measure in person.

As for the double breasted recommendation, I’m a fan but the style has to be something you’re comfortable with. Also, you’ll almost certainly want to get fitted for something like that in person. If you think a single breasted coat is hard to fit, few things are less forgiving than a poorly fitting double breasted suit.
