Double pleated pants with split rear waistband (Chu pants are quite nice). Half canvas. Size 44R. MSRP $1,295. I'm selling it for $350 shipped to the U.S. Canada or overseas will be an additional $35.

are they forward or reverse pleats on the pants?

 

[chorse123]

They are reverse pleats.

chorse is this a true size 44R, unlike brioni or T&A that sizes a bit small?

 

[chorse123]

Sent you a PM. I don't think Chu suits run small, but I'll take pictures and measurements in an hour or so.

 

[SuitingStyle]

ya, Chu suits run pretty standard to true size, I am usually 56Euro , Chu 44R fits me pretty well ..........

 

[sho'nuff]

hmmmm... i am a 54 Euro.. well at least in my amazing emporio armani.

doesnt 56 translate to 46 no?

or does 56 mean 44 in translat

 

[SuitingStyle]

depends, I would say 56euro is more like a large 44 to a slim 46, I am a in between size , more like 45 american (that's my BB golden fleece size) ......

PS. enough bump for this , that's see the photos already

thanks for the info ,style,


chorse or ed, how would you rate david chu suits? compared to let say all the other big hitters like attolini, borelli, brioni, isaia
and others like canali, zegna, etc.

are there different lines in david chu for suits?

 

[chorse123]

Because they are not full canvas, I'd rate them below the big names. But among the half canvas suits (Corneliani for Ralph Lauren is probably the biggest name) they are the best, in my opinion. Nice fabrics, the lapels are well done, great lapel roll. Pick stitching that looks good, not like a lot of suits in the same price range. The pants are very nice. I've never seen a sale suit in my size, in a color that works for me, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy if I did. I don't believe there are different lines, but the fabric does change the price. Pictures and measurements will be up in a minute.

 

[sho'nuff]

awesome! if you can compare it to corneliani and such and is tops then that is great for me.

(anything better than my low-armholed jack victor, hugo boss, and emporio armani is superlative)
i would love my first half canvassed suit!.

(pending photos of course)

Yes, definitely a significant step up from those. Pics and measurements are up.

Yeah, it's sharp. The thing I like about it is that it's probably "office appropriate," but it's very far from boring.
