All,

Not sure if many of you shop at Mr. Porter. I know we've had a few threads on here before about sales, etc.

They recently curated a special sale on Italian designers like Etro and Brioni but the only sizes they sold were 38, 40, 42, 44. I am a 41 long and this does not work for me.

So I have two points:

-Is anyone else an L or an odd size and do you get upset that those options are generally not offered as much online. Any specific sites you've found that do have a wider selection?

-Also, I did shoot an email to Mr. Porter customer service and was pretty pleased with the interaction (it was polite and thorough). Basically, they said they don't stock odd sizes but may in the future. A few of the designers they carry (Paul Smith and RLBL, for example) are, however, offered on their site in a L.

I'm a 36S. I don't even search suits online because of this. I've found MrPorter to be a fantastic sales experience, but it's a spotty thing. They have a lot of cool stuff but it helps if you're 38, 40, or 42.
