Looking forwaed to seeing your rewards but the wait would just kill me

Yep, it's taking a very long time. I'm actually trying out several companies right now. I have orders in with Lanieri, Luxire, and Proper Cloth.

the only order I've received has been from Luxire, but they are so blindingly fast that I actually have ordered 4 times from them to see what they have and what they can do. I've been quite impressed - the longest it's taken has been 10 days.

Fit and quality / price are the most important things, though, so the wait isn't really a big deal as long as the product delivers. I am quite interested to see what Lanieri sends me.

Well, my first shirt is finally in the mail. the estimated delivery date is Monday, 9-20. The tie I ordered is out of stock. No word yet on a refund or different item.

We'll see when the box arrives.

It's here........the beige cotton / alpaca shirt. The fabric is excellent and will work on its own or under a sportcoat. Construction is very good, and the fit is near-prefect. It needs the armhole area trimmed by about 2/3" but that's it. It's completely wearable as-is (I wore it today in fact), but to be perfect it will need a slight alteration.

They nailed the shoulders, body, waist, and everythign else. For a dress shirt, I'd want a more substantial collar, but for this shirt, the collar is just fine.

I'm pretty happy with it. They got the fit just about as good as Luxire on the first try, which is excellent.

I will book a video call to discuss the small alterations needed as I don't really konw how to describe what needs to be trimmed.

Nice. My suit arrived, but I’m in Italy. Will check it on Wednesday.

can lanieri do a neapolitan cut?

HOnestly I don't know. I have only ordered these shirts at this point - a suit may come later. They have a chat / message feature on their website where you could ask them. I'm pretty sure they'd accommodate you.

Sorry for the ****** pics and my feet or the mess, but I just put them on to try.

my suit arrived and I am quite happy. I also lost weight since I ordered. I will shorten sleeves a tiny bit (personal preference) and will check the length of the pants.For my first ever MTM online and with a friend taking measurements I think it turned out good

Some better pictures. Reminder that I have lost 6 kg since I made them.

The trousers fit superb for me and are perfect height.

The jacket will require some slight adjustments as I plan to lose more weight. Probably around the waist to taper it a little bit. Shoulders are very slightly bigger than I needed, but it honestly was the toughest measurement to take (I used a friend tailor).

Sorry for highjacking the thread but I suppose it's relevant.

For anyone interested, shoes are Paolo Scafora, Shirt from Apposta, Tie from Granqvist Sweden and Square from Dignito.

Oh my - I hope whatever's going on with your toes heals up soon - that doesn't look pleasant.

Not at all....it's great to see some better pics, I couldn't tell much from the first ones. Overall not bad.

Yes, it looks like the shoulders could be a bit narrower. Is the jacket as long as it looks? It seems to hit about mid-thumbnail which is a tad long for my personal taste. I'm glad you're loving it, that's what matters. Thanks again for posting. I think the more info out there the better.

The toes are fine now :)

the jacket is good in length, just about covers my seat. Could be the wide angle lens.

the shoulders are a tad bigger but it’s honestly fine. I think this result gives me a good platform for the next suit. Though I will be living in Italy and my next suit from them will be in store.

Sounds truly delightful on both counts. I look forward to seeing future iterations of your fit from them.

Thanks. The fabric is superb. I think I’ll make all my future trousers here. Customer service has been top notch for me too.

Here's one last. I quite like it. I will shorten sleeves 0.75 cm and take in the waist slightly as I am going further down in weight. The trousers are fantastic, I won't buy again from Suitsupply. Same with the shirts I get from Apposta.

Why are you moving to Italy? Better business climate?
