My new suit from Suit Supply, your thoughts?

[Evergreen88]

Personally I think the suit fits you well.

You look like a young fit guy and that suit compliments your build. The sleeves might be 1 cm too short but it's not the end of the world, it still looks nice.

It's just a matter of preference, this is a slim cut, if you like slim cuts just enjoy it!

I think it looks fine too. As people have said, SS makes trendy suits. And I think trendy suits are fine for young guys.

ayyy lmao

that’s correct posture I guess? The lapels are fine on the 42R jacket

I agree that it looks better on the 42. But I don't think it's correct posture. I think young guys do it to look large, swoll, jacked, or whatever. It was first pointed out to me in high school. I was on the football team, and when we were having our pictures taken for the yearbook, a lot of guys struck that pose. One coach (a priest, former Green Beret, and Vietnam vet, whom we all admired) pointed it out. He said we didn't look big, but dumb, and, in fact, it makes one look small because it makes one's shoulders look narrower.

In addition to causing the lapels to bow in some of your pics, its also causing what is sometimes called shoulder divots and the twisting of the fabric on your sleeves.

I almost always look like that even when I'm not posing. I used to be sloucher and walk looking to the ground as teen. Makes you look taller, well not really but you look your actual height.

Your coach was wrong. If youre slouching and your shoulder are rolled forward, you look smaller, if you stand straight with shoulder a bit more open, makes you look wider, that's common sense. There are some guys who exaggerate that pose though and have that invisible lat syndrome ,that's what your coach referred to I guess

 

[emptym]

He wouldn't want the shoulders to be rolled forward, just down and relaxed -- kind of a happy medium between pulled back and rolled forward. The other thing is the arms akimbo element. He called it the gunslinger pose. Seems designed to look ready for action. (That or you just need to air out your armpits. ) Of course, large and ready for action are things young guys generally want to be, so it makes sense that they'd adopt that pose for pics.

You're one of the most disagreeable people I've ever come across. Almost every time someone has offered you advice, you've disagreed and offered some ridiculous opinion that invariably proves to be wrong.

Your "do you know where the weight room is?" pose looks silly and compromises the jacket. That isnt how you would stand naturally. You asked in yet another thread if this forum is too critical. I'm beginning to wonder if you're just an exhausting person by nature. The evidence is mounting...

He’s really just trolling at this point

What Evergreen 88 said. Your over thinking it. Suit looks fine.

 

[FlyingHorker]

Call Spier & Mackay. Give them measurements. Buy core suit.

???

Profit!

everyone says is too short including the suit supple customer service

 

[Hellbent]

I agree that the jacket looks slightly too short. Basically it should be long enough as to cover your rear. Longer than that is about adapting for your style and body specifics. Sometimes style takes priority and you see shorter men wearing long jackets which make them look smaller etc.

Then have it lengthened. Problem solved.

So I'm sending back the short jacket, once they receive it, they will ship me an unaltered 42R Lazio jacket and I'll post the photos here. I'm reluctant to take in the waist this time as it would make the hips flare out unless the bottom of the jacket is taken in as well which is a lot more work

Really think you should just find a good tailor and stop trying to micromanage the process. Don't assume you know more than a good tailor. If you don't have a good tailor, any info you find here or online will be mostly useless. The goal is to learn what you can online to help you find a good tailor, but in the end, you just need to find a good tailor.

If you find a good tailor, and just let him or her do their work, without you interjecting, you will likely come out with something good.

but what could they really alter to make the jacket better though

like you said taking in the waist will; make the hips flare out unless the bottom area is also taken in

I'll probably just wear it without alterations and stop obsessing over suits
