Sorry that I'm stirring the thread into a different direction but can anyone in the Los Angles area tell me where I can find some good suits in 36? I checked ehaberdasher and they don't seem to have much selection in my size. Am I out of luck and should look into MTM of bespoke? Thanks~

Would you recommend center vent or no vent in this particular case? Thanks!

^^ The M. Valentino Milano cut is the slimmest line he carries and are pretty good quality. Much better than what you'd find at MW or JAB. Decent selection of styles and Long sizes too.

Half canvassed jackets, dual vent, high armholes, pants lined to the knee, flat front, and decent fabrics. Buttons are kinda plasticy/crappy looking but they're easily replaced.

If you email him directly and mention you're on Styleforum then he will likely cut you a deal compared to his eBay prices.

We have a few fully canvassed Benjamin suits in size 36R (and most other sizes as well):

http://store.ehaberdasher.com/Categories.bok?$catalog.Oem=Benjamin&keyword=36r

These are a fantastic value and we still have the 16.66% promotion (BENSFDISC). This also includes the suit separates so you can purchase the pants separately, or get a 2nd pair which is a great option. Free domestic returns also for the Benjamini clothing line off our site, and for more info on the line click on the link below!

These are by far outselling the Valentino Roma suits - even though the Valentino suits are only $299.99.
