I've got 4 RLBL suits, one of which was from last fall. The other three are slightly older, including one from fall 2006. All of the suits are 42L and fit perfectly except for the most recent one, which is tight in the shoulders and arms. I also recently got a blazer in 42L which is skin tight and I'm sending it back for a 44L. When I got the blazer and the newest suit, I checked the fit of my older suits just to make sure I haven't gained some weight in the arms, and they still fit great. Has RL switched manufacturers or cut of the Black Label suit line recently?
