As others mentioned, it fits well and the price is wonderful. But, I disagree with Morningstar; I think the double breasted-ness of the suit calls more attention to the fact that it's a bit short.

Any one else with first hand experience with RLPL 'custom fit' suits and sport coats?
(in regards to how they fit)
I see a couple currently listed on eBay that I like. . .

I have two RLPL custom fit suits. One in a grey windowpane, 2 button, and another in navy stripe double breasted. They are my favorite off the rack suits. The pants are generally slimmer and flat front with a shorter rise. Also the jacket is about 3/4" shorter than the regular length for that size, and more suppressed in the waist I think. Can't really comment much on the shoulders, but they feel pretty natural to me.

Any one willing to post fit pics to satisfy my curiosity. . . ?
Also, are there 'custom fit' sport coats/blazers?
(I haven't come across any on eBay so far.)
