Saw today’s deal is Melton overcoat. I wear a 36R suit, should I order a 38 or 36? According to the description I should size up to wear it over a suit right? How long is the overcoat? Can you provide some measurements? Is this a knee length or mid calf?

Beautiful. I swear those jackets look a different shade in every photo posted - from light to dark.

This is probably truer to shade. My image post processing creates variation.

My single experience with Brooks bros bow ties has been good.

Have ordered my bow tie from Suit Supply and my cummerbund from Charles Tyrwhitt. Satisfied with both, but they have only been worn once.

Do you have to wear cummerbunds with a tux? They look weird to me lol.

What's the average response rate from customer service?

I never got a response to my requests to alter my order last week.

This morning I requested a return authorization and return shipping thing (first sportcoat order). It's only been seven hours, but I'd like to get it in the mail on the way home from work today.

Requested my return label last night and just got a response about 30 min ago.

So I’ve seen kind of a drop off in 36S in the contemporary fit. Is this going away? Really bummed - it’s the only suiting I’ve found that fits me perfectly off the rack.

coming back in spring.

Awesome, thanks so much for the heads up. Just curious - is it possible to do a ‘slight’ MTO based on the contemp fit? If so what’s the easiest way to pursue that? I keep looking for cheap flights to visit from DC but man it just doesn’t happen. Wish you’d do a road show someday!

Thanks. Just got mine.

I've added the comment: exchange or store credit (not refund) on each of the three invoice copies.
