After one too many wash and wears, the roll on my SM OCBD doesn't have the volume/presence it once did. Any tips on how to restore and maintain it?

Request for a fit check: This is a 38S. I measured myself at a 36 chest though I don't know how well I can measure. I love the color but not 100% of the fit.

The pants fit great, but the jacket seems big to me. I don't wear a lot of suits so maybe I'm just unfamiliar. Should I keep it, size down to a 36 (S/R) or just switch over to slim fit? Oh and I'm about 5'11", ~165 pounds.

Thanks!
Looks good to me. I don't know that I would go any slimmer. Even current trend it going the other way. Just take to the tailor and they can make a few adjustments. You could try the 38 Slim but I don't think I would go to a 36

Two quick questions:

1) Does anyone know whether S&M's jacket length measurements are from the back or front bottom of collar to hem?

2) For a guy that's 5'9, do you think an 11.5" rise is too long? I'd like to know other 5'9 or 5'10 guys' preferences when it comes to front pants rise.

Thanks!

Back. Bottom of collar.

I'm 5'10" and the higher rise 11.5" is good for me.

Do you think the jacket is too short based on the pictures? I think it's possible that we have a different ratio of torso to leg length.

Hard to say. Mine is probably about that or slightly longer. Try a 38R? or you can't return?

I actually have both suits and am planning on returning one. I can post a pic of the 38R. The website measurements suggest that the jacket is 2 inches longer and when I tried it earlier it felt pretty long.

Newbie here - thinking about picking up a couple pairs of S&M Trousers and wanted to know if the only pants that come in Contemporary High Raise are the pants with side tabs? Thanks!

Usually their high rise trousers come with single pleat and side tabs.

No that doesnt look short at all. In fact I'm surprised you're a 38S. I'm 5"7 and find their 38S in regular cut too short.

Has anyone purchased these suits before and can provide a picture of the color IRL?
