Formal fresco

I got the E Thomas gun check in today. It fits a bit slimmer than some of my other neo cuts. I’m not complaining though. It saves me a little bit on alterations.

Looks very nice and flattering, and you get bonus points for keeping the mirror clean

Any idea who makes the pocket square that accompanies the blue washed cotton jacket on the website?

Linen neos coming next week? Any sneak peeks?

If you are on the fence with the green seersucker you should just pull the trigger. Don’t end up with regrets with this one.

I returned mine because of sizing being a bit off, but I keep looking at it again and again. Personally, I'd love if the actual green shade was closer to this picture.

have you worn the jacket when the weather was hot and stuffy? Does fresco really make a huge difference?

Hi guys, as I start to play with idea to broaden my S&M palette of products with a suit/sport coat, I do think about hitting the proper size. With height of 178 cm and 105 chest, I do not know, where to point to exactly. I have 80 kgs. With SuSu, I wear 50. What would your suggestions be like?
I wear S&M shirts in 16 Slim and trousers 34 contemporary.
Any advise, highly appreciated.

Cheers. Diana and Gerald (unsure if I'm allowed to plug a fellow AV/theoretical competitor) know a thing or two about good ties.

Huge? Depends on your body/climate, to be honest. I wore this to a (mercifully) indoor wedding in the south last August. Was perfectly doable indoors, but I would have been feeling the heat had it been outdoors. I've also worn it on a passably decent NYC day last July, and I survived the day without turning into a sweaty mess. It is certainly more breathable than a typical wool of similar weight, which helps, but I think at a certain point wearing a suit (particularly the jacket) is going to be uncomfortable, particularly if you're outside frequently and dealing with crap (read: humid) weather. For my money, I'd say linen & linen/cotton shirts are your best bet when the weather is really grimy.

There are different Suitsupply models. With a 106 cm chest I am surprised that you find size 50 SuSu a good fit; it must fit fairly closely on you. Best advice is to look up the measurements for the SS jacket that best fits you and compare to the measurements for the S&M jackets.

I’m also quite surprised, that it goes. I have 2 linen Havana suits in 50 and one 110s Napoli in 50. But really, my chest is 106 and the fit is not super relaxed but neither super tight. It’s alright, so far.

Was a warm try on today, as I got my size 36 black peacoat! I know this is a bit longer than a traditional peacoat, but how long should it be? It seems to be hitting me a tad above mid thigh, but shoulders and sleeve length seem good. Opinions please

Fits you well in the shoulders, sleeves & waist

Had to correct myself. Lastly riding a lot on a road bike, I got just 104-105 chest. But guess, that does not make huge difference.
