I mean, it's not a whole size smaller. Suitsupply's suits are cut to favour lanky ectomorphs rather than the average man.

I think SS jackets are quite short.

I think SS jackets are quite short.

One big problem with SS jackets is that my normal size that otherwise fits is too slim to layer knitwear underneath. But then if I sized up, all kinds of non-straightforward alterations would be needed. SS sources great fabrics but their pieces are too slim, their lapels too skinny, their gorges too high. I wish they'd ease up and adopt more classic proportions.

Very, very good question. I ordered MTO trousers a couple weeks ago just to see the difference between RTW and to do an experiment to gather data on the question you posed. Barring any quality control issues, I should be able to report back towards the middle of November.

Hey @wilcthree any feedback on your MTO trousers regarding this point?

Threw on the S&M full canvas Neo suit for my doctoral dissertation defense today. First time wearing this suit and the occasion calls for something special.

Tie is Drakes for Paul Stuart. It’s one of my favorite foulards.

Trews could use a bit of work to drape cleaner, especially behind the knee.

Forget the suit from this post ... the doctoral defense is huge! Congrats

(Although the outfit is awesome and I really enjoy seeing your pics. Don't stop those ...)

Yes, this is a notorious problem with S&M. I recently had a tailor take in the bicep area and the end result was good.

How much did it run you?

I am contemplating returning it, but not sure yet.

Anyone else have bicep areas that are too loose?

Yes, I'd like one! I have a S&M order arriving on Wednesday. Is anyone keeping track of how many drops there have been this month? This is like the fourth or fifth one. I really wish they would just drop all the new stuff at the beginning of the month or something. This trickle out approach is killing me.

Better to keep the money flowing in.

Anyone grabbed the cream and brown houndstooth? How is it?

Anyone know if it's possible to get sleeves on MTO sportcoats slimmed? I don't see any option for that in the sizing section

Congratulations! That’s a big moment when your reading committee calls you “doctor”!

Hey sir! Yup. Receiving them this Wednesday. Will report back when I unbox them.

 

[wilcthree]

You've definitely stepped up the fit pic quality ?

I appreciate it!

Like the guy said, known problem. Look at a lot of the pics esp neo that guys post, you'll notice arms that look too big relative the rest of the portions. All IMO, of course.

As I wait for S&M BF sell I have a question for people familiar with Suit supply. I know it always a repeated question but how does suit supply havana compare with S&M contemp SC size? I reviewed the size chart and the measurements looks the same but I would love somebody personal opinion. I wear a size 44r in S&M. I was gonna grab this too but the matching trousers seem to run much smaller than S&M trousers. Is there much luck with letting out their trousers in the seat and thighs? View attachment 1503016

SuitSupply Havana is SMALLER/TIGHTER than S&M SLIM. I have a bunch of both, and this is always the case. In fact, I would reckon that the Suitsupply Sienna is closer to S&M slim, and the Sienna is still more trim, but much closer to the S&M slim.
