SM geared up.

 

[c.bisesar]

This isn't a SM product but I'll share it because I find them to be way better than any OEM suit hangers I've ever received from any brand. In particular the shoulder end shape keeps jacket shoulders rounded yet slim enough so you can add more jackets in your wardrobe. The hook is also the same quality as the Isaia hangers which imo is the best I've ever gotten. The price used to be $596 inc free shipping worldwide and each hanger packed individually and put in a single huge box. You can pm them and hopefully they'll give a better price. So it was $12 for a solid custom made hanger that you can put your initial or logo on.

Dang, at $783.98 USD that's nearly $1000.00 CAD, 20 bucks a hanger ? maybe one day, but today is not that day.

Can anyone comment on quarter-zip sizing?

173 cm, 165 lb, 40R Slim OTR, ordered the large quarter zip. Out the box it fit decently with a fair amount of room to breath. After a cold wash and flat dry, it shrunk a little and was a bit more snug. Personally I liked the fit after the wash so it's a winner for me, but something to consider.

Mine are similarly shaped, with pants bar, and I get them in six-packs for about $30 a pack. If I could blow $20 per hanger, I'm pretty sure my suits would mostly just be scattered all over the floor of my yacht while I embarrass myself with my cocaine, firearms collection, and ten Croatian prostitutes.

The jacket is too long and it makes you look shorter. imo.

Disagree. Good, classic length. I despise short jackets. This is the perfect length. A shorter jacket would appear stubby. A longer jacket conceals the hips and tush and emphasizes a cleaner, straighter, narrower leg line.

Similar but those 6 in $30 ones are usually wide but short in height thus creating a rather sharp edge in front of the shoulders which isn't good for soft leather jackets. What you should aim for is this:

Classic jacket should be at most as long as the shown trouser. If narrow leg line is required then wear a slim.

I appreciate your perspective in this thread and other threads as you offer a contrary point of view to most participants.

I agree that the outfit makes his lower body look shorter than the upper body. At first glance I thought the jacket was at fault as well. But having looked at the outfit again it can either be a deceiving camera angle or the fact that the trousers are a tad to short in combination with the loafers that have a short vamp giving the impression that the lower body is too short vis-a-vis the upper body.

Judging by where the jacket ends, the length seems legit.

Just my 2c..

While this discourse generally helps others, I also don't think it's productive to discuss the minutiae of fit in an affiliate thread. Save that for the tailors-fit thread.

How do we discuss a certain fit if you don't post there?

So, you got four fit replies, two that confirmed that the fit was good while two offered personal opinions/improvements and you chose to dismiss the two latter as this is not a thread for commenting fits yet didn't say anything regarding the two positive fit comments?

Sounds to me as your issue is based in something else.

Hundreds and hundreds of pages in this thread testifies to the fact that people seek fit comments in here. Take it for what it is.

I think it might be just the angle of the camera. It looks like it's shooting down creating an effect.
