Same- I went back and looked, my Solaro suit has 32 waist high rise trousers that are slightly snug, and I ended up going with 33 waist for my flannel suit and blue/white seersucker. That said, I'm still ordering the 32 waist, because i've been working on losing a 1/2" from my waist, at which point they'll fit perfectly (rather than needing to take in a bunch of 33 waists).

My Covert pants from last year (high rise 32 waist) had to be let out, but those were cut incorrectly and way too slim everywhere

So I went back and looked: the measurements on the website indicate that the waistband should be 29.5 inches and the hip should measure about 36.5". I'll measure the trousers tonight to see if they match up, and I'll also take my own measurements (which I haven't done in a while) and figure out where my challenge is.

IIRC, the green seersucker suit from the last season is known to cut slimmer in the jacket and wider in the pants, than the Neo baseline.

Have you tried the jacket? How does it feel?

The jacket feels great but I am admittedly slimmer up top than down below. As I have said, I'll check the measurements again tonight and then report back.

Linen shorts...
Anyone know the inseam? And if desired, I'm wondering if they can shorten them for the $8 fee they charge for Trousers.

The hard part with shortening linen is accounting for how much shorter it'll get once it starts wrinkling. I typically prefer shorter shorts, but I think 8" could probably ride up to 6.5"-7"

These are the first run of the linen shirts? I'm keen on picking up the chino shorts though. I'd like to visit the store but we're back to full lockdown.

The rust Guabello sport coat looks great. Any real life pics yet, or did it just come out?

On a not-unrelated note, would anyone like to buy my tobacco Minnis fresco in 42L? ;)

Would also be curious to see photos IRL. Can’t decide if I’d rather have a suit of that color in linen or wool. Fresco has to be a nice option too.

I received, yesterday, the green seersucker suit, in Neapolitan cut, in a 34 short. The fabric is from Minni's. I haven't taken it to the tailor's yet, but I can tell you that the trousers are very snug in the waist. Standard 6-inch drop, so it should hit about 28. I've never had a problem with a size 28 trouser before, but I'm going to be taking these out at least an inch at my tailor's shop. Has anyone else experienced this with S&M?

This Suit, Jacket Included, Is Known To Be Snug, I Have A 44 Conmp (Snug) - Could've Gone 46Conmp, But A Lot Changes On That Side Of (46) Fence, Snug, But It's A Beauty!

Does anyone have IRL pics of the chocolate hopsack SC? Want to add my first brown SC to my slowly growing rotation, but not sure if this one would be a good choice or if I would be better off picking up a brown sport coat with a slight pattern.

Mannnnnnnn even at 8" those cream linen shorts are tempting lol. I may have to dive in
If you were one of them that wanted them shorter, apparently S&M can hem them according to a reply Rick made on IG

If that was a fresco rust suit I would have already purchased it for sure. The color looks great but not too sure if this material would work well as suit separates.
