Got my navy peak lapel in today, this thing is pretty damn sweet:

very Tom Ford-esque, can’t wait time wear this. the ticket pocket will take some getting used to, but just because I’m not used to ticket pockets. The Guabello 120s is just as great as you’d expect.

Also, go ‘Stros!

Is this the length you usually buy? Buttoning point looks high and jacket looks short. (I know, I know, not the best pic to judge this by, but still.)

It is, it’s a 38R- the angle is always off in my photos, but the jacket covers my butt and hits right above my thumb knuckle. That said- a consistent complaint I’ve had with S&M is that I could use an extra .5”-1”in length on the regular length. It’s within the range of acceptable, but I would prefer a touch longer.

I placed an order last Wednesday, still haven't received a shipping notification. At first I assumed they were just backed up from the suit sale, but beginning to wonder. Anyone else still waiting?

Moi aussi. But, that's standard from my order history. I'm not worried, yet.

I think I see your problem: you're 5'11" and wear size 38...

I'm not sure it's that simple. I'm 6' and wear 38.

Visual reference for the XL cardigan from last F/W. I take a 42R in BB and similar and Large in Lands End or LL.Bean for reference.

This is also a best case shot, when I'm sitting its worse. This is why I went with XXL for the next buy even for the turtlenecks (I hope they ship soon, I may have to retire this one).

I'm 6'2" and wear a 38L-39L. I just order long sizes from S&M, since their regular cut happens to be shorter in the body and sleeves than I need.

i order 38L when available, but it’s often not available (as was the case with this suit). 40L would be too wide in the shoulders.

I’m 5’11”/155-160lbs/38” chest/32” waist/32” inseam. Basically a runners build. BOC measurement ideally 30.5”. That BOC is what makes S&M somewhat of a crapshoot for me- if I get a regular length (29.5”), if it’s on the longer side of their tolerances, it works great, where the shorter side of the tolerance might be borderline. With the 38L length (at 30.5”), the longer side of the tolerance would be too long.

I feel like all these height comparisons are worthless without 2 more measurements. Some people are more legs and some are more torso. If you included your inseam and normal BOC measurement, it would help people understand.

Maybe @induere_to could shine more light onto useful measurements when trying to compare sizes on a forum. He loves this **** according to his Insta

Lol, I am 5’11 but I am wearing 36 mostly.

updated my post with both measurements.
Once I get the pants altered I’ll take a full mirror picture, which I imagine will look more proportional than what I posted yesterday

If I want to wear it over a sport coat and I am a normal 42, do I order a Large (42) or size up to XL (44)?

Whether you believe in natural design, evolution, or natural selection, I’m sure we can all agree that everyone is born different. I had an appointment this year with a gentleman looking for a custom tuxedo for his wedding, his inseam was 0 inches... however he wanted it measured to accommodate for his prosthetic stilts. If he was on this forum he could possibly pitch in that you’re all wrong.

The majority of the guys that try on suits in my downtown Toronto store, think our jackets are way too long because they’re used to seeing themselves in popular brands with big names that have more fashionable reputations. I was just talking to another friend of mine in the industry just this morning about a new company that opened up in Toronto that specializes in tight-fit, stretch suits and shirts that have established such a massive following on Instagram in just the few months that they’ve been open.

No company can make twelve different-length jackets to accommodate each individual, being all a foot different in height.

For guidance, however, jacket lengths cannot be altered but sleeve lengths can. Shoulders cannot be adjusted but the waist can. With preferences of shoulder width and back length, buy accordingly and get the garments adjusted by a tailor. We sell 34S and I’ve had a guy 6’3” asking for 34L, but how many of those am I actually going to sell?

But, we’ve now launched mto and that should help fill in these individually acquired details. I’m 6’ and wear a 38R and find the button stance too low for the proportions of the jacket itself and can sometimes find the jacket length shorter than I’d like on my lengthy carcass. But then again, my made-to-measure bookshelf is my candy store.

Good question. Based on the fit guide of that jacket, a L is more like an XL.
