Suit Fit Check

[bewwies]

I recently picked up the Charcoal Tropical Wool Sport Jacket (48) and matching trousers (30) after hearing good things about Natalino. The trousers fit perfectly, but I am quite unsure about how the jacket fits. I'm 5'7, 65kg approx and most of my jackets are in size 38.

The jacket feels comfortable in the chest, but feels a little too long. I took it to a local tailor to get the unfinished sleeves shortened and get advice on altering the length, but they were very critical about the jacket, in particular, the shoulder construction and how the jacket fastens. They advised returning it and not pursuing alterations which threw me for a loop, as I quite like the jacket! I'd appreciate advice and comments on the fit.

I also have a smaller 46 on its way, and I'll post photos when I receive it.

The jacket looks like it’s a full size too big. I would try on the smaller 46 when it comes for sure.

Regarding the tailors, not sure what their issue with the shoulder was, though maybe it was legitimate. I don’t know anything about Natalino. Some tailors are not half as knowledgeable as you’d think they would be - it can be very hard to find a really, really good men’s tailor.

But yeah that suit jacket is too big. It’s very obvious that it’s a full size or two too big. Not worth tailoring in my opinion, I’d wait for the smaller size to arrive.

Actually, jacket, trousers and shirt appear a bit big.
