Hi!
I would like som fit advice for this Suitsupply suit. This is a EU size 50.
Trouser length and sleeve length is obvious, and easily fixed.
I am thinking the jacket might be a bit to tight over the chest and might be too short, which would mean sizing up to a size 102.
(And it looks too tight over ******, but I think its mostly because the akwardly tense stance)

I am also in the process of ordering a 3 piece mto from Suitsupply in the same Havana style. Since it will have a full lining and a wasitcoat, I'm thinking that it will have to be a size bigger, even if i decides to keep the suit in the pictures.

Agree with your assessment that the jacket is a size too small in the chest. Not sure if you have to go to a long size but one benefit is that the buttoning point will be lower.

You probably should go to a long size. People forget that shoes will add another 1" or so to their legs, which is a bit more than the added length of an L jacket with Suitsupply sizing. Put some shoes on and look again, it will be apparent that the jacket is too short.

Thanks!
This is the difference in the size for size 50 and size 102. Im 187 cm, which is just below the cut off for Suitsupplys recommendations for "Long". The button placement is the biggest problem for me with size 50, not the actual length

I think you can get away with that size. I believe if you size up, the shoulders will start to drape too much. That being said, I would reckoned letting out the jacket just a little, as Suitsupply always leaves about an inch of fabric in the middle seam. But I agree, L would be better.
