got curious, and now have a new appreciation for how time consuming this process is. these might be new, but i also might just be bad at searching their website and/or have forgotten seeing them in prior seasons. and even if they are new i bet i didn't catch 'em all.

I like that charcoal windowpane, but I'm all about Custom Made now. New navy suit.

Are the results consistent?

My first custom made suit was great but on my second several measurements were off. Hesitant to try it again.


Looks great btw, but did you go for a slimmer leg this time?

 

[Michael81]

Thanks. The results have been fairly consistent; the waist of the grey trousers had to be taken in, but that's been the only alteration necessary so far. This suit felt pretty good in store, but you're correct: they came back a bit slimmer in the thigh than I wanted. The foot opening is actually 1.5 cm wider than the other trousers, but it's hard to tell in photos. I actually wanted to increase it by 2 cm, but .5 cms is not a huge deal. They still drape a lot better than the RTW equivalents.

Even if some measurements are off, it's still worth it because A) alterations are included in the price and B) even with some variation it's much better than RTW.

Hey much appreciated! I can understand magic can be a tiring process but keep working it!

Agreed. Having to go back for alterations is just an inconvenience for me since I live far from the store.

 

[Michael81]

I'm about 2 hours away by train so it's not exactly convenient for me either. Presumably most custom alterations can be done while you wait, but it does suck when you discover flaws after taking delivery. I've had to make the pilgrimage to Helsinki on many occasions on that basis and it does get annoying.

Looking very good! Is this Custom as in MTM or the custom option on their website?

 

[Michael81]

Thank you kindly. It's the custom option; can recommend. Lazio jacket and Washington trousers.

The trousers are 2 sizes larger to accommodate my thighs and gigantic ass, and the leg opening is about 2.5 cm's wider. The jacket required the usual nips and tucks and I I changed the length from 78 cm to 79 cm.

 

[Zerase]

So you order bigger trousers and have them sewn in the waist once they are delivered or how does it work?

 

[Michael81]

I did an initial fitting in-store. Everything comes as specified directly from the factory.

Thank you kindly. It's the custom option; can recommend. Lazio jacket and Washington trousers.

I’m a big fan of the Lazio as well. Picked up my Lazio tuxedo today, and I love it.

 

[Michael81]

Nice, enjoy. I can't say there are many, if any, occasions in my life which call for a tux. It is a pity.

Lazio is decent, although I would prefer a slightly lower button stance. I would say it is the only SuSu fit I'd consider. I do like the Washington silhouette but the details kind of kill it for me.

 

[Veremund]

The button stance on the Lazio tuxedo is in the classic, “low” position. I was pleasantly surprised by that when I buttoned it up.

 

[Versace Guy]

Hello all. I am thinking about buying an older Suitsupply model called "Livorno". Does anyone have any knowledge on the fit of this model compared to other models? Any help is appreciated!
