The high button stance together with wide lapels makes a jacket somewhat awkward proportionally, at least to my eyes.

I have :) First impression is that the price/quality ratio is excellent. The fabric is very nice and it feels like a solid pick for early spring. However, I am not sure I will keep it as I feel the colour is a bit too dark and I am not sure that I like the style. Too much in between formal and casual. Or maybe I am just not used to it? I don’t know. Snapped a quick photo at work so you can see how it looks live

At first try on, I was on the fence, however, after trying on again, I really like it! I will need to get the waist tapered an possibly the sleeves shortened (though will first let them naturally wrinkle given it is linen). I am also unsure if I prefer it with or without the belt. May get the belt loops removed. Otherwise, I think a very good value piece!

Try knotting the belt in back like a Burberry trench. I do that with a similar Norfolk jacket that I got from the outlet. Tapers the side in nicely and keeps the detail of the belt.

Anyone with any thoughts on any of the following? I have some interest in all 3. My concern is that the green one may be brittle and easily damaged, the white is not versatile, and the blue stripe is linen and will wrinkle easily and I just do not have enough experience to know how that would look with pinstripes.

To me, the white windowpane is what SuSu is best at. I’d love that jacket, and wear it all summer. The green is a conservative choice—if that’s what you need right now. The striped one would take so much confidence to pull off.

Striped one i am honestly looking at buying.

The problem is that it is a bit one dimensional. Sneakers and a white T shirt is just about the most you can do with it.

Fantastic casual suit summer option though.

Off white checked jacket for me. The pinstripe suit is too bold and loud for me to pull off (power to whoever can rock it) and fabric on the green jacket reminds me of medieval armours.

The new website layout is cumbersome. The spring selection is underwhelming. Already waiting for Fall/Winter ’19/20. They might do a presentation if they haven’t already like they did last year
