tricky what size did you end up going with?

thanks


38R but I've been selling off my Havanas in this size as they're getting too tight in my shoulders and chest (~40").

I may order a 40 to try at some point.

Hello Gents! I couldn't wait for Suit Supply to open their store in Toronto so I went ahead and ordered from the website. Placed my order dead in the middle of the night on Monday and it will be here by Thursday. Wow. That is fast shipping - and free!

This order is really to get a grasp on how some of the clothing fits and I've always needed a plain navy suit, so I went with the London in 38R. I'm crossing my fingers that everything fits, especially with the sleeves.

I also ordered a pair of grey wool pants and a white dress shirt. I'll most likely return the pants and shirt as I just want to get a grasp on the fit.

Does anyone have experience with the London? Good? Bad?

I wear a grey flannel London regularly and love it. Strong roped shoulders, higher waisted trousers and lower buttoned jacket works well for me.

Seem to remember last year that they started rolling it out around the end of August and the Brussels store didn't get theirs until mid September.

I just posted this in the Fit Feedback thread, but I figured I could share it with you guys too! The suit is a plain blue Napoli, size 46. I'm 183,5 cm tall and weigh in at just below 70 kg. I'm positively surprised by it, although I do see some changes to be made. Any opinions from you guys?

I can't get these to load bigger so tough to tell the details, but general silhouette is decent. Is that a Euro sized 46? @PapaRubbery - the A/W will come out in Euro/US autumn, just as it's starting to warm up for you.

The London flannel looks great. I really like the cut. I think of it as a poor man's Tom Ford...broke man's Ford, maybe. But I like the way it looks on me, as well. Wish they'd put more materials up in it.

The shop assistant told me when buying it that they simple don't shift that many in the London model (especially in the US) hence the limited amount of suits they offer in it. Sadly it's not even available for MTM.
