Which newer creative takes are you a fan of?

I can't point to any one thing in specific. Generally, I treat their sites and ads like look books, where I gather ideas and inspiration. For example, I may see a pattern that I like, a new shade or color they're toying around with this season, how they put together outfits, etc.

True. I’ve been a longtime customer of theirs, so I understand and agree with your point about their base customer, suit fit and alterations, and suit models. Looking to dip my toe in their custom online program.

I honestly would not recommend the custom online program for you (or anyone who isn't happy with their RTW fit). You'll just get a RTW fit but get to choose some design options, which sounds like you wouldn't be happy with.

You would have to go in-store to get the adjustments input by an associate at the time of order for the fit you've described. I know going to a store isn't always possible for everyone, though.

Helpful. I live in LA, plenty of SuSu stores around. I might make a trip in to experiment with those options once Corona passes. Might take a stab at some custom online dress shirts through them, though. I see some stripes I like. Plus, SuSu shirts fill an interesting place in my closet; I'm of the rare breed who kind of likes them.

Pretty sure I'll never buy anything RTW from SuSu again seeing as MTM cost (more or less) the same...

Why are Suitsupply's shirts disliked? I have five of them and I am pretty pleased with four of them. The only reason I do not like the fifth is because it has a classical collar with soft interlining that just does not hold well on me (soft narrow collars simply do not work on me) and the twill Egyptian cotton fabric is a tad too thick.

I'd recommend seeing Michael Rooders in Century City or Brandon Romero at the Newport Beach/Fashion Island shop. Michael is likely the most experienced MTM/custom Susu associate in the US since the previous head of MTM recent left.

I worked with Brandon for a couple years and helped train him in MTM. He likely has more time to spend with customers since their smaller location sees less traffic.

Both are super passionate about what they do and are menswear enthusiasts, not your average Susu associates.

IME: very, VERY slim cut; sleeves that suffocate my arms; fabric just not worth what SS charges.

Yeh, I've heard concerns around fabric not worth what SuSu charges when there are other companies whose shirts are better fabric/quality-wise.

Appreciate it!

That certainly is interesting as I have found even their very slim fits to be too baggy and have had them taken in. I like reasonably roomy shirts not skintight shirts as well and I am not a skinny guy either. I agree on the fabrics though, they are decent, but nothing special.

I actually have found it odd that their shirts are so baggy considering that most of their other clothing - trousers and jackets especially - are so slim and tapered.

How do SuSu winter coats fit? I’m interested in this one: https://suitsupply.com/en-us/men/coats/mid-green-overcoat/J778I.html if nothing else for the color.

My guess is that it's going to fit like a Havana. Looking at it though it doesn't seem like it'd keep you very warm on a very cold day, though.

 

[wilcthree]

Gotcha. Wondering if I should size up so I can wear a suit or sportcoat underneath. Yeh, I don’t think it would keep me that warm, either. But as an East Coaster living in LA, I just like coats. Lol

 

[archipel]

I sized up for the coats because it was very cramped for me when I took the same size coat and jacket underneath.

Good to know. This is what I figured.
