yes. Something like up to 2-2.5cm, I thinkI picked up a blue sienna suit from SS a few months ago. Haven't worn it out yet. I recently tried it on and honestly, the sleeves are a bit short. I think they adjusted them a bit too much. if I bring it in they can add a bit of length to the sleeves, right?
Suitsupppy rtw can only be adjusted +/- 1.5 cm due to the buttonsyes. Something like up to 2-2.5cm, I think
Which one is that? I just received two of them - navy flannel and black hounds tooth. The latter one is really amazing! Too bad it doesn't have sleeve lining ☹️I just got the new beige safari jacket. Looks great in my opinion, just need to figure out some combinations.

I love their safari jackats and own 5 of them. However this new linen design failed to impress me. I own an old design light Grey linen jacket and it's mind blowing. Linen has 3 dimensional texture that ads a lot of depth and luxuriousness to it. My most favorite jacket and the only piece I got numerous compliments on by strangers in Sweden. For the record - Swedes would rather die than talk to a stranger ?. That's how good that jacket is!
Ha! I have compromised and gone with dark jeans or casual-ish trousers and a sportcoat, but stopped short of the full suit. My only "reason" is that it's what I look best in. Why not look your best?
Both the fabrics I have are VBC S130 wool. One is navy (580.901/420) and the other is mid grey (580.901/4). As @Marc S said, they are both quite light, soft, and fine. As to the fabrics I would shy away from, I don't have enough of a knowledge of this to say one way or another. But my thought is that if a fabric is fine for half-canvas--as, I imagine, most of SuitSupply's fabrics are--it would be fine for full-canvas, too.
I have the standard canvas weight on both suits. Although--unless the SuitSupply representative messed up and accidentally entered the light canvas option--the suits feel quite light overall.
Sure! Here are a few photos. It’s a beautiful color and I’d say it’s a solid navy, not too dark, taking it to black, and not too light, taking it to blue.I'm currently looking to buy my first navy suit and I'm unsure of the color. Some navy suits appear almost black, while others are blue or even grey. Could you post a pic of your 580.901/420 suit?
Also if anyone has any suggestion for a classic navy fabric that's available in the custom program I'd appreciate it!
Suitsupply Europe had some significant price increase yesterday ..
Some Lazio jackets went from 249 EUR to 299 EUR .. The wool t shirt I bought for 59 few days ago went to 69 overnight ..
Around 20% increase .. I guess that's the real past year inflation in the world anyway ..
Honestly everything is more expensive now. Inflation in the US is around 7%. It is a seller's market. Not a great time to buy a new or used car, homes are significantly overpriced, food is more expensive, I could go on. I hope that eventually there is a correction.
