That's how it is supposed to look like - relaxed fit for layering over tailoring. But I agree that it can be taken in a bit on the side seams.
P.S. Finally a proper cut on Suitsupply's coat. They used to have an Oxford fit and those are my favorite coats, too bad they don't release anything in that cut any more ☹️

This looks good! Thank you for sharing and I agree that this is how it is supposed to look, the fit looks great on you out of the box. Hopefully there is more released in this fit.

Thanks both. I agree it's supposed to be a relaxed fit, I just think it could be slightly taken in at the wait to create more of a subtle v shape when buttoned.

I really like this image of Oliver Dannefalk from Rubato in a similar coat.

This image from Simon Crompton in a bespoke Ciardi coat is similar too but if anything I find his coat too tight. Maybe it's just that it looks a little stiff with the collar down.

I plan to buy a double breasted jacket in a 6*1 configuration. So far I have achieved some really good results with the MTM program by lowering significantly the buttonning point (among other changes to the pattern). Do you think i also need to lower it if I get a 6*1 DB? Has any of you got one and could share the result?

Any one here who's tried SuitSupply's parkas? How are they? I am looking for a bit more stylish/"formal" parka and SuSu's alternative is one of the few I've liked. Do they keep you warm in Nordic winters? Warmer parkas are usually double the price, hence my question...

After 5 years of searching, I now own what I believe to be the *best* coat that Suitsupply ever made.

The Jort baby alpaca Merano coat with removable boiled wool lapel facing.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for a stupid fuzzy collared coat, but I love the details of the base Merano coat too. The fabric is kind of hard to photograph, but it is this really soft, plush cream/steel marbled fabric with some darker black peppered in.

Looks amazing!
Although I think the best coat they ever made is a black herringbone from Magee with 670gr per sqm weight made in their double brested Oxford cut. Unfortunately this one is cut above the knee too ☹️

I already have a custom Merano with the extended length, so the shorter one is good diversity.

I recently made a custom shirt whereby I was measured by one of their tailors. First result was a shirt that was way too narrow in the waist. The tailor checked the measurements and it was made to the right specifications, but after comparing we saw that the issue basically was that the darts were longer than on my other shirts. This caused that the darts also took in quite some material on the lower side between hips and waist measurement lines, and therefore it was too tight. Enlarging the waist and/or hips measurements for this wouldn’t work according to him, as it would be too roomy around my waist and hips, and still tight in the area between due to the darts. He saw no other way how to adjust this unfortunately. They ordered another shirt with a slightly larger waist, it improved a bit but still it’s not comfortable.

I’ve browsed their website and saw that when filling in the measurements, you also need to fill in the fit. Apparently he choose for extra slim. My thinking was that if I choose another fit, like regular or just slim, perhaps the darts are different and not so ‘aggressive’ between waist and hips.

Does anyone of you know more about this, basically to which extent the choice of type of fit impacts the shirt despite the measurements that you fill in?

I am not sure if the same applies to custom made, but I recently ordered a few shirts in slim and extra slim to test them out. For reference I am tall and quite slim,and ordered all shirts in 40L. The darts on the extra slim were aggressive and WAY too tight, which made the shirt uncomfortable and more than skin tight around the waist. I ended up returning them.

The slim fit on the other hand was not too slim, and fit comfortably with a lot of extra room compared to the extra slim (almost top much in my case...!). I did end up keeping the slim fit shirt.

Maybe worth talking to online CS or another sales rep about this?

I have one custom shirt from SS, and it came out perfect. I started with the 'slim fit' and adjusted my size passport to the measurements I've honed with another MTM company over the years. There are no darts, but I did have to reduce the waist size to the minimum allowable measurement (still 1/4" larger than I'd prefer, but still a good fit)

For reference, I'm 6'0 210 with a slightly muscular build (44 chest, 36 waist, though I have to get SS pants in a 38).

Their off-the-rack slim fit is pretty baggy in the waist, so I have to add a decent dart to them, but then they fit fairly well. Their extra slim are way too tight.

Also for reference, Charles Tyrwhitt's extra slim fits me perfectly. If they had better fabrics and more variety for smart/casual wear, I'd just get most of my shirts from them.

I went in a got fitted for their MTM program. I've chosen a VBC S120 Pure Wool. The product code is 840.601/5730 (Suit Supply shows 270 grams/m2 whereas another distributer shows 240 grams/m2). I selected this fabric over their S110's (10.712/41 and 886.601/5730) due to a price difference of USD$200, $648 vs $848.

I am also opting for a full floating canvas. The sales associate defaulted to 2-ply. But given the option of a 2-ply vs 4-ply, what does it mean? I'm unable to find any details online of what the different layers are and which ones go missing.

While at the store, I liked how a VBC S150 with a full canvas 4-ply draped. I'm leaning towards a 4-ply for my construction too but not sure how it pairs with a VBC S120. They didn't have one available in store for me to examine.

I also welcome feedback regarding my choice of fabric. If it helps, I am located in the SF Peninsula where a heavier coat with insulation is nice but I also sweat in direct sunlight at about 80 degrees F.

Thanks in advance Styleforum!

I have seen Jort wearing it on videos and it looks really nice. Could you share how it looks when you remove the wool lapel?

The 100% camel shirt jacket looks interesting. Anyone who’s tried it?

No experience with the shirt jacket, but I have bought the 100% camel car coat/field jacket. I find the shirt jackets to be a bit overpriced IMO, you can almost buy a blazer or a real outerwear jacket by not paying much more.

Suitsupply needs to restock their Fall/Winter fabrics for suits and jackets in their Custom department. The best looking fabrics sold out quickly.
