Very nice. I have a Washington fit suit I plan to wear for the first time this weekend. I believe it also has 1.75 inch cuffs. Viva SuitSupply!

Thank you! This must be one of the heavier wool fabrics that SS uses. The cuffs are 1.75 inches.

My shoulders are bigger than most people at 5'10. So I'm stuck with only the Napoli. Wish I could try the others!

Mind if I ask what your shoulders measure? And what you commonly choose to alter through tailoring? (If your suits don't fit off the rack).

That is one of my few gripes with suitsupply: at 6'0 there is not enough material for cuffs in my size...Looks great CP

Sure! I strength train and play basketball, so my shoulders are bigger, while my body is still lean for the most part. SS usually recommends you size down one, but it doesn't work for me.

Shoulders are 19'' exact. Generally when I get the Napoli tailored, I take a bit off the sleeve length, hem the pants along with taking in the waist area.

I'm also 5'10 with 19 inch shoulder measurement and the 52 la Spalla fit was spot on when I tried it.

Suitsupply S/S 2014 Sneak Peek.

Interesting, though nothing specific there I want. But I am now hyped for the full SS S/S collection!

isn't the jort identical to the la spalla, which is available in the usa?

There seems to be quite a bit of misconceptions about the Jort/La Spalla on here. What the model La Spalla is called now used to be called "Jort". The "old" Jort has been renamed to La Spalla, so what is called Jort now could be introduced as a complete separate collection (including shirts, outerwear, trousers etc.)

The NEW Jort (line) suits and the La Spalla are similar in the quality of wool and fit (afaik), but the features are slightly different. New Jort has patch pockets, cuffs, no belt loops and are 2 button. La Spalla has flap pockets, no cuffs, belt loops and are 2.5 button.

Well, this isn't quite true. Jort is a whole new line of SS stuff from suits to suspenders. The quality and price is higher than their other lines. The single breasted Jort suits are 2,5 buttton just like the la spalla but without flaps and belt loops.

...that's exactly what I said. It's a complete separate collection including multiple other items. Prices are identical in Europe (€699, except for the 3-piece, obviously), and the cloths used are very comparable. Actually, La Spalla is made of S150s cloth, and the new Jort suits are S140.

They feel very similar on the body. Similar wool, same shoulders, save (full-) canvassing, same higher waistband.

Sorry if I misread your post. Anyway, there are more Jort cuts than la Spalla cuts ( only the one if i remember correctly) But qualitywise they are probably more or less on par. I love my Jort for what it's worth

No problem. They are great bang for the buck suits. A part of the misconception (which I forgot to mention) is that many (what we now call) La Spalla suits are still hanging in stores as (old) Jort suits, even with a hanger saying "Jort". Doesn't make it much easier!

Found a lovely coffin waiting for me when I got home. Possible concern with the upper back or does it just need to be smoothed out? Sleeves will need to be shortened a bit as expected.

I got two more Suit Supply shirts in the mail today. I already had two of the $79 ones and they are very premium. The fabric is nice and thick. I have one of the $129 Cottonificio Albini sport shirts that I really like. Today I got one of the $99 Turkish Soktas shirts, it was very nice. But I also got a $129 Cottonificio Albini pink dress shirt and it is shockingly thin. When I put it on, it basically becomes completely transparent. I'm afraid I'll rip it if I actually wore it. It is the first thing from suitsupply i didn't like. I plan to send it back.

I usually associate high end dress shirts with nice thick fabric. Is it normal for a shirt like this to be so thin. It is literally the thinnest dress shirt I have ever felt.

I picked up a pair of driving gloves while at the Midtown NYC store. Very nice indeed.
