Ah, they need to fix that...

maybe call a rep for the exact measurements?

They need to kick their webmaster's butt. To have such an important function not work properly for so long is not acceptable.

It's been down for what seems like a couple of weeks now. Anyone know the shoulder measurement of a 40R Lazio by chance?

Does anyone have, or have you seen any of the $399 Napoli fabrics?

Specifically the blue birds eye P3758I. Wondering on the shade of the blue. Let me know if you've seen it.

Thanks!

Is the York replacing the London as the British-inspired cut?

Apparently, the London was simply renamed to York. A London suit from this winter collection now appears as the York on the website.
But the fit from the new collection does suggest they've tweaked it a bit. I guess we'll know once someone reviews it.

Ok guys please tell me how these two fit. I ordered both the Napoli and Sienna in 34R and 36R. The pictures here are 34R each (darker one is Napoli and lighter one is Sienna). I tried on the 36 Napoli jacket and it felt much roomier than the 34 so I didn't bother taking pics. Again this will be used for interviews. I'm thinking the Sienna grey is a better grey than the Napoli which almost feels black. Please excuse the quality of the pics, I did the best I could with a gorrilapod and a 10 sec timer.

Also can someone help me understand if the ends of the shoulders are supposed to be "boxy" like that when I raise up my arms? I'm not too versed in suits as this will be my first one so any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Sienna 34R:

You need to take a long size suit. At Suitsupply they only have 38L ander bigger.

Both jackets just end at the end of my buttcheeks. I agree that the sleeves are a bit short but everything I read in this thread indicated that I should find a jacket that fits well in the shoulders and the chest. The sleeves of the 36R are just a slight bit longer but the jacket feels much roomier in the chest. I'll try it on in a bit and take some more pics for you guys to review.

The sleeves are more than just a bit short. Yes, you should find a jacket that fits well in the shoulders and chest, but if the sleeves are so short that they can't be lengthened it's a futile exercise. Having short sleeves looks just as bad as a jacket that doesn't fit in the shoulders. I'd bring it to a good tailor and ask if they can fix it before cutting of the tags. If they can't, then suitsupply is simply the wrong brand for you. You're not the first who's had issues because of the working buttonholes.

Thanks for the feedback guys, really do appreciate it. I just tried on the 36R Napoli and the sleeves are just as short as the 34R. I'm going to take them back to the store (ordered online) and try on a 38L for giggles and see if that will be workable but I doubt it.

If SS is not for me (which is sad because I really like their suits), which other brands could I consider for a good quality half/full canvassed suit?

In my opinion, there is nothing in the same price bracket that comes even close to Suitsupply. For the extra you'd have to spend to get the next best thing, you might as well talk to Suitsupply about going made-to-measure. Enjoy.

Way ahead of you. Already called and asked questions about their MTM. I'll be going in tomorrow to get measured. They said 4-6 weeks, I'm hoping it's more on the 4 weeks side.
