I visited the Chicago location this past weekend and picked up this Lazio Linen Suit (38R) for a wedding I'm attending down in Mississippi:

The linen is soft without feeling flimsy and the lining is thankfully breezier than their typical bemberg. I don't expect the fabric to be overly wrinkled up by the end of the night like with cheaper linen and will look right at home at a summer outdoor wedding.. The pattern is very subtle and can only really be seen closeup which I like. I really really wanted to a linen Soho or Madison DB suit but I had to be honest with myself knowing a year down the road, a DB suit might too much for my tastes. Plus I have athletics which only causes more problems.
The Lazio fits similarly to the Washington but I really wanted a notch lapel suit since I already own two Washingtons (38R). As far as alterations I had pant legs hemmed and slimmed just a tad from the knee down, waist taken in, and had the jacket taken at the center seam in back just slightly. My suit will be ready on Friday. Pics will follow.
Overall I've always had a great experience at Suitsupply. Their London location and Amsterdam Flagship store are awesome. The KEY is the sales reps are very helpful if you are seriously considering buying a suit. But if you're just browsing around then you run the risk of being ignored ha.
PS at the Chicago store, Zach and Jeremy are the only dudes I trust so make sure you see them first.
