@PinkPantser Thanks. IIRC the last time they made this it was model C540ae which used Angelico Hopsack rather than VBC, correct?

Does SuSu post detailed measurements of their pants online? I tried on some LaSpalla size 32 and they fit decent. Can these pant be had separate? Do they carry something with similar fit?

So everyone is saying the Hudson lapels are too wide on a smaller body. I'm only a bit above 5'6 weighing around 140 and this is a 34r Wool/Cotton Navy Hudson and I personally like the wider lapels .

Looks good to me. They look very similar in width to the lapels on my 34R Lazio.

I feel the same, they look similar to me as well. I just can't wear the Lazio because the fit causes shoulder divots for some reason, though there is a little divot in this picture but it's caused by my arm being at a weird angle. I personally prefer this width lapel over the Havana lapels.

I'm about to pull the trigger on the wool/cotton plain blue Hudson. How is the feel of the cloth? More on the wool side or cotton side? And how is the drape?

It definitely is not as soft as 100% wool. You can tell it's a cotton/wool mix is the best way to describe it, but not a bad thing. The suit does wrinkle a bit more being cotton but the wool mix does help it drape over the body a bit better than a 100% cotton suit. Obviously my pure wool Jort fit drapes far better but it was made to with extra room in the arms and chest and the luxurious soft fabric used. But it's twice the price as the Hudson, which is just a slimmer fit with the same amount of room in the shoulders, and I personally like that about the Hudson. I think the best detail about the wool mix though is that it seems to give the suit a bit more of a formal look with a slight shine than a plain cotton suit has. It's hard to capture in picture because a lot of them make the suit look dull because of the low resolution camera, but I definitely think the suit is a keeper just because I like the Hudson fit so much and the cotton/wool mix isn't a turn off for me. It just adds some more character to my wardrobe.

Very tempted by the 3 piece navy blue/yellow stripe Hudson.

Anybody taken the plunge?

Looks good, wishing they have more Soho fits in their F/W 15 lineup than they did last time, much better balance than the Madison fit (for me at least).

Also, is this the same one?

To answer your question, no I don't think that is the same Soho. I found it at the shop in shop in Dallas as part of S/S'15 but haven't seen it online. I actually decided not to keep it because the hopsack was a bit stiff. I like more flow and drape. I hope to see more Soho fits as well.
