What do you fellows think of their shirts? Are they worth the money or you have a better alternative within the price range?

In this case I am very happy with them. I have like six or seven of their shirts and I am very happey with the price-quality ratio... Can't say the same with sweaters, just like I said before, but with its shirts, I am satisfied.

I have one of their Blue line, which I very like, cut-wise and quality-wise. Haven't tried their Purple or Red line, but I'm eager to do so!

I agree that there is not a lot of review of their shirts. Kamakura would seem to be the main competitor in the price range!

Thanks guys. Based on online photos the Kamakura shirts do look a bit more "professional" IMO, though importing them from the USA or Japan to Europe would be a nightmare with all the custom/tax/shipping fees. So I will give a SS a try.

The Washington isn't just very slim, but it's length makes it stand out from the other fits. It's pretty much like a "semi long size". It's in the length of the jacket, sleeves as well as the height of the rise.

This is true. However, the Washington Half is cut much shorter than the regular Washington.

This is untrue. I live in Europe and ordered 2 shirts one year ago and with all the fees they came to about 75€ per shirt.

But anyway, SS do have nice shirts. I would avoid the cheapest shirts, but anything from there has a nice price-quality ratio.

Anyone have IRL pics of the plain blue Hudson in hemp/wool?

X-post from Noodles advice thread. Pretty happy with my new Hudson. Still, I'd like some opinions from the heavy-hitters. Thoughts?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Sleeves and pants need shortening and maybe thinking of taking in the waist a tad.

Agree with your assesment. Looks good.

I think it looks great too. You should be able to take in the waist minimally. I wouldn't over do it though.

Guys, I contacted SS help to ask them how much the waist of a particular Lazio trouser could be let out, and received the following response:

"The waistband of the pants can be taken 6 centimeters but please be informed that we can tailor the basin only 2 centimeters wider."​

Any idea what is meant by "the basin" in this context?

Thanks.

Cheers,

Ac

It's basically the "seat" and down into the backside of the crotch of the pants. SuSu suits come with a ton of extra tolerance in the waistband, but almost no fabric down into the seat.

What is everyone's opinion in buying a 'NWT' Lazio from Ebay? It seems to be about 200 bucks off retail.

If you have your size nailed down in a Lazio and you like the suit, I don't see a problem. If you're referring to the stipe flannel three piece, they're accepting best offer. I'd come in at $300 and in the message say something like "I normally see new suitsupply suits going for about $300. I think this is fair." That was you can see how flexible they are. If they come back at say $350, I'd come in at $325 and put a note that says best and final. If they come in at like $375 I'd do the same thing at like $350 if the suits worth that to me.

Ah. This is the tie I am referring to!

Tie is Drakes.

I decided to keep the suit and its with my tailor until Friday. He seemed to think he could fix it without too much drama. Interested to see the results!

The Copenhagen is actually slimmer.

I stand corrected. The salesmen in New York always say the Washington is the slimmest model, but that may be because they don’t have many Copenhagens in stock. At least I’ve never seen one.
