I wear size 34.
I plan on lifting weights and gaining about 8 more pounds of super lean muscle.
When that happens, can these jackets be let out an inch or 2?

The Havana for sure; that color will serve you well for many years to come. The Sienna is a steal in terms of price, yes, but that isn't a conventional enough choice for blazer to be used for building a wardrobe.

Regarding the size... tough to say. It depends on how you currently fit into the size you order as well as much larger (and where, of course) the additional muscle impacts you.

What makes it unconventional; the ticket pocket or color? Both?

Do you know if both of these jackets are half canvassed?

Siennas have flap pockets. Most on sf prefer patch pockets on their sport coats. Also, siennas normally have fabrics that are obvious suit fabrics, smooth with some sheen. Havanas normally have more casual fabric which works well for sport coats.

Hi guys,

Figured I would ask for some advice, before going through the hassle of buying and returning more SuSu suits - I can't try them on at a store either, as nothing has opened up in Australia yet.

So, I've been wearing Napoli's for 2-3 years now and they fit me almost perfectly - Size 44, if I'm picky I would take the sleeves up 0.5 inches.

My only issue is I have so many Napoli's in my rotation, I'm looking for something different to change things up. I've already tried to order the Havana separates a few times, but can't seem to get the sizing right (44 is too small, 23S is too large... going to order a 46 depending on feedback on here. I'm also quite interested in a Hudson I saw, but presumably I would have to go for a 46 in that too. Reason I like the two options, is because I've been looking for a suit with patch pockets for a while.

So ignoring the ramble above, is there any alternative to the Napoli in the SuSu line up? Short answer seems to be no, but happy to hear any thoughts (also ordered a York, which I returned, was reasonable, but the Napoli fits like a glove).

Note: my biggest issue is probably sleeve length, I'm not a particularly tall Asian (173cm) so the shorter sleeves are optimal. I also typically need a fairly big drop on the suits (7), which is why the Napoli has traditionally served me well.

Also not sure if this is Australia specific, but there is now a "premium packaging" option and a small box option - I always liked the tombstone boxes I received from SuSu, now it seems like I need to pay if I don't want the suits folded during shipping :(

Wool chalk stripe is great for working on engines, doing some machining, or even in the boiler room!

What a steal too, just 400EUR.

What are everyone's opinions of the new jort line? Kind of boring in my opinion. Not that I wouldn't wear any of them, just nothing really gets me revved up.

I feel the same way. Nothing exciting coming from the sports coat or suits.
