I take no offense! After all, I am Italian

Yes I agree! However, I already have two dark blue stripe suits so I decided it was time for a change!

Looks great. What shirt is that?

I don't think we'll be seeing any more of the outlet for this year. It was a full blow back in March.

Does anyone know how SS comes up with the measurements on their website?

I was browsing it just now and happened to see that they list a chest measurement of 48.4" for the Jort in 46R. This seems a little off to me just based on feel so I pulled my Jort out and measured the chest. At MOST, the chest measures a little over 23" across, meaning maybe a bit over 46 around. Just to be sure I measured my Lazio/Hudson too and got the same result vs the website. There is no way I could pull or stretch the jacket to get anywhere close to 48" with the button done up. Does this seem right?

Just to be sure I measured the BOC, which seems to be about right as per the website, so I know my tape measure isn't off by 2".

I have also found my Havana jackets to be shorter than what's listed on the website.

Thanks! It's the navy blue linen shirt from the last Suitsupply outlet.

Navy S130 VBC Custom Made Order is here!!!! This is the same specs as the gray one I posted previously, only with lightly padded Lazio-Style shoulder instead of structured Washington-style shoulder. This one is also full canvas instead of half canvas.

Thoughts on fit? Any suggestions on alterations I should have done?

Wow the fabric is soft and light (I’ve never had a S130 garment) - a different ball game from the S110 for sure. Quite a different and noticeable feel.

Here is a link to an album with both the navy and grey (navy pics below as well):

Looks good! Are those five buttons on the sleeve? I’m ambivalent about that many buttons—that’s the only thing, but it’s super super personal preference and does not detract from the aesthetic of the suit.

The lighting is probably artificially causing it to look more black than blue. But having seen swatches of that fabric, I know its definitely more blue than that.

I’ll let the suit experts chime in, but maybe (maybe) it’s slightly tight around the waist or the hips? This might be the tag causing a optical allusion, certainly for the waist. But definitely looks good.

Yessir! 5 buttons on the sleeve per Elliott (SA)’s recommendation so I went with it. Not sure my opinion on it yet but I do sort of like that it’s different. Haha.

And yes, the lighting and terrible mirror angle make it look much darker than it is - although yes, it is a deep dark navy blue.

Thanks!!

For sure! With 5 buttons, it’s a sign of custom. How much did the S130 with full canvas end up costing?

I also like the lapel width. That’s the standard lapel, right?

Just went through the new (?) customisation tool, and that would be 400 euros.

Many great options! Just lacking variety of fabrics but waiting for fall so there's still time.

Edit: was complaining about being unable to find some of these options on the UK configurator, but have just found it (it is well tucked away, mind!)

On cost - get ready for it - you might recall from earlier in the thread there were a few days where they were running and insane sale on S130 fabrics. Base price - $399 + $100 to upgrade to full canvas.

Lapel width - yessir! Normal lapel width. I measured them at 3.5".

Whoa! $500 for a full canvas?! And an S130 at that. That can't be beat!

Hey all, could I get your advice on the fit of this suit? This is one I’ve had for years. Bonobos Jetsetter suit. I believe it is half canvassed. Insanely comfortable.

It looks black in the pic (and to my co workers’ eyes) but it’s actually a verrrrrrrrrrry dark charcoal.

As I’ve been looking at and enjoying my SuSu purchases, I’ve been looking at the rest of my wardrobe. This one is obviously slimmer and the lapels are right at 3”. It’s also about an inch shorter than the Custom Mades, but that’s quite hard to see in this photo.

I’m curious how you think this style/fit might last. It’s been my funeral/presenting at conference type of suit for a few years; I’m wondering if it will be long-lasting in terms of fit in style, or if I should start thinking about replacing it for my next suit purchase

Thanks as always!
