Has anyone seen in real life their new double-breasted 6x1 fit?

 

[jensencastro]

Need help on buying my first suit on a budget this year for a wedding later this year.

The least expensive fabric that I'm eyeing in CMS is the Navy Pure Tropical Wool from VBC (595.201/8). Was wondering how this compares to SuSu's Pure Wool offerings that's also from VBC. I live in the Philippines, hot and humid, so I guess it kinda made sense for me to pick a fabric that has the name "Tropical" in it? And plus the fact that it's the cheapest option. Totaled at $498 w/o shipping.

A photo of an actual suit made w/ the Navy Pure Tropical Wool would also be much appreciated. Cheers!

Tropical wool is lighter woven more loosely than standard wool, which allows for much better breathability. It does have a somewhat coarser texture, unless you get one woven as an S120. But that's a more significant upcharge for about $738 before shipping, which is above budget tier. Having seen both tropicals from VBC in store, the S120s does have a somewhat looser weave which could be better suited to an outdoor wedding. If the wedding is mostly indoors (hopefully with some A/C), the standard tropical should be ok.

I can try and post photos tomorrow to show the difference

Thanks for the reply and added info! I'd love to get the 120 Tropicals but like you said it is a significant upcharge.

Is it significantly coarser or negligible? I could compromise for a premade standard navy VBC wool that SuSu's already offering but not sure which one to pick yet. This is in part because I haven't seen the Navy VBC Tropicals in photos to compare color/shade.

Was eyeing for a navy shade exactly like this one, but this is $999 ?

A photo of the fabric would really help out, cheers man!

Not to derail this thread but SF affiliate vendor Cavour currently has a 50% sale on. You can pick up a full canvas hightwist jacket and trousers for 440€.

Does the $10 upcharge for custom made suit buttons imply horn or MOP buttons (even if not explicitly labeled as such)?

Is it just me or is anyone else tired of this guy (the clothing model)?

I tried a few different SuitSupply suits in different sizes and can't seem to decide whether the 34R (Lazio light blue) or 36R (Lazio Navy) jacket fits better. Both trousers seem tight. Any feedback?

How about that summer outlet sale that never came?

Not saying there will be one, but in 2019 for example, the outlet started on July 22. In 2018, I got an email about it on July 17.

 

[knittieguy]

I think the 36 r jacket looks better

Yeah, it's "generally" in the 20s of July. It usually ends by about the 25th of July, and in the beginning of August (1-2 weeks after outlet closes) the fall season pieces start appearing in the early preview of fall / winter campaign

Quick snap of the linen brown single pleat shorts. Quite happy with them. Got my usual 38

It seems like their EU sale webpage is under service and requires a new password/username to access it. This could mean that a private sale is in the pipeline.
