I tried contacting SS support but didn't get a response (they are usually pretty quick to reply)..

@SpitShine Out of interest, how did you determine that custom jackets default to the 2-layer now? I can see they've removed the choice between 2 and 4 layer but it's not clear to me which it defaults to now.

Personal preference of course, but I ordered the 2-layer for the first time on my last jacket (full canvas) and have to say I don't like it as much as the 4-layer..

I contacted customer support and got this reponse:

"We removed the 3 button option on November 7th, and for the disappointment that may cause you, we apologize. In regards to the canvas, we can confirm that the half canvas is the same as the 2-layer light, we have since removed the 4-layer option."

Hey guys what are the differences between the Braddon, Vigo, and Brescia pants? Stick with the same waist size?

They also recently removed the narrow lapel option in their custom suit order options. I emailed them and they confirmed they will no longer offer it. It's too bad cause I recently ordered a custom suit for the first time, and it turned out well.

Narrow lapels are just a fashion fad. I once asked my sales rep if anyone one was ordering narrow lapels with their MTM order and he could recall only one guy.

How do SUITSUPPLY winter coats fit? Also, can you alter them as in widening ?
Would appreciate a reply
If you do the “custom made” route with them, you can add room in different places. I just had them add 3-4 cm across the chest for a DB overcoat from them that fit well everywhere else when worn over a jacket/suit. I’m sure there must be SOME inlay for alteration if you buy off the rack and have them or someone else alter it, but I haven’t done that so can’t comment.

The fit really depends on the model. Most of them are very slim and you might need to go two sizes up and take them in in some places.
However they have a regular fitting coats - new polo and belted coats
There's fabric reserves in all seams so you can usually let them out by ~2 cm each

Good point. I didn’t have to size up in the balmaccan I got, but that’s meant to be a looser fit and I won’t really wear it over a jacket, just a sweater The DB I got had to be sized up plus added more space since it will go over a jacket.

Would you suggest sizing up two in the Merano polo coat?

So, regarding the custom garments - are there any "hacks" to alter the button stance?

I assume that the long models will have a longer button stance, while the short models will have a higher button stance - so let's say that you wear regular length coat, but want a lower button stance, would it work to pick a long jacket, and then just modify the measurements to match a regular jacket? Or will the pocket placement also get screwed up (as they should also be a bit lower on long models)?
