Thanks for the compliments! Typically with all the work I described... an extra $150-$200...Its worth it for me for the suit to fit like a made to measure garment that I can wear for years to come.. I have owned my average suit over 5 years now and just have to tweak them every couple years... Hope this helps..

I read that you live in Fresno, so SS doesn't charge you tax. So your Napoli Suit is $600 at most. Worth it. If I had a tailor that could do what your does, I'd never need to go MTM or bespoke.

Thats always been my thinking.. even for my more expensive suits that have been around 1k-2500...the total tailoring always comes up to at most $200 so it makes sense because the suit will fit me the way I want it to fit for the most part..

Anyone have experience with the leager? If anyone has one and could post some pics that would be great. Also, the sizing seems small on the site, is there a need to size up?

Did you know that suitsupply MTM isn't that much more expensive than their RTW? Might be worth it to give a try if your store offers it, or have a look at the fabrics they offer to compare pricing.

I honestly have not seen a M2M fit from them that I liked..in my experience with Tailors you have to build a relationship with them where they know how you like things to fit.. it takes a while to get the fit dialed in and a lot of money. and I dont buy enough from SuSu to justify that..my tailors can do almost anything at unbelievable prices so in my mind it does not makes sense to go that route..

Hi Gents - Doing some summer cleaning and up for sale is a grey glen plaid Sienna in 38R. Pants have been hemmed to 32 x 32 and jacket sleeves have been taken out half an inch but other than that the suit is as good as new. Worn it once and then realized my job doesn't need suits. PM me if interested - I'm up for offers.

Have you considered just taking your tailor material for a CMT suit? They obviously do exceptional work!

Yes. But he worked in the M2M program for Armani for over 30 years and is pretty much done with making a suit from scratch (Atleast thats what he told me)..I do see from time to time he will make pants for himself where he mutters to me that he is making the pants as a hobby and to kill time. But at the ripe old age of 64, I dont think he has the energy to make something from scratch. For him it is more economical and easier to alter than to make.

If you can bring in a Napoli and walk out with a suit that looks like that, I don't see a reason to go custom. That's all in at about $700 for a very beautiful suit.

How hard is to care for a pure linen jacket? I feel in the love with the color of this light blue Hudson when I saw it in person.

I have no idea what the upkeep it is for a pure linen jacket/suit though. Will it be nothing but wrinkles and dainty care that I alway shave to get dry-cleaned/pressed almost all the time?

Linen is actually a pretty resilient fabric. Obviously it will wrinkle easily, but it's meant to be casual and that's the point. If you're careful with a steamer or iron, you can press it yourself when it becomes unmanageable (although you have to be careful to not steam it into oblivion). With fused jackets it's a bigger deal because fusible can come apart from the interior of the jacket body. But with a half-canvassed jacket, as SuSu is, you're probably a little safer.

There are still people though who will tell you that steaming a jacket is a huge no-no for any tailored garment.

TBH, a drycleaner is probably the worst option of all of them.

You just have to accept the fact that it is going to wrinkle. You could press it after every wear and that won't change the fact that it will be wrinkled again within a short time wearing in.

You should be a model for SS. I've never seen a SS suit look so good on a person.

Seriously, that looks fly as hell

The leager stretches and I don't think the measurements are realistic. Go with your normal size, and if that is usually tailored slimmer, size down and you will be fine.
I ordered a 42 but could have easily gone with the 40, but ended up tailoring it a bit.
