I have to disagree with kulata on both points, it doesn't look too tight (maybe a tiny bit) but the length is correct, the sleeves could be shortened.

I think it does look short. I'm sure the back panel doesn't cover the butt area entirely. Then again, in a casual context it might be pulled off fine, I guess.

*speaking of the Hudson, not the Sienna.

The jacket is tight in the chest and is short

Assuming the trousers are where the poster wears them, Kulata is correct. The back should cover the buttocks, and the best analogue of that from the front is that it should extend to where the trouser inseams meet.




The fact that the photo crops out the bottom of the trousers and the feet might be misrepresenting the proportions a bit.

Cheers,

Ac

You guys are overlooking the possibility that he may just need to pull up his pants.

I could have done a better job posing for critique. I'm fairly new to wearing suits and i'm still very much learning. That's why i'm here and i'm grateful to be receiving such wonderful advice from you folks. I put my camera on timer mode and in an attempt to get in the picture in time, my pants did sag a few inches. The jacket does actually cover my butt when i wear my pants at the proper height. I'm definitely calling this suit a keeper. It fits like a glove straight out of the box. Thanks!

Here he states his pants were saggin.

Would the Sienna suit be good for interviews and networking events? Does the soft shoulders and ticket pocket make the suit less conservative?

Yes but the plebs will not notice the difference, and the fact that you are wearing a well fitting suit will put you leagues ahead of your peers.

I got a Lazio as a gift but it is a size off, I think the Washington fits me better (as I have one). Can I do an exchange or return for store credit/another style?

Is it possible for a Napoli suit to be fully canvassed? I swear this purple line napoli suit I picked up feels that way in the lapels and they roll quite nicely: http://us.suitsupply.com/en_US/suits/napoli-grey-plain/P3457I.html

Here was the other one I thrifted: http://us.suitsupply.com/en_US/suits/york-blue-plain/P2529Y.html which fits in the chest/shoulders pretty well but is tight in the waist (I'm a 40 in the Havana, both are 38). Oh well, I could use the money.

@Burgerkong - I'm guessing only if you have a gift receipt, and even then, just maybe. Otherwise folks like me could take these thrifted suits back to SS and swap them for suits that fit, if we were so nefariously inclined.

They have a 30 day return policy. If it was ordered online there should be a pre printed return label in the coffin.
