Hi, I was looking into getting a SS suit and tried one (Lazio size 50) on but felt like the jacket was to long (I'm 5' 9'') for me, despite beeing to tight in the neck area.
Now I ordered the Napoli fit in the same size, the website recommended the normal length this time around.
The windowpane lazio doesn't say that it is flannel, but it looks like it has to be.

I don't think you need a different size, the suit looks like it's the right size. Your right arm looks to hang lower than your left. If showing a little more shirt cuff on the right vs. the left is okay with you, then I think the sleeve length is fine. There is a little bit of roll in the fabric in the back of the neck. That can be removed with an alteration, however I don't think it's one that absolutely needs to be done. If you don't like the appearance it can be done, if it doesn't bother you I think you're fine.
Overall the suit fits well, 46L is a good size for you!
As far as removing the base stitching from the jacket, that shouldn't make much if any difference in the silhouette of the jacket.
I'm worried that the jacket may be a little too loose around the waist. I was hoping for a more tailored look from the front. Is this possible?
I tried one on in the Georgetown store (must've been an online return, as it was the only one in the store), I'm pretty sure it wasn't flannel but did have a rougher hand, so not a smooth wool.
In general, I think flannel would be a poor choice for anyone who lives somewhere that's warm year-round. It would likely see minimal wear.
I was looking for a blue jacket to pair with some dark blue trousers. I went to Woodbury Commons in NY and looked around but didn't find anything I liked. I did see a nice Zegna jacket for $1700 (price after sale) and while the material was very nice, it looked like it would need some alterations. Stopped by Canali and Brioni but nothing really worked for me. Having heard about SuitSupply on this forum, I decided to head to the city and went to the SoHo location. My observations:
- Definitely a "style" vibe but nothing that felt over the top - these are suits/jackets I would wear (and I am in my mid-40's)
- Surprisingly wide variety of clothing - I looked primarily at jackets and suits (no opinion on pants, shirts, ties, etc.)
- The cut is perfect for my body type - I am on the lean side so "typical" suits need a lot of taking in but very little adjustments needed with the SuitSupply suits
- Knowledgeable salespeople but it does pay to go when they are less busy
- I told the salesperson "I want a single breasted, notch lapel...and am overwhelmed by the various choice's/styles" - he sized me up and very confidently picked out the Lazio and Siena
- I tried them both - they fit really well for me and I would buy them without hesitating
- The La Spalla looked and felt really nice - I would personally pick that over buying the Lazio/Siena...assuming I needed only one suit
- I ended up picking up the blue Havana jacket - really like the style and cut and it worked will with the trousers I have
Interestingly, I took the Havana along with a couple of other jackets to my tailor for alterations. He was very impressed by the Havana - both the fit and the finish (even before I told him the price). In the end it didn't look like any alteration was needed (I might take it back to let the sleeves out a 1/4").
So overall, very impressed and pleased with SuitSupply. I may give Knot Standard, Oliver Wicks, and Thick as Thieves a look if I decide to go the MTM route.
Thanks on the comment regarding Kent Wang. Will take a look.
