I have exactly the same. The bleecker model (the blue DB coat) has slightly more room in these areas and fits me perfectly. Also that fabric is lighter compared to the camel coat so it is a bit more forgiving. I don't want to spend additional money on tailoring the camel coat to get it right if possible at all. Small guys with a slim waistline move to the front and buy the coat from me or I'll return it to the store shortly!
I ordered a size bigger for the Lavello fit, and the coat just arrived. It is the brown, herringbone, wool/cashmere one, seeing as the camel one wasn't in stock in a bigger size anymore. This one fits nice I think, so sizing up works.

I really liked suistudios cloths. Would not mind women dressing like this. The add campaign is more of a ironical homage to SuSu's earlier adds where focus was on women being somewhat sexualised for no apparent reason.

Interested to see some real life photos of the brown if you get a chance.

My db camel coat arrived today, quality seems good, colour is not too bright as it comes off in some of the Web pics.

Looking forward to getting it home and trying it on, seeing how it goes with grey and Navy suits.

Picture please, I am thinking of ordering one myself

I'll try to take and PM you some pics tomorrow, or wednesday.
Here they are:

It's kind of a mix between the first pic (darker) and second pic (lighter). Kind of brown with greyish tints.

Can anyone chime in on Suitsupply overcoats? Quality, fit, how light or heavy they are? Thanks in advance.

I personally like their overcoats. Like their jackets, fabric material is high quality. The fit seems a little on the slim side but that works for me. Others on this forum, however, feel that their overcoats are a bit on the short side. But that's a matter of preference I suppose.

I really like suitsupply overcoats as well, I own a pure wool one and plan to pick up a second one soon. I think the quality is pretty good for the price, but the pure cashmere coats are a bit pricey for my taste and it'll be harder to maintain so I probably wouldn't get those. Fit is excellent and no alternations are needed for me at all and I, personally buy the same size as my suit size. As far as how light or heavy the coat is, some have complained that it is too light and it does feel a bit on the lighter side when compared to my Jcrew overcoats.

I'd only get their overcoats if I know the mill where the materials come from. This way, you are guaranteed to get good quality material but as always- fit is questionable....with some models.

Do all shirts come with genuine mother of pearls buttons or just the more expensive ones?
