Thom Browne question.

[Rome]

I would like to know from people who own Thom Browne pieces or who have tried them on what the sizes correspond to. I wear a 40 R/L suit with a 42" chest (dear god its me Margaret) and cannot make it to a place that carries his pieces to find out for myself. I understand the polarity concerning TB and assure you I have no intention of trolling. Any help would be kindly appreciated.

Thanks.

A 40R is usually just about right for me, though it can be too short. I tried on a 40R Thom Browne which fit me perfectly on the torso (I mean, this thing was awesome through the body, ******* mod as hell) but the sleeves and bottom were just too damn short. Not just "ooh, he's showing quite a bit of cuff" short but "I'M WEARING THOM BROWNE" short. So, I tried on a 42R, which had the right length, but the chest/waist fit like an Oxxford, which defeats the whole purpose of the thing.

Depending on how far on the L side of the R/L divide you are, you may experience the same or worse. I don't know how much there is to be let out, but unless there's a lot, then you're going to have a very, very short jacket.

1 = 36, 2 = 38, 3 = 40, 4 = 42 if I remember correctly. This is what you were asking, right?

My size 2 suit translates to a 38, or a really tight fitting 40

I had the same experience. The jacket fit great, but was way too short!
