What Happened to 39S RTW?

[mensimageconsultant]

Just tentatively finished a report for an alleged 39S. Frustrationg fit issues, including not being able to locate any decent-looking, reasonably-priced 39S suits or sportcoats. (Fortunately, there was no need for theml) Brooks Brothers and Paul Stuart used to make them, apparently. Is nobody mass-producing 39S for under $1000 now?

So it's true that nobody makes a wide selection of low or mid-priced size 39S anymore? Which would be strange, considering that men want more precise fits than 10-15 years ago and that weight-lifting has become widespread.

39" is 50EU. Okay the S makes it less common but 50 is one of the most common EU size. Everything from very low end stuff on up.

That translates to 40, not 39.

 

[Nicola]

No it doesn't. It translates to 100cm which is 39.37"

If 39 is 50 EU then what is 40? 52 EU? In my experience 39 has no actual EU sizing and 40 = 50 EU. Feel free to correct if I'm wrong. The size label is always misleading anyway. Only the measurements matter.

 

[Nicola]

No all the EU sizes are in cm. There is nothing in inches. A 52 is 104cm. Why would they have inches?

I don't know this for a fact but I'm guessing they are doing it to try and keep it a standard 2 between sizes like 38-40 or 48-50. Its true that men want more precise fits than 10-15 years ago but the market that would require an in between size is probably too small for them to go into/stay in, besides i think the size gap between a 38 and a 40 is small enough that you would be able to to alter down a 40 to fit a 39. If not you could always look at other brands for example a size 38 in brooks brothers is not the same as a size 38 in RLBL.

I am currently around 39S as well

I think I either have to gain some weight to move to 40 or lose more to get to 38
