I ordered SuitSupply's Grey Herringbone Suit via the website and it arrived today. I thought that other threads members might appreciate a quick first impression of the suit.
SuitSupply ships its suits in large boxes that resemble tombstones.
Upon opening the box you are presented with the suit protected by a large piece of cardboard and a suit bag. The bag is a thick blue canvas. The sleeves of the suit are stuffed with padding paper to preserve the shape, and they're wrapped with the same paper to keep the suit clean. A catalog, invoice, and prepaid return shipping label are included under the cardboard layer.
I ordered a 38R and the jacket fit me extremely well out of the box. The sleeves are roughly half an inch too short.
I've concluded that it's impossible to take a good picture of one's own back. There's some slight oddness due to the vents still being sewn shut.
The pants fit less well. They're a traditional loose taper. I will have them slimmed and hemmed.
The fabric is of a surprisingly high quality. I did not expect it to be so nice. It's a very dark business-appropriate grey herringbone weave. I've included some close-up shots of the fabric. Unfortunately, my camera was not able to preserve the color at such a close shot. It's much darker in person.
Finally, hanging in the bag.
