Does Suit Supply run annual sales?

[Mad Martigan]

Do they run annual sales like most other vendors? IDK if I've seen one advertised. I'd like to strategerize my first MTM suit purchase.

[JBarwick]

They do not run MTM sales. They have an outlet sale a couple times a year where those awesome orange or bold pattern sport coats will be on sale.

[Mad Martigan]

Dammit. Oh well, thanks. Maybe I should ask for SS GC for Christmas.

A good idea would be gift cards and watch Dappered for rumors of the outlet opening in January. Depending on your job/school/access to a computer, I have seen staple items in the Outlet sale but they are likely the last size in stock for that item.

[Mad Martigan]

Outlet wouldn't be doing any MTM suits though, would they?

[Domino]

No. What are you looking to get out of a MTM suit? A lot of the time an OTR suit with some tailoring will do just as well for a fraction of the price.

[Mad Martigan]

Mostly just a jacket that fits well. Pants aren't too difficult even if I have to get them tapered, but there's only so much tailoring you can do to a jacket once its put together. My shoulders are weird and its very difficult for me to find OTR jackets that have a fit that I like. That may be partially due to my inexperience and partially due to the quality that I find in my price range, but either way I would like to step up to a nice suit that provides a better jacket fit. I'm not entirely opposed to trying something OTR, but giving MTM a shot is plan A.

If you are hard to fit, M2M isn't going to work. That's almost a guarantee.

Can you elaborate on the issues and possibly supply pictures? MTM may not work for you either but it really depends on the issues you are seeing.

[Mad Martigan]

Its nothing crazy. One shoulder is lower than the other and a little more narrow than the other. But I'm also broad through the chest and shoulder at 5'8 with a short torso and arms. I can't wear much of a shoulder pad or it looks exactly like I'm wearing a shoulder pad.
