Even better, make it a 3-piece by adding the vest.

i want to pull the trigger on this but ordering a suit online is so iffy. how will you know how it fits? any advice?

I haven't tried on the Aldridge, only the Ludlow and it was a modern, slimmer fit than J. Crew suits I had tried on in the past.  That I would recommend but it also depends on your body type and preference.

I'd caution that the linked jacket is part of the final sale, no refunds or exchanges so you'd absolutely need to try it on, be sure of what size fits if they have it still.  I don't see that they have the pants anymore, you'd need to try to hunt them down too.

Generaiya recommends that you go to a local J.Crew and try it on yourself, because Generaiya ranges from Size 40-42 depending on the brand and cut of their jackets. Generaiya owns a Ludlow Suit from J.Crew and had to get a 42 and tailor it down to a 41. While for their Tweed Herringbone Sportcoat, Generaiya wears a 40R.

ScarsorScabs is correct. The Ludlow is a more modern, slimmer fit, while the Aldridge is a more classic fit. And it is final sale.

Debut the Wool/Cashmere Polo suit today, warm as a snuggie during the 10 degree day

This is why i love Polo Made in Italy (Corneliani and Caruso) ... best bang for the buck .... soft shoulders, high armholes, great swooping lapels and nice range of fabrics. I'd hem those pants a touch to give a cleaner trouser line.

Nice look Nacho!!



How much would something like this run me, tailored and all that

?

 

[supersaiyan415]

hows lands end? the clothing being fairly cheap and being sold at sears has me iffy about the quality.

 

[juicy j 32]

I'm getting a suit tailored currently. For the jacket I'm having the sides taken in, the sleeves shortened, and also having them narrow the sleeves (tapering them to make it a tighter fit). For the pants I am having them hemmed. The tailor wrote the ticket up to be $61.

fair price. now the key is that hopefully it makes you happy. nothing more fun that tailors getting it right ... nothing worse than tailors getting it wrong.

i've had good experience with them. sizing can be an issue, so i usually buy 2 of each and return one to Sears when they come in. I am somewhere between their medium and large.

This specific pair is

. I tried looking for a nice pair of these last year, but couldn't find nothing. Are these a recent release or what?

EDIT- Found them. Copped. Does anyone know if these run true to size?

Actually like those Timberlands.

Would like to see how they look worn in person. 

 

[ljlukelj]

Also would like to know if they run true to size.

I have a black tommy hilfiger suit that i bought from macys 2+ years ago. The jacket has a blue lining and there are some portions where you can see small blue and white stringy threads coming out on the jacket sleeves and shoulders. I don't really wear the suit that often but it has been tailored perfectly and I don't really want to loose it. Any idea how to save it?
