Suiting for big boys
So, I have basically totalled my nice suit by destroying the pants, but even before that I wasn't completely in love with it. My problem is that I'd love to have a suit that's roomy and wide. No more slim fit suiting for me. Every single suit I try on at second hand stores don't fit me thanks to my honkin 21" shoulders which is a bit annoying but we cringe on.
For inspo I look to vintage Armani suiting with the huge shoulders and very drapey pants.
So far SFC seems like the best bet, but I would love to get some more options.
Also looking for linen suiting options, which SFC covers, but I'd love to get a good summer jacket as well as more traditional suiting.
Suit supply is ass right? I know they at least do custom so I could probably get what I want, but I'd rather just pay the money to SFC directly.
A bit of inspo included.
Oh for budget I don't care really, but I'd love it to be in the 1k CAD price range. But show me your worst and one day maybe I'll just buy it.

tbh this could be a spot for TRR suiting section
TRR is going to fucking kill me tho
perhaps
trr, ebay
sfc
super hit or miss and idk if it's available in canada and you literally have to drag them by the nose to giving you the thing you want but suitsupply has been good enough to me
yeah i mean actual vintage armani kinda goated
weeg wears a lot of vtg armani
if that helps
The only reason I bring up suit supply is because my buddy got a beautiful custom double breasted for his wedding from them
And I went oh fuck
So suit supply may be the call for more traditional suiting, and SFC for linen
is the 21" shoulder coming from a jacket you own that fits
susu has a LOT of mid rise, slim taper suits
i argued w the SA for fully like
30 minutes before she basically gave up
and then i pointed at the suit i wanted and she was like 'oh yeah i guess we do have a wide leg high rise trouser'
How tf do you measure suiting shoulders
take a jacket you own that fits and do seam to seam
Because 21" is like my normal clothing measurement, but I never see it in suiting
preferably one with structured shoulders like your current suit jacket
https://www.therealreal.com/products/men/clothing/suiting/needles-two-piece-pn88d :xd: on the other hand
trr calls this suiting... I
Hmmmm it's looking like 19 inches seem to seem
ok yeah so like 20~21 for the big oversized stuff
thats about where I fall my slim jacket is 19ish but i like 20+
whats your normal chest mesuremnts
and waist
36 waist, just measure my chest probably like 42 inch
https://www.therealreal.com/products/men/clothing/suiting/comme-des-garcons-homme-plus-vintage-wool-two-piece-suit-p9lkn tbh i love this but you would need to bully trr into re measuring the pants beacuse its fucked
LMAO
46?????
its got 2
one is 46
one is 23
one is jacket waist one is pants who tf knows
Is this what y'all normally deal with with TRR
yes

trr has quite a few good jackets
the problem is suits
that 3rd link is kind the goat
and if im right basicaly spot on your size
Holy shit it is
No pants included right?
no
and i looked they arent elsewhere
Frick
How hard would it be to find these pants
Because honestly, the price is extremely right even if I get railed on duty
https://www.therealreal.com/products/men/clothing/pants/giorgio-armani-virgin-wool-dress-pants-ptexc
I don't think they match unfortunately

tbh im guessing it didnt get sent to trr as a set
this is a set
Yea I don't think so either. I'd love to buy that jacket but I think I'd be searching for the pants for the rest of my life
Like, how bad of an idea is it to buy that jacket and search for other pants? Bad right?
Hmmmm now that I'm looking I think TRR is the place to be
it can be
ebay has lots of vintage suiting as well
Yea I need to spend more time on ebay as well, but I remember struggling a bit more to find stuff there
trr is far more searchable for sure
IS IT
Yeah searching for pants is rough
I’d maybe cop the jacket because it’s a sick ass blazer
But
It really is, but derek will come shoot me in the face because I don't have the matching pants
Like I can't just wear other pants with it right
i dont think it would be a good idea to wear it with other pants
maybe like a navy trouser but i dont think it would be worth the gamble
Yea that's what I was thinking
SAD
Yeah heckle is right, navy or maybe black
Can be worn easier without matching
Yea I was thinking black
For 70CAD it could be worth the gamble, but it's tough
I think it’s gonna look out of place over black pants
maybe like a soft off black type thing
as their newest shill, id just do sfc unless you have a deep love of digging for shit online
If I am being real, I would probably rather shell out for SFC instead of digging, but I will do some digging
I still desire vintage Armani
@heckle are there any places around us that you look for second hand suiting?
nah I’m an online warrior mostly
but luckily for me my lil shoulders fit the biggest JP sizes
You could always hit up some local menswear store and see what kind of cuts they have, somewhere that carries Samuelsohn or Coppley
But looking at their websites I’d say chance of success is low even though they do mtm
Ooooohhhh good call
I can absolutely go check those places out
I'm used to failure anyways at this point
My dumbass trying every single blazer on at VSP and not finding a single one that even came close to fitting
coppley definitely had wider cuts when slim fit was at its peak, so now that wide is at its peak they probably make 100% slim cuts
I have NOT read the thread but my recs are ebay, trr, etc. for vintage armani and similar. There's quite a bit of it around tho I'm unsure about Canada specifically. SuSu has better cuts these days but nothing that's really going to hit the Armani/SFC vibes
If you’re ever in NYC, I’ve heard Ebreo Vintage specializes in vintage Italian suits
https://www.therealreal.com/products/men/clothing/suiting/giorgio-armani-two-piece-suit-ppyd0 @Gazoo this could be decent one shot option
its not the best best cut of jacket
Yea I did see this, didn't spark much joy
:nooooo:
Don't love the cut, salivating over SFC
Holy shit
the 3 button is rare
the 4 button
idk even
it got the long long arms
THE LONG WAY

for the low cost of 5100 usd:
It looks so so so so good though
the DB from pic 4 of this post is long gone (3 seasons old) or id have dropped that in here
in theory you would just about fit into this suit from sacai
Still extremely cool and good inspo
Thank you!
and i can only hope knowing you're a size 4 in their suiting comes in handy
Exactly, it does
however as some members of this server will attest the real issue is they mostly make their suiting in 1-3 because they are not good people
Sacai wishes for me to die specifically
but places will stock the 4 once in awhile
hey me too man (because i need a 0 in their pants)
Pants might be a bit tougher, the measurements don't look like they fit
ssense fucked up those measurements like crazy i think
not sure why they have a chest measurement
Actually I could do a 35 now that I look again
yeah i think this is correct
Yea
but this is wrong
Ssense.....
especially because the model should be wearing a 1 given the measuring of the pants they did and and not a 3
yeah if it wasnt 3x the budget id be banging on ur windows rn telling you to buy it
i can drop more inspo in here if u want sacai just occured to me because they make clothes that would actually fit sometimes
Hmmmmm, yea sure why not
Show me the fruit I cannot touch
And also, I really appreciate the help here
Fuck there’s one non suit
Eh whatever I’m not redoing this again
Whatever, still inspo
If the influence of that one jpg look shows up in your waywts I’d be overjoyed
I'll do my best :salute:

Chill little 8.5k
Light work honestly

LIGHT WORK
I wonder if Syndey's has adapted to wider fits because that was always a good suit spot in Toronto
but I think he might still be slim-pilled
(also maybe too spendy, idk)
Another good Toronto shout
I feel like with sfc, at least I can wear the pants too normally
And I would
So it makes the price tag better
But I still may grab that trr Armani jacket
70$ is crazy work for that
:xd: good I was too scared then goodwill blessed me with the same thing but in black
Witch tbh eBay may have :discourse:
Just have a suit w your measurements spawn at my goodwill for ten dollars
So far this method is 100% effective
:xd:
IT'S NOT FAIR
kinda good

eBay
MANI By GIORGIO ARMANI 48L Made In ITALY Wool Suit 40x31 Pants | eBay
Great condition vintage Mani by Giorgio Armani suit gray color. Made in Italy high quality suit Includes jacket and pants Tag says 46 L jacket, 46 / 40 pants Italian sizes should equal 40x31 USA size 48L USA jacket size
Holy shit
yeag that one also has real sizing
46" chest is probably fine right
Might not be suuuuper roomy
Unless I am wrong
If a 20in shoulder isn’t spooky you should be fine tbh
imo yeah, this is a 46 im a 44chest
Ok so probably perfect
yeah works closed as well
Yea but the shoulders on my suit were 18"
Or 19
Ok this could legitimately be the play
300$ is probably the right price too
Wait the full suit is there? Yeah you’re buying this
What’s ur inseam
yeah inseam in the only mildly off one here
yeah i mean im assuming you are a kinda close size to me and my slim fit blazer is about that ~19 and the one i posted is 20
Might have to teach Noah the short suit method
Although I prefer a big rise for doing that
yeah i mean you can see the seam im sure there's an inch or two that folded up

would soshi otsuki fit the vibe here
Had a look at their suits and the shoulder sizing goes up to 20.8” for size 52
WOah, thank you!
Uhh
I didn’t look at the price and stock
So good luck :xd:
if i remember pricing isnt the worst
finding it
uhhh
I don't turbo care about pricing, not going to cop atm but it's nice to have options for next time I'm looking for suiting
but this do be rent free
in my head
its still ~$1400 for a suit so
not exactly cheap
Man sfc is ~£1000 as well
Ouch
:blushcatto: yeah im hoping the vintage armani i linked him works out
beacuse its a whole lot less than that
Is this USD or CAD
If it's USD OOOOOOFFFFFFF
:blushcatto:
