“I think it’s too short.”
That’s what my tailor said as I stood there in the suit you see on the left. The suit is a perfectly deep blue, subtle tonal stripe DKNY I picked up off Gilt for a steal. I was impressed with it straight out of the box, but I hadn’t put it on in front of a full length mirror until I got to my tailor last week.
Some of you who like the Thom Browne shrunken suit look will think it’s just fine. Some will say no way, that jacket is too short. Others will point out that the sleeves on my gray suit look to be a little long (just noticed that) But we should all agree on one thing:
It’s good to know your suit size. It’s better to know your suit size specific to each brand.
*NOTE: The Kenneth Cole suit you see above was purchased three years ago at a Macy’s. They don’t appear to carry the Kenneth Cole New York online, but they do carry very similar suit separates on KennethCole.com. That’s what has been linked to. Now a warning… the suit I own is 100% wool, and their online separates appear to be a mix. If they don’t carry Kenneth Cole New York (skip REACTION, they’re poly) suits at the Macy’s near you? Try Overstock. Normal sizes can go quick, but they’re ultra cheap.
