  6. No dice…. But man does that green wool look beautiful. Make a Napoli in that and I’m in like Flynn

  8. Buttons on the jacket look like they’re going to pop off at any moment. Someone could lose and eye.

  10. The designer must have been watching Superfly when he came up with those lapels. You can’t realistically wear lapels like that, they’re too aerodynamic and any gust of wind is going to pick you up and set you down 6 feet away.

  12. I really can only guess that the fat lapels of the finely tailored suits of Ron Burgundy were the inspiration for these. They should have left them in the ’70s.

  14. SuitSupply design team:
    “Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, those lapels really got out of hand fast!”
    “They jumped up a notch.”

  17. I remember lapels like that back in the 70’s. I guess the fashion industry has to move us away from the current styling back to a different era to keep us buying.suits annd jackets. The days of the short topcoat are surely numbered, mark my words

  18. Retro lapels with a more modern body cut. A bit like what Antony Price made for Bryan Ferry. Interesting!

  23. Is this a joke? No comment on the surf board lapels! What’s with the super skinny sleeves?

  30. after skinny lapels, next move is wide lapels, so those fashion oriented coats we bought become obsolete. A typical fashion industry move. It won’t happen over night, but it’s coming. Wide lapels are coming.

  32. For some reason I could see Billy Crystal’s Fernando character wearing one of these. In white.

  35. I actually like it. The lapels are a little flamboyant, but it’s certainly not a bad look.
    Aside from number one, the rest of the features seem very nice.

  36. I actually like the larger pocket flaps, and I think if the lapels lost an inch or so as well as some of that curvature of the earth schtick they’ve got going on, they’d still be noticeably massive but the jacket would be far more wearable.

  37. The bigger the lapels, the better you can order Italian food. I believe that’s what the general rule of thumb is.

  39. Don’t freak out guys, it’s just an added safety feature.

    These lapels can double as small airplane landing strips in case of emergency.

  45. SuitSupply, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. You should probably find yourself a safe house or a relative close by.
    Lay low for a while, because you’re probably wanted for murder.

  46. That’s the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this. What were they thinking? There’s not 1 person in San Diego that dresses like that now. They should open up a store in San Diego instead.

  48. Those lapels wouldn’t be such an eyesore if the rest of the suit was in proportion. However, since the rest of the suit is in the modern ultra skinny style, it just looks bad.

  49. It’s a formidable suit. Stings the nostrils, in a good way. SuitSupply, I’m going to going to be honest. That smells like pure gasoline.

  51. It’s a strange melange of styles. But hey, what the hell. You know something was bound to follow the trend to skinny and tight. I wouldn’t have guessed wide and tight (and short), but what do I know? I still think skinny jeans look terrible.

  52. My first thought was that it looks pretty sweet, like a suite a pirate would wear while waving a cutless. It also made me think it should be balanced by a wide hat with a feather in it, so I wonder if this is one of those styles, like a loincloth, that’s relatively site-specific.

  53. In case of emergency pull the hidden cord, the lapels will fill with air and can be used as a floatation device.

  55. Nobody talking about the moose knuckles? Too low brow for this crowd I guess. I imagine it’s difficult to talk about moose knuckles while wearing a bow tie.

  57. Those suits are bad. Did anyone else notice when you click the pictures of the suits your redirected to completely irrelevant pages? The first suit takes you to a picture of a golden eagle, and the second one goes to a the opening scenes of Star Wars on YouTube. Interesting. Once again, awful suits.

  58. Only if you are well known for being a ballsy dresser. Overall, not a fan. It’s a poor attempt to mix old and new.

  62. This is true. But on another note, DC’s Bond is wearing an ultra-modern suit with narrow lapels, shorter jacket, skinnier tie) in Skyfall, so there’s the opposite of the Roger Moore trend. But for everyone’s sake, I hope we never see lapels THAT wide again. I’m sure the trend will swing back towards wide lapels, but that wide… ? Yikes!

  64. A wide lapel is not a bad thing, look at Tom Fords line F/W this year, but the silhouette should be geometrically proportioned. Look at old Hollywood movies, a wide peak lapel with a double breasted suit was all ways attractive, but the tone of today’s silhouettes are a slim cut, which does not work with a notch lapel shown there. I think Suitsupply may want to drop this style. (I may be wrong, they may be writing orders left and right). Has any one ordered one?
