    Just imagine the size of the flag pin you could slap on that lapel!

    Who wants a lapel that big!?

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

    That actually looks like a whale’s vagina. Well played.

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

    Well, you can tell by the way I wear my lapels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_izvAbhExY

    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.

    what a ridiculous video! awesome… like all those 90’s dance videos with the silver briefcase

    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.

  13. Kyle says

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

    The lapels: “I’m kind of a big deal”

    Milk was a bad choice…

  17. Bill O'Dowd says

    October 10, 2012 at 6:29 AM

    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. fattsmann says

    October 10, 2012 at 6:30 AM

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

    I like the lapels. What caught my eye are the pants, which are hemmed way too short.

  22. Bear says

    October 10, 2012 at 7:11 AM

    Where have I seen lapels like that before? … oh yeah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWNQTqMkezc

  23. PaulMacon says

    October 10, 2012 at 7:14 AM

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

  24. Shane Moseley says

    October 10, 2012 at 7:16 AM

    The Ron Burgandy comments are dead on. This looks ridiculous.

  25. MarkB says

    October 10, 2012 at 7:17 AM

    I guess you could save money on pocket squares, since no one will ever see them.

  26. Erick Johnson says

    Suitsupply certainly offers a wide array of choices. *cue the groans*

  27. JacksonNC says

    You know what they say about big lapels…

  28. Erick Johnson says

    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.

  31. Derric Podschun says

    October 10, 2012 at 8:08 AM

    I’m disgusted that they used the name of the city I live in for this style. Ugh.

  32. Furious Styles says

    October 10, 2012 at 8:16 AM

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

  33. Philip Coffaro says

    October 10, 2012 at 8:25 AM

    I feel like if you wore that jacket in a high wind you might get swept away.

  34. RBiggs2452452 says

    October 10, 2012 at 8:34 AM

    …wasn’t Ron Burgandy an anchorman in San Diego? It’s not April 1st, is it?!?

  35. Patrick says

    October 10, 2012 at 9:05 AM

    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. Jackson says

    October 10, 2012 at 9:17 AM

    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. Austin says

    October 10, 2012 at 9:20 AM

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

  38. rybuxton says

    The guy in the brown suit looks like he has camel toe

  39. BenR says

    October 10, 2012 at 9:45 AM

    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.

  40. Guti says

    NEED MORE LAPEL BOYS

  41. Aaron G. says

    October 10, 2012 at 9:51 AM

    I’m actually returning them right now. I’m taking them back to the…..pant store.

  42. Butch_Zee says

    October 10, 2012 at 9:59 AM

    Man, imagine the size of shirt collar and tie knot needed to balance those lapels out!

  43. Kyle says

    October 10, 2012 at 10:17 AM

    yes

  44. Kyle says

    October 10, 2012 at 10:18 AM

    Jeremy Piven’s closet has exploded

  45. Sigtweed & corduroy says

    October 10, 2012 at 10:45 AM

    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. Chris Rodriguez says

    October 10, 2012 at 10:46 AM

    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.

  47. Rigga says

    October 10, 2012 at 10:47 AM

    Where’d you get those lapels? The……toilet store?

  48. John T. Danley says

    October 10, 2012 at 1:17 PM

    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. Aaron G. says

    October 10, 2012 at 1:23 PM

    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.

  50. BorrowedSuits says

    October 10, 2012 at 1:50 PM

    Truer words…

  51. BorrowedSuits says

    October 10, 2012 at 1:53 PM

    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. Andrew says

    October 10, 2012 at 2:01 PM

    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. dapperazn says

    October 10, 2012 at 3:13 PM

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

  54. j.r. says

    “Well, you know what they say…. When in Rome…..”
    “Yes? Go on…”

    October 10, 2012 at 7:42 PM

    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.

  56. Rob says

    October 10, 2012 at 10:06 PM

    San Diego = 70s Anchorman style??

  57. Dan says

    October 10, 2012 at 11:33 PM

    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. MattA Worldpeace says

    October 10, 2012 at 11:49 PM

    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.

  59. Jeremy says

    October 11, 2012 at 10:28 AM

    lapels are unfortunate

  60. Mike says

    October 11, 2012 at 12:00 PM

    Looks to me like the new Tom Ford. He’s also adopted very wide lapels in his new collection.

  61. Joseph Eyerman says

    October 11, 2012 at 1:23 PM

    80% of the time…this suits works all the time…

  62. Bo says

    October 11, 2012 at 2:30 PM

    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!

  63. Ben IncaHutz says

    October 12, 2012 at 1:16 PM

    Thats great. Eat a decent lunch and have your suit rip off you like the hulk.

    No thanks.

  64. Thomas Gerard Guice says

    October 17, 2012 at 12:05 AM

    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?
