English Laundry Men's Slim Fit Grey Pinstripe Wool 2-button Suit

When I read the reviews prior to my purchase it said order a size up. So I did. Basically I had a Chris Farley moment of "fat guy in a little coat". Except I am not the fat guy. I normally wear a 38L/31W so I ordered a 40L/33W. Nothing fit. I could barely get the coat on. And the pants were unflattering.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Pretty close.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Fabric felt awful.
• How accurate was the sizing? Way off. Completely and utterly wrong.
• Would you recommend this to a friend? No

I kept this and did not return it basically because of the price and the possibility that tailor may save it. It looks nice--fabric is good, color is good, pattern is good. The cut and sizing though are so bizarre and unnatural though, that I would have a difficult time recommending this to anyone. That said, it is ***, so you might, like me, be willing to gamble.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Perfect.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Fabric is surprisingly high quality. Stitching is excellent. $100 for a half-canvassed, 100% wool, stitched, not glued garment, is in my book, better quality than expected. The quality, however, suffers tremendously in the assembly, cut, and sizing--all three interrelated factors, really.
• How accurate was the sizing? Utterly awful. I have not yet gotten the suit tailored, and it may be able to be saved. That said, I am normally a 40L, read the reviews, and bumped up to a 42L. As a result, the sleeves go almost to my knuckles--I am 6'3" with long arms, even for a 6'3" individual. To have the sleeves be so long is an absolute joke. Yet, the jacket length is disproportionately short. It does not even cover my rear. Moreover, the cut is surprisingly boxy for a slim, "modern," cut. It is not structured at all. In sum, I wear a 40L, got a 42 L--the sleeves are way too long, the jacket is too short, and the fit is boxy. The pants, obviously, are too big in the waist, yet the thighs are compressingly tight. Overall just an odd, odd fit. I can't imagine the proportions of someone that would actually fit into this suit: strangely long arms with a full and short torso, fat around the waist, yet with the skinniest legs I can possibly imagine. Utterly bizarre.

Great looking suit but jacket runs at least one size smaller. Had to return and not exchange because the pants would be too big on the next size up.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Color was as shown.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality.
• How accurate was the sizing? Not accurate on the jacket. It runs small. Pants were accurate on size.
• Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

I got this suit thinking I was finding a nice deal on a lighter, slim-fit suit. Bad decision. Out of the box, the seems were so poorly done that the pants were not even flush on the rear or side seems. The waist on the pants plainly inaccurate, however the taper was at the right angle. The jacket was pretty poorly assembled. Unless you plan on re-stitching your suit, I recommend you avoid this one.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? accurately
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. extremely poor
• How accurate was the sizing? Jacket was accurate; pants were considerably smaller in waist.
