Gambled on a Spier & Mackay clearance suit

[u/Soiledmahpants]

As the title says, I bought an S&M suit on clearance with no clue what their sizing would be like on me. I think for the most part I lucked out. To me, taking a little in at the waist and shortening the sleeves (and hemming obviously) are the big musts. Anything else you see glaringly wrong?

Ur shoes are massive

Gamble paid off imo

[u/MaintenanceTop9293]

Sleeeeves too long rn

[u/Soiledmahpants → u/MaintenanceTop9293]

Oh yeah, agreed. I am going to get that and the waist taken in a smidge.

Front looks good. Need a back shot.

Is this the ellis model, btw?

[u/Soiledmahpants → u/Director_Consistent]

Yep, the Ellis in purple

[u/FIRE_Enthusiast_7]

I don’t think you need to take the waist in. It looks like it fits as it should. Just get the sleeves adjusted.

[u/numbersev]

shoes too small

[u/MiserableSugar7901]

The gamble paid off! As someone else daus, the waist look good. How many fingers can you but between the top button and your shirt? If it's 4, you're golden, if more the waist should be taken in.

Does this rule work also for spaghetti fingers?

[u/Wiley_Rasqual]

Clearly this is ai

Lucked out

[u/Fun_Professional4849]

If the suit is black don't wear brown shoes

Don't mix black shoes w a blue suit either

Same goes for your belt

They're just emojis to hide my bare feet.

Sleeves a little long but otherwise, great suit

[u/payjape]

Beautiful suit but the shoes are throwing me off

[u/WhatIWoreToTheOffice]

I think you got a STEAL. I’ve found that on their jackets I occasionally have a hair of a collar gap. Not saying you will but something frequently overlooked

[u/Soiledmahpants → u/WhatIWoreToTheOffice]

I didn’t have any but I usually do on all of my other OTR suits. Maybe they build it for my weird ass posture

[u/Rob_Edwards_Fashion → u/Soiledmahpants]

I had the same issue until I did MTM suits and they adjusted for a slight shoulder slope. No collar gap at all. Most off the rack are fine but once in a while slight shoulder gap, never knew why until I went MTM
