Would recommend to a friend
A friend asked where my partner got his after seeing it at a party and I have since sent her the link. She ordered the same thing for her husband and it fit him first time as well. Two for two on the size chart being honest, which is not something I say lightly about buying clothes online for somebody else, let alone twice over.
No pulling at the seams
Broad across the back and I usually get pulling at the shoulder seam when I reach forward. Not with this one. There is enough room cut into the back that it moves with you. Buttoned up it still looks shaped rather than tent like.
Replaced the grey one
Had a grey suit that had done a decade of weddings and funerals and was starting to look it. This has taken over completely and the grey one has gone to the charity shop. Should have done it years ago rather than making do.
Both buttons pull
Good suit for the price. If you fasten both buttons it pulls a little at the waist, so I only ever do the top one. That is how you are meant to wear it anyway but worth knowing.
Something different
Everyone at these things wears the same grey or navy and I had got thoroughly tired of it. This is different enough to be noticed but not so different that anyone thinks you are trying too hard, which is a harder balance to strike than it sounds. It has become the one I reach for whenever there is anything on the calendar worth dressing for.
Pockets are useful
The two flap pockets are deep enough for gloves, which matters at this time of year, and the two inside the jacket take a phone and a wallet without the front going out of shape. The trouser pockets front and back are all properly sewn rather than the token things you get on cheaper suits. Sounds dull but it is the difference between wearing something and fighting it.
Good for evenings out
Not just for formal things. I have worn it out to dinner with the shirt open and no tie and it works perfectly well. The notch lapel keeps it from feeling too dressed up, and the fabric means you can get away with it in a pub as easily as a restaurant. That flexibility is the reason it gets worn as much as it does, rather than sitting in a wardrobe.
Ordered for my dad
Bought it for my father, who has worn the same suit to every family occasion for about fifteen years. He grumbled about it and then wore it three weekends running. He has since asked me what else they do, which from him is high praise.
Ridge in the chest pocket
Very happy with the make of it. The welt pocket on the chest is sewn flat to the body, so anything you put in it shows as a ridge through the fabric. Even a folded square does it. I leave it empty now and it looks fine.
Wore it three times
My husband has had it out three times since it arrived, which for him is remarkable. Usually things sit in the wardrobe with the tags on until I make him wear them. I was suprised he took to it so fast.
Texture does the work
You do not need a pattern or a bright colour when the fabric has this much going on. It reads plain from a distance and interesting up close. That is the whole appeal of it.
Got compliments at work
Wore it to the office on a Friday and had three separate people ask about it, including one who has never once acknowledged that I own clothes. It is smart enough for a client meeting and relaxed enough that you do not look overdressed.
Trousers took a hem
Trousers arrived long and straight, which is correct, and a local tailor took two inches off for very little. The waist was right without adjustment eiher. Corduroy hems well, no fraying at the cut edge, and the finished line looks factory rather than altered.
Not a summer suit
Worth saying plainly so nobody is disappointed. This is a cold weather suit. From about October through to March it is perfect and I have worn nothing else to anything formal in that window. In June it would be unbearable. Buy it for what it is and you will be very happy with it. Mine has been out a dozen times already this season.
Warmer than a wool one
Compared it against the wool suit I already own and this is the warmer of the two, which surprised me. Something about the density of the fabric. I have been out in it withuot a coat more than once already this month.
Arrived well packed
Recieved it folded in tissue inside a garment bag, inside a proper box. Two fold marks across the back that dropped out overnight. For a textured fabric that is a relief, because pressed creases in corduroy are not easy to shift once they are set.
Warm without a coat
I have not worn an overcoat once since I got this, and I am usually cold by the middle of October. The fabric is dense and the lining is smooth so it traps a bit of warmth without feeling stuffy. Walked to the station and back in it on a frosty morning in nothing else and was perfectly fine, which says a lot for the cloth.
Swishes when I walk
Good suit, I like the look of it a great deal. One thing nobody mentions about corduroy trousers is the noise. Walk quickly and the legs brush together and make a swishing sound. In a quiet room it is noticeable. You get used to it.
Fit was true
Ordered my usual chest size and it came out right, which is definately not something I can say for most things I buy without trying on. Shoulders are clean, the waist is shaped rather than boxy, and the sleeves needed no work at all.
Good winter buy
Nothing clever to say about it. It fits, it is warm, it looks good and it cost less than I expected. That covers everything I wanted from it when I ordered.
