I just got my pair in today, but in black suede. They're pretty comfortable and I'm happy with the quality of the materials. In a few minutes I'm about to buy the taupe pair, plenty of sizes left... $63 shipped on Urban Outfitters. The black pair was down to $40 when I bought them... only size 11 left. So happy. I was ready to cop both on Zappos for 80 each.Originally Posted by shycagoill

Neiman Marcus Last Call Outlet is quickly becoming my new fav playground.
Used the 40% off 1 item coupon today on a Michael Kors 100% Wool suit, $550 orig down to $275w/coupon= $165
Feels really diff. than the Macy's MK.
Right now I'm trying to rack up some daily throw-around suits before the checks start coming in & I can upgrade to some real suiting.
Tailor-
a)hem & slim the pants
b)drop & slim the sleeves
c)bring in some fabric from the rear under my armpits
Do you think the jacket is too short? shoulders & chest feel great, 1st time I try a 38r

The alterations you mentioned will go a long way, especially the pants.
My only issue is that the construction of the jacket looks a little...off. Maybe it's just the way you're positioned or something but the right sleeve looks like the material rotates around to the outside (left sleeve looks fine) and then looking at the profile and back, it appears that both arms were constructed to be extended further forward than yours are in the pictures, which would just be awkward. Do you see what I'm saying?
I'd see if you could get it taken in along the center seam in the back as well so it lays a little better and tapers slightly. Jacket length looks fine, sleeve length is okay. The pants just make you look shorter and stockier than you probably are.

The jacket is absolutely too short - especially the sleeves but also slightly in the body.Originally Posted by NachoBroadway

I guess I wear a jacket a lot more in the traditional style than a lot of people here - and that I see on the streets too. The fashion for some reason has gone to people wearing short stupid jackets.
The pants are too long like you say - but I like the width. I like a bit of room in mine anyway. Not quite on the MJ level with his enormous long jackets and baggy pants - but just a little space in the thigh and not really tapering below the knee - I just think that looks silly unless you're a stick insect.
I also don't like your shoes - I like a much plainer shoe with a suit - the buckle just jumps out at me. Looks a bit 80s mafia.

I understand your pov. I have more traditional suits & will be acquiring more. Once the pants are tailored, I think we can get a better idea of the jacket's fit.
It is shorter than usual, but not too short imo as in the current blazer craze.
I am going to keep it, at $165, full wool and best overall fit.
At the tailor now, After-pics next week:
-Lengthen sleeve $26
-Take in Center Seam $12
-Pants takeout waist $12
-Taper $12
$62 for alterations

Yeah, that's reasonable - it's not horrifically short like you say - short enough that I would probably try the L if it was available - but that might be huge.
Having the pants done will make a huge difference - it's always hard to tell what's going on when they're 4" too long - but it's amazing how many people you see wearing them like that - not even close. I pay about the same for my alterations so that's not bad at all - especially when you got such a good deal on the suit.

Man I'd murder someone to have as many perfect fitting suits as you do.
Props as always.
