Massimo Alba Sloop suit, SA, size IT48

I'm gauging interest at this point as I received the Sloop suit from MA in size IT48 and am not 100% sure I'll keep it. As it is classed as a special order by them I can't return it.

It's a lovely suit but I'm not sure if the colour works on me. I'd only be looking to get back what I paid for it, I'm not out to make anything on this. As a guide, cost me £800 from MA.

Please pm me if interested.

Thanks

    The fit is excellent; it's a lovely suit and I'm really torn!

    Given our history of clothing purchases (remember the strange hotel we met at when I was working in the US??) I would say the IT48 would fit you perfectly.

    Thanks! Yes, was a quick but very enjoyable hello! I ask because I am vasilating between the 48 and the 50. I think my shoulders may have been a little bigger than yours? Or am I crazy?

    Sorry.... I don't mean to derail your post.

    I think you’d find the 50 too big :) I’ll send some pics for you.

    One thing I don't understand about MA is that people here have said that it (as a brand) fits true to size. But from what I've seen their IT48 trousers (which I would think of as a US 32) are actually 34.5" at the waist, and IT46 (which I'd think of as US 30) are actually around 32" waist. Can anyone confirm this?

    I have both the Sloop suit and Winch trousers in IT48; I’ll post some measurements of both later today.

    From the recent MA “steps” SA order, my pair in 48 measures 16 1/4 inches lying flat

    Trousers on both the suit and 'steps' are the same on mine - about 16 3/4" across the front waistband.

    I’ll add pictures over in the NTTD Wardrobe thread for those who have asked.
