Is there a Macy's men's suit size chart?

There is no "Macy's size" to learn, and Macy's says so: "Size charts are available for many, but not all, items on macys.com. If a size chart is available, you'll see a Size Chart link directly on the product page" 1. It is a department store, so a 40R Alfani and a 40R Bar III are two different makers' 40R sold under one roof. The advice is therefore the opposite of the advice for a vertical brand: check the chart on the specific product, and be ready for it not to be there 1.

What Macy's publishes

  • Unusually candid, and it is the headline for this retailer: "Size charts are available for many, but not all, items on macys.com. If a size chart is available, you'll see a Size Chart link directly on the product page."1
  • The practical consequence: at J.Crew or Express you read the brand chart once and it holds across the line. At Macy's there is no line-wide chart to read — only whichever label you are holding, and possibly not even that.1
  • On size range: "macys.com offers a wide selection of Big & Tall clothing. Sizes and availability vary by brand." Big & Tall has its own men's clothing department, but the actual chest and waist span, and any surcharge, are not published on a page reachable to an automated reader.1
  • The own-label suiting is sold as separates, readable from Macy's own product titles — "Alfani Men's Slim-Fit Stretch Solid Suit Separates, Created for Macy's" — so jacket and trouser are bought independently and no chest-to-waist drop is imposed, the same model as J.Crew, Banana Republic and Express.2
  • "Created for Macy's" is the store's own private-label designation, worth knowing because buyers read "Alfani" as a brand with its own sizing heritage; it is a house label.2
  • A limit worth stating: no chest ladder, sleeve or inseam table and no fit-name system for Alfani, Bar III or Tasso Elba could be read from macys.com, whose shopping pages refuse automated readers. That is an unverified gap, not a verified absence — the charts may exist in a browser.12

If you get the size wrong

  • "Most items can be returned within 30 days of delivery or purchase." Items must be "Unworn and unaltered", in original condition, with original tags and packaging.3
  • "Altered or personalized items are final sale and cannot be returned, exchanged, or price adjusted." This is the most consistent rule across every brand in this research: alteration ends the return right. Settle the size first; the tailor comes after the window, not before.3
  • Return postage is free for Star Rewards members and carries a $9.99 fee for non-members on mail returns — the most expensive mail return in this set (J.Crew $7.50, Express $6.99, Zara $4.95).3
  • Correcting a widespread claim: the Macy's window is 30 days, not 90. The 90-day figure applies to registry purchases, not to clothing. Last Act clearance is excluded entirely, and a few designer labels carry their own shorter windows.3

“Being a short and stocky person, I could never truly get clothing that fitted properly. "Off the rack" was never an option... As I opened the small box, I got nervous and wondered if I made a big mistake and basically gambled away a fair amount of money. I ordered a 3 piece suit, 2 shirts and had a pair of leather dress shoes. Everything fitted nicely... the shirts were absolutely PERFECT.”

“WOW! Ordered a suit online with Linda. She contacted me by video call to go through the measuring process and once confirmed measurements again, around 4 weeks later a made to measure suit arrived in the UK. Fitted perfectly and I didn't even visit! Fantastic quality and customer service from Linda. Would definitely recommend!”

“Exceptional experience from start to finish. I ordered a fully custom two-piece double-breasted suit remotely from France, Linda and Jennifer guided me through every step with patience and professionalism. The suit arrived in under 3 weeks and the result is flawless: fabric, cut, lining, silhouette, everything is perfect. Nathan Tailors delivered exactly the vision I had in mind. I will absolutely be ordering again. Highly recommended.”

“This was my first time buying suits online so I was a bit apprehensive. However, the online order form was both easy to use and very thorough, and they did a video call with me to make sure of a couple of measurements that were out of the normal range. Two suits and a shirt arrived here in New Zealand in less than two weeks, are well-made, and fit perfectly. I'm thrilled with the service.”

Questions people ask

Does Macy's have a men's suit size chart?

Not a universal one. "Size charts are available for many, but not all, items on macys.com" — when one exists, it is linked on that product page 1.

Do Alfani suits run small?

There is no verified answer. Macy's product pages refuse automated readers, so no fit meter, review aggregate or buyer quote could be retrieved 1. For a multi-brand retailer the question also has no single answer.

Is Alfani a brand or a Macy's label?

A Macy's private label — the product titles carry the "Created for Macy's" designation 2. It has no independent sizing heritage to carry over from elsewhere.

What drop do Macy's own-label suits use?

None imposed. The Alfani line sells as suit separates, so jacket and trouser are chosen independently 2.

Is the Macy's return window 90 days?

No, 30 days for most items, from delivery or purchase 3. The 90-day figure that circulates online is the registry rule. Last Act clearance is excluded, and altered items are final sale 3.
