Do Suitsupply suits run small or large?
Fact-checked 2026-09-29 · every claim links to its source below
What Suitsupply publishes
- There is no standalone size chart page. suitsupply.com/en-us/size-guide.html returns a 404. The chart lives inside the product page — "Click to 'Select size' tab for a size chart with precise measurements" — so it is per product, and it is a comparison chart for "comparing garments with your wardrobe" rather than a body chart.1
- Sizing on the US site is US numeric 32–50 with S / R / L, keyed to height: under 5'5" Short, 5'5"–6'1" Regular, over 6'1" Long.3
- The jacket models sold in 2026 are Havana, Milano, Brera and Roma, with the shoulder construction stated in the name — "Havana - Natural Shoulder", "Milano - Structured Shoulder", "Brera - Structured Shoulder", "Roma - Natural Shoulder" — layered with a fit word, as in "Tailored Fit Havana Suit" or "Relaxed Fit Roma Suit".3
- Suit trousers ship long on purpose: "Suit pants lengths are by default extra-long to allow for future alterations", and "These pants arrive with additional length to ensure you can tailor them to your perfect length". Budget for a hem on every pair.14
- Five trouser silhouettes: Slim Leg Tapered, Slim Leg Straight, Straight Leg, Wide Leg Tapered and Wide Leg Straight. Slim fits are mid-rise; wide fits are high-rise and "best worn at or above waist".4
- Sleeve guidance with an actual number: sleeves "should reach just slightly above where your thumb bone meets your wrist, leaving half an inch (1.5cm) of your shirt sleeve visible". The house advice is shoulder-first — if the waist is tight, size up and tailor; if the sleeves swallow the shirt cuff, size down before altering.5
- Size Passport is the made-to-measure record: "a tool that saves your measurements, allowing you to order products in the best-fitting size and with a perfect fit". Creating one takes "about 15 to 25 minutes" and it stores "measurements and alterations".6
What buyers report
- No consensus. One reviewer says "their sizing all runs quite large" and sized up from a usual 44; another says "SuitSupply usually runs on the short side", which is a length claim rather than a girth one; a long-running Styleforum thread runs under the title "SuitSupply Sizing - Feels constrictive". The reports do not point one way.7
- A caution for anyone reading older guides: Lazio, Napoli, Washington and Sienna are no longer the live line-up, but a 2019-era third-party guide using those names still dominates search results. Check the model names on the current product page instead.83
If you get the size wrong
- Alterations first: "Get your perfect fit alterations within 30 minutes to 3 days", available in stores.1
- Standard returns: "You can return your items for free within 30 days from delivery or store purchase date", items "unworn, unaltered… original tags attached"; 60 days for purchases between 1 November and 25 December.2
- The standout fact: Suitsupply takes back a made-to-measure suit. "Yes, you can return Custom Made orders from Suitsupply within 30 days of delivery or in-store pickup. Items must be unworn, unaltered, and in original condition." Indochino, Black Lapel, Knot Standard and Brooks Brothers made-to-measure all say no.2
“I’m incredibly grateful for the Team at Nathan Taylor’s, I had the absolute best experience from the WhatsApp video call to the customer service… they are top notch. I can’t recommend them enough and will definitely be purchasing more suits from them. Cảm ơn!”
“Suit arrived! It’s incredible, amazing job thank you.”
“Ordered two suits and four shirts, remotely from the US. They fit great and are great quality! Was able to do everything over WhatsApp for measurements, etc. Will definitely visit if I ever make it to Hoi An. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Very satisfied; incredibly skillful to make clothes fit so perfectly. Beautiful fabric exactly as promised, very neat — would simply love to order from here again!”
“They did such an amazing job, my suit fits perfectly and the craftsmanship is superb! Linda was a great help and she knows exactly what she is doing. I can't recommend this place enough and I will be getting more suits from them in the future guaranteed!”
“Great place to get perfect suit, they send me to Poland with no problems.”
“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
Where is the Suitsupply size chart?

The stored measurement record used for made-to-measure orders; it takes about 15 to 25 minutes to create and stores both measurements and alterations 6.
