Emigre Men's 100% Cotton Striped Seersucker Suit

I ordered this suit for a last minute Derby event and am so impressed with the quality for what I consider to be a very inexpensive suit. The pants are not hemmed (I knew this). The 34 waist fits more like a 33 (which was good because my true waist is probably close to a 32. The waist fit comfortably. The 40 jacket needed a simple alteration at the back seams to be more fitted (I like a sport snug fit vs boxy fit). I also had the inside of the pant legs taken in about 1/2 inch to get a skinnier fitted look. Fits like a glove and the material and lining are great.

A real bargain! There was a tag attached which claimed "$450." Ambitious, certainly. Yet I believe the suit would sell for about $250 in any good men's store. The pants are a bit tight - the "33 inch waist" is smaller than the 33 waist on my denim jeans, but I should lose a few pounds anyway. Also, the sleeves were about 1/4-inch too short, but that was to be expected: I have somewhat longish arms for my height. And the un-cuffed pants had plent of extra fabric at the bottom. The padded shoulders give this an upscale look, if that's what you're looking for. The classic seersucker, of course, has soft, shapeless shoulders.

The jacket fit well, not too snug or too loose, slightly on the loose side, which is good for this. The pants fit well but of must be hemmed (stated clearly in the description.) The price was great. This is exactly the color/style I was looking for for a light, summer evening jacket for a casual night out. My wife thinks the jacket "slightly flamboyant" (we live in the northwest) but by putting it on with the pants, a pink shirt, Jerry Garcia purple tie, pink pocket kerchief and a Panama hat, I was able to demonstrate that, no, the jacket just by itself with a typical northwest pair of jeans is not overly "flamboyant." (But it's there if you want it!)

Constructed well for a suit that only costs $126. As others had commented, some of the buttons were sewn on a little loose (which again, for a suit or even just a jacket at this price I am not overly concerned about). Like most suits, the pants come unhemmed / unfinished, so you need to take the pants to somebody to get them hemmed for length no matter what. So I just asked the tailor to re-sew all my buttons on while they had the suit. I am 5' 8" & 140lbs. typically wear a 30 to 32inch waist, 38S/39S jacket. I purchased both the 40S and the 38S. The 40S was OK (and if you like your jackets loose, or are a more muscular person go with the 40S). I like a more slim fit jacket, so I felt the 38S looked and fit better. The 38S came with 32waist pants, which fit me perfectly. l returned the 40S with no problems (free returns with Prime).I really only wanted the jacket, so the pants were a bonus. I wanted this as just a casual sport coat / summer jacket so I wasn't concerned about having the finest high quality liner, etc. I'd buy this again at this price.

I love this suit. It is a great product, especially for the price. However, when the suit arrived the pants were 4 inches longer than expected or advertised and the jacket was larger than expected. I predicted that I would have to have some tailoring done to the suit, all suits usually need some kind of tailoring, but this suit was simply not as advertised with the pant length and the jacket size. I liked the price and the quality of the suit. If you do not want to get a suit tailored (I have never worn a suit that wasn't tailored) then do not purchase this one. If you don't mind some tailoring then this is a steal!

I was pleased with the suit. The jacket was a perfect fit while the pants ran a bit small for the size. Since they also required cuffing, I just had the seamstress let out the waist a bit, and now it is a perfect fit. Looks good, and the quality seems to be durable. I expect to get several years wear based on what I've seen so far. I would definitely buy additional suits from this vendor.

A nice suit...very nice, in fact, for the money. It's a handsome, lightweight, warm weather alternative to a traditional lounge suit/business suit, which I will be happy to wear on those hot Summer days in June, July, and August. The great thing is that the jacket can be worn as a separate with chinos on occasions demanding something less formal or less uniform than a suit. My one complaint, however, is the shoulder pads. They are a bit much for a seersucker jacket, which some would argue ought not to have any padding at all. This was disappointing. I would have given five stars were it not for the excessive shoulder padding. Delivery was quick, however. I opted for free shipping and still received my order in only four business days.

Needed a cheap last minute summer suit for an event. For the price it’s a great value but you’ll need to get it tailored which should be a shock to anyone. I have all my suits tailored whether it’s $200 or $5000 so that’s the only consideration. Weight was nice for mild summer day and night and plenty of compliments.
