bumping for anyone who missed this last night

i will definitely post about it when it comes in, but i decided to order because of the other wedding website i am on - i found out about it there and TONS of brides were very happy with their suits and posted pics to see. so check out my other link above if you want to see all they have to say now.

@julies1949: the $99 suits are a cotton-linen blend that is more resistant to wrinkles than the pure linen!

@ms.walter: funny you wrote today, we got the suit this morning!  it arrived literally 13 days after we placed the order! i had to request the arrival date and it worked!  the suit is really great quality material and exactly the color we wanted!  i will have FI try it on tonight then will post pics! i am so excited!

@runsyellowlites: judging by how fast mine got here, i say you have plenty of time! i might wait a couple more weeks to order pants for the groomsmen!

@kperry3:  what do you mean the logistics is insane??  i placed the order online 13 days ago and the suit got delivered to my doorstep this morning! couldn't have been easier!   and i am telling you, it is a high quality suit!

if you are referring to the measurements, i ordered a pre-set size. i was thrown off by all the measurements and FI knows his pant and jacket size, so we ordered those. he put the jacket on briefly this morning and said it felt right in the shoulders.  the pants i am sure will fit since they are his size!  with the preset sizes, the pants come unhemmed, so he just has to go to a seamstress and pay like $30 maybe to hem to his length.  could not be simpler!  i am so happy and relieved we got something nice for him to wear at such an amazing price!

i got pictures finally!  FI tried on the suit and it fits great!!! i also LOVE the quality and color - it is PERFECT.  i am soooo happy i listened to everyones good reviews on the bestdesintationwedding.com website and now i can 100% add my own awesome review!!!! totally and completely worth the price.  we totally could not afford a brand new suit - or so i thought - so before finding studiosuits, i thought we would have to go the khaki pants route with no jacket. and i was kind of disappointed because i have such a fancy dress, so i really wanted FI to be comfortable AND be dressed up!! i envied all the pics i googled of men's attire for destination wedding and now my FI has his own! i am waaayy more thrilled than he is obviously, LOL.  but he says its comfortable, fits good and he concurs that the suit is overall good quality.

we ordered the preset sizes for jacket and pants. so the pants came un-hemmed as it said they would, but no biggie, we can hem them for fairly cheap.  i think the jacket is tad too long on his arms, but FI says its fine.  but he said when he gets the pants hemmed, he will bring the jacket and see if they think they should do anything with it.

so without further adieu, here is my FI in his beige linen suit!  the pants are a 32 regular (i folded them to the right length for the picture) and the jacket is a 42 regular.  color is Beige Linen and i LOVE it!!! i chose the color based on a previous post on the other website's thread!

Oh and the shirt he is wearing and we think it goes well, so no need to spend money on a new shirt.  The tie I bought from Dessy to match the color of the BM dresses.

haha, FI doesnt look too happy in the bottom two pics.....gushing over clothes and modelling is so not his thing!  But he tried it on and let me take pics to please me, lol.

bumping this for those who wanted to see pics and missed my post last night!

@ms.walter: no problem! you totally buy from them! i think i will buy matching pants for the groomsmen as well.

@kperry3: i was stressed with getting my FIs measurements! i was afraid we wouldn't do it right!  so to solve this issue we ordered one of the pre-set sizes they offer. Like FI knows what size pants he wears and he has another suit so we checked the jacket size.  they both fit great, he just needs to get the pants hemmed.

@kperry3:  

1. What type of linen did you FI buy?

--- the combined linen and cotten blend (ie. not pure irish linen) and the color is Beige linen.

2. If anyone bought vests, what color were they? There is no option, so I'm wondering if they are a certain color, or just the same color that you choose for the jacket.

---- we didn't buy a vest so i can't say. i would think to buy the same color?  or maybe one of your wedding colors?  not sure honestly, sorry!

3. What fit did your FI choose? I'm thinking just the normal comfort fit.. cause I don't know what the others styles look like.

--- since we got a pre-set size, we didn't have a choice of fit.  But at one point i was considering doing the measurements, so then i would have went with the classic comfort fit. i figured it was safe.

4. Will vests look better with a one button jacket, or two buttons?

--- Again, i don't know anything about vests, so can't help you there! try looking at pics online of any guy in any suit and see what is more common,  maybe?

5. Should we order all the suits at one time, or is it ok that the guys just order them separately?

--- i like to save money and so i think it would be cheaper to order tham all together?  although we only have one other groomsmen and didn't order his suit yet, i had wanted to see how this one turned out.
