I'd like to pick one of these up, since my current suit I'm not too happy with (jacket really), but I'm so slim I am worried about buying one. Heck, jackets alone cost $110 at Kohls, it's almost worth 'hoping' and just buy one.

Anyone have any recs on slim fit jackets online by the way?

I actually tried one of those $99 slim fit ones. I ordered a 38R and while the pants fit well, the jacket didn't actually look "slim fit" on me. (FYI, I am 5'9" @ 160 lbs) So I emailed them back asking if I could get a 38 S. So I got the replacement after sending out the other one. This one now looks pretty good on me, with higher armpits, slimmer sleeves and short enough that I always have a little of my cuffs showing. The chest fit is a little more snug than the 38R which looks great. I picked out the hand ticked peaked lapel, have used it in functions and have gotten great "reviews". Of course, I do not tell them it was that cheap. I'd like to keep them guessing....

I tried one of the $159 ones in 38r, didn't work for me at all. The shoulders stuck out way too far and the chest was tight (5'9" 165). Not really a slim fit though, the stomach area had plenty of extra room. I think this fit would only work if a person has really broad shoulders and no muscle mass. Otherwise the chest or shoulders area is gonna look ridiculous
