I picked up a new Kiton suit on ebay at a great price. It is very narrowly tailored. You hear about Kiton fans referring to the suits as being a "second skin," and in this instance, that is really what it is. When I put the jacket on, it feels like there is absolutely no vacant space in the chest area. I am not a body-builder, but if I were, there is no way this coat would fit.
I have worn many brands, including Hickey Freeman, Oxxford, Brioni, etc., and I have never worn anything that is quite this form fitting. From lack of experience, perhaps, I feel somewhat uncomfortable having the coat fit so closely.
I recognize that a good fit is what each wearer thinks is a good fit for them. I am curious to know, however, whether something form fitting like this is the goal of custom suit makers, or is this bordering on "too close for comfort." As best I can tell, there is only about .75" of excess fabric at the side seams to let this out if I start doing bench presses every morning and add a couple inches to my chest.
Comments and advice appreciated.
