I love this suit and can tell I'll have it for a long time.
First, the fit: I'm 5'7", about 140 lbs, and have an athletic build. I got the medium jacket and size 4 pants. Overall, I had to make minimal alterations. The jacket fit great in the arms and shoulders, but there was a bit too much room around my body, so I had it taken in at the sides a little bit. The pants are a little snug on my butt and upper thighs, so I wouldn't want to have to carry a ton of stuff in my pockets, but they fit great around the waist. I had the length taken up about an inch or so. I considered going up a size in the pants, but I feared that if I did they'd be too big around the waist and butt and I'd have to have more alterations made, so I'm sticking with these and hoping the linen loosening over time will give me a little more room.
The material: Super high-quality. Love the lining. I did expect it to be a bit more breathable than it is? I wore it to a wedding in Portland, Oregon, in June. The weather was supposed to be 70s and ended up being like 90. I was sweating pretty heavily in this, but then again I think you'd be hot in anything at that temp.
The color: I love the tan linen because I think it's great for spring/summer. I wore it with a light blue linen shirt and brown shoes, and I think that combo made it a little too "retired dad" for me. I think a fun patterned shirt would help you avoid that.
Overall, I love the suit and definitely plan to invest in another from kirrin finch when I can afford it.
I have always had a frustrating experience buying clothing. Finding pants that meet my size and aesthetic requirements felt impossible until I ordered a dress pant and suit combo from Kirrin Finch. I am so happy I made the investment. These linens are perfect.
Suit arrived nicely and came with a garment bag for travel. If you’re shot like me, you’ll want to go to a local tailor and got everything nicely trimmed up for my body just right. He also took in my jacket to fit me better. But all in all once it’s on, this suit makes me feel like a million bucks! Thanks Kirrin Finch for a great suit option!
I ordered a size larger based on my measurements at first and ended up returning them for a size smaller. They are too long (as expected) and too baggy in the tummy region. However, a perfect fit in the hips and legs. Overall, a great purchase and overall experience!
Just received my linen pants and they are a perfect fit. Every purchase from Kirrin Finch has filled my closet with lesbian joy and pride.
