Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Got the donegal in dark brown, 42R, my usual size (I'm 6-2, 190lbs). The shoulders were too wide and bulky (trending towards "m.c. hammer time" from the 1980's!). I have pretty wide shoulders, so that was surprising. Also this is really not a slim fit suit. Plenty of room and would have required significant tailoring, which would have added a lot to the cost of the jacket. So back to STP it went. The suit is made in mexico; it is fused, not canvassed (no surprise there at this price point). I thought the fabric seemed high quality although not really a donegal in my book (no variation in thread color). So a decent quality suit, but more of a classic, rather than modern cut.
