Dior Homme, Balenciaga, Ann D suit sizes?

[CactusArmy]

Hi I'm just wondering about how various suits or jackets in those brands fit? I usually wear a size 48 in normal suits but I think it might be just a tiny tad big for me. I'm a 46cm from one shoulder to the other, not seam measurements but actual shoulders.

So what size should I get I was to get a blazer in either of those brands?

thanks

Post this question on Style Forum or Ask Andy Forum. Both are better forums for questions regarding suits.

Heh, regarding Balenciaga, you're probably a 52 or something arbitrary like that. Balenciaga's men's sizing is all over the place, it really makes no sense. Unless you can get good, proper measurements or can try Balenciaga in person, don't bother. SRSLY

Dior is cut pretty slim in the shoulders and narrow in the arms, but more or less cut to size nowadays. I'm a 48 in Costume National, Helmut Lang, etc. This works for Dior as well. Keep in mind I'm talking about the last 2~ seasons of suits and etc, I've been told/read that earlier Dior suits were cut much slimmer.

Not sure about Ann D, but I imagine it would follow the slimmer profiles in fit...
