Why is NeedEssentials 2.5mm short arm good, alright, annoying or shit?:
Excellent for the price and quality, it did have a seam that tore under the armpit but once repaired it was fine.
To be honest for spring to summer suit quality isn’t as critical as it is for a winter suit but the N.E suit is flexible, comfortable and has been good for the last 3-4 years
How is the fit, now that you’re not the spring chicken you obviously once were?:
Still very stretchy and a good fit
Would you buy another when this one falls apart?:
Probably, but could be worth shopping around in the sales for a last year suit from other brands (again spring suits like the NeedEssentials 2.5mm won’t be subject to the same abuse as winter suits)
Any other comments?:
A good suit and happy with it for a few years now.
