Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I'm going to pull the trigger. Sounds like true to size is the way to go if you like a slim cut.

Thoughts on Trussardi 1911? These jackets look nice.

It's definitely a one-hit wonder. I accidentally found these Zegna XXX Couture monks for $100. Been checking craigslist every so often ever since, but weren't able to find anything worthy.

I posted a pair of C&J Cliffords from Craigslist a couple weeks ago

How long is the jacket from boc?

Does Yoox ever have long sizes?

The Brooks Brothers sale is on, but whenever I try to check out I get an error message after about a minute of waiting. Are other people able to place orders?

Update: Never mind, worked from Internet Explorer for whatever reason.
