GQ identifies it as PRL but it's advertised in the magazine as Black Label. http://www.gq.com/fashion-shows/brief/S2010MEN-RLMEN/ Trends: More double breasted stuff PLEATS! Cowboy theme and 2.5 roll for Black Label More wider lapels LOTS of 3-peices! (I love it!)

Other than the bright shirts and look-at-me ties, I like it.

I like the majority of the suits, I tried on the linen double breasted dark blue pinstripe at one of the stores, i really like it.

Still not fond of the big lapels.

I'm hoping they trend away from it after this, most of the big lapel stuff was left alone in the princeton store, so I dont think its caught on much.

Agreed, i like polo and purple label.

Polo is my work horse, but I'm started to crave a lot of the purple label line. There are alot of subtle details that are really worked out well in the purple label line.

Polo has me hooked on the suits, double pleated trou, slim but not tight, and moderate details.

You're the last person I thought would be wearing pleats.

I like them for suit pants, because I think they look better with braces which i wear with suits.

For casual pants I prefer flat fronts.

I've been listening to 'Psycho Killer' for the past couple days, and 'Wild Wild Life'. I enjoy the BL suit that I own, but probably wont buy another. It holds its position as my go-to after-hours suit, which is actually the purpose of BL. I feel that one is enough. Srivats, Love the shawl collar as well!
