Got excited for a second on that first one, though a look at the measurements (CHEST 43.75/LENGTH 32.5/SHOULDER TO SHOULDER 17.75/SLEEVE 26.75) would indicate that it is more likely a 40L. But then again the tags indicate 40L... maybe the measurements are wrong? didn't think that PRL fit extra slim.

Bradford is their slimmest model.

The Bradford does fit slim. I own one in a 44L and the measurements are:
Shoulder: 18.5
Chest: 44
Waist: 42
Sleeve: 26
Pants
Waist: 37.5
Very slim on the leg and flat fronted.
My wife says it makes me look skinny

Do you wear other brands in a 44L or 42L? Those pants would be swimming on me, but the S to S and chest size is perfect... ugh

$300 for you,no JOKE.

How about $299???..

One is a sack blazer made in usa, the other one is made in italy with better and slimmer cut and with pickstitch detail.

I usually wear a size 40R, should I size up with this? ( I am interested in the made in italy)

Thanks

 

[chrisjr]

^^ Thanks mate. I assumed the more expensive was better, especially when it's already on sale. I am intersted in the sizing as well, I'm a 41L and am going to 42L. Wish me luck.

the Lindrick boot does end being pretty similar to the Alden x Epaulet I suppose. still, I think the Lindrick is that much better than the Marlow wingtip. I guess it comes out to about $180 more or so? You can wear it in all the same situations as the shoe, but could also be a great winter boot eventually if you resoled with dainite or some low profile commando sole.
I suppose you would be slightly less likely to wear the boot vs the shoe in the summer, but I'm not sure the shoes are really perfect for the summer either

All great points...can't argue with any of this. I have really been wanting the Marlow for a while now, and I don't own any dark brown dress shoes, so this will fill a really huge gap in my rotation. And it's really difficult to find any brand new cordovan shoe for under $450, so I couldn't pass it up this time.

Although, I really do like the Lindrick too - and your description along with Spoo's pics made me want them even more, haha. I guess I'll just have to stick with the Alden x Epaulet Ravello for now (assuming those are shipped sometime soon - hopefully this year), and maybe I'll get the Lindrick during the next private sale.

What about this one... http://www.rugby.com/shop/item.aspx?productId=11259221&categoryId=11827696&cp=3768060

Is this caruso, fully canvassed?

Yes I should be, I'm going to call them later and find out for sure, but all evidence so far points to the Suits being fully canvassed

Do you know if the Italian made blazer is Caruso and fully canvassed?

 

[alexSF]

Here some pics, tag is Caruso

http://www.styleforum.net/t/144643/...so-navy-blazer-tagged-42l-slim-fits-a-40/0_20

but here there isn't machine pickstitch detail like the site.
It's a little detail but I really dislike to see this kind of stitching on a sportcoat.

Honestly can't say whether the Blazers are Caruso, I was under impression that the suits were only.. however I can see how the Made in Italy blazers can be..

I think I'll get it either way.

I usually wear 40R slim fit (38R otherwise) with a good amount of waist suppression (32 waist). Do you think 40R would fit well with Rugby suits/blazers?

406 before tax.. not too bad, puts me down a lot.. but good investment.

If a 40R slim fit fits you well already - then a 40R Rugby will be good - because the 38R is also slim...

Thanks, well, I guess I'll find out for sure in a couple days.
