There's still almost NOTHING good there. Good time to pick up some Eton pocket squares.

Wow, was expecting to see shit, but there's some good stuff to be had. Caruso, especially. Prices just aren't that great. $515 for a sportcoat.

For a second, I was really excited to see the "Incotex Ivory Inside" slacks. But then I read this review:
Quote:
"Clad may be running the risk of criminal prosecution for describing these pants as "flannel" - the fabric is thin to the point of being a summer pair of trousers and almost without nap. The "Incotex" piece is also in doubt, although there is an unrecognizable label that cleverly says "Incotex Inside." If so, I can't see where that is. I own about 20 other pair of "real" incos and none of the standard detailing - pick stitching, curtained and spilt waistband, belt keeper loop, etc. - is present.

These things are poorly made and, worst of all, look cheap even sitting in the box. Instant return - save the time. I would give them a negative star rating if possible."

Incotecx Ivory is not real Incotex. Slowear licensed a Canadian outfit the name. Guess Slowear had dreams of diminishing its brand like Armani, etc.

Best thing they have: a Caruso suit in charcoal tonal stripes for about $500:

There are some other deals. Trafalgar belts at $20, for instance. Hickey Freeman shirt at $50. Free shipping, too.

I think select by category is buggered, for instance Pants only returns a few items. One's better off selecting by Brand.

Biggest drawback is no detailed measurements anywhere. Just dumb. Deserve to get shut down.

I was just looking at that and another Caruso suit. Based on that info about the fake Incotex, I wonder whether the suits are also some inferior diffusion stuff.

Just got my hickey freeman chocolate flannel trousers in the mail. Although obviously not as thick and nice as my Preston flannels from RL, I'm still pretty happy with these. Especially for $74 with free shipping. there are some good deals here. HF, ds dundees, Caruso. Let's hope those persols drop.

I picked up the Spurr peacoat, my one and only purchase. I finally found my perfect peacoat.
