I love the jacket I purchased from joel cairo and would love to find a chu suit in the $350 range similar to the 44r sold here today. I have access to C21 and haven't seen one there, there is filenes in nyc and then there's the saks consolidation sale...if anyone wants to post or pm me with best bets, I'd appreciate it...or have these moved through the marketplace at this point?

tia,
vp

I know STP has some Chu suits, you might check there. It will probably come to a bit more than 350 w/ a coupon, but not much more. Keep in mind, though, that the one you got was from Chu's very top tier (retail $1295), so ones with lower MSRPs will presumably be lesser in other ways too. Someone on here recently posted about returning a Chu to STP that felt like "cardboard." As you and I know, that's not a charge anyone could levy against the glen plaid coat you got, so tread carefully.

thanks (and thanks again for the wonderful jacket). I had read the posts about stp and didn't order from them for that reason when they had the 30% coupon.

The folks at c21 said they might get some in their next shipment and I'm in that area quite a bit so perphaps checking back now and again is the right idea...
