How does the "Gunmetal charcoal gray" differ from "Solid dark charcoal gray"? My concern is a suit that looks too much like black--my aim is a medium grey.
They're actually quite close, but the gunmetal has a very slight bluish tint to it and is a solid, whereas the charcoal is a melange - ever so slightly heathered. Neither is even close to black.
Are there any plans to offer odd trousers and sport coats in the Benjamin line? I would be all over some solid colored odd trousers.
Yes - we'll have solid navy and black by the end of Summer and also have tan and medium gray for the Fall. Right now we do have the gunmetal and charcoal in both flat front and a single reverse pleat. We also plan to have a navy blazer before the year's end.
For those of you interested, we just got in over 300 pair A.Testoni - mostly if not all current season. All shoes are $299.99 and free US shipping (code JULYSHIPP)!
Considering the purchase of one of the few Valentino suits left standing.
To the SF general audience:
-Any comments from those who've purchased one of these Valentino Roma suits? Obvious questions: fit, construction, quality, etc.
just got the valentino, the jacket is a close fit, along the lines of D&G, slightly larger than a RLBL and maybe a little tighter than Z zegna, for comparison. the pants fits like my z zegna pants.
i've got me an athletic build/cyclist legs and i'm a large man (45 chest 39 pants), don't find the pants to be a prob, but that's just me..
oh, and the silhouette, i think, is more conservative than a z zega or a D&G. a good sharp suit.
We just closed a deal with Belvest - will be receiving the shipment later next week along with a great selection of Brunello Cucinelli -mostly outerwear pieces that are absolutely phenomenal! Stay tuned....
Definitely will have some 48's in Cucinelli *which tend to run short and trim), but does not appearl we'll get any 38S in Belvest. Mostly Regs and some Longs according to the invoice.
The facebook account paid off (well kinda). Upon seeing a post, I clicked through and found an Isaia jacket on sale < $400. With the style forum discount, shipping was free. So your social media strategy has helped you acquire a customer! Now we shall see about this Base 240 G model cut.

ben - any discount codes comin' up? that zegna 38s cashmere overcoat looks beautiful...
Sorry - we're not expecting any further discount codes any time soon. In fact, you may have noticed that we haven't done any discount codes since this past January. Instead we are marking down certain items on sale, and offering free shipping every now and then.
These Zegna cashmere coats are fantastic. They are CURRENTLY in Saks and Bergdorf (and I'm sure other places as well) for $3,495. Same exact coat - I was in Saks last night and Bergdorf 2 weeks ago and saw them myself.
i don't know whether this is the appropriate place, but I bought one of those Valentino sweaters and quality and service were fantastic. Ordered Thursday and delivered Saturday.
