Picked it up from men.style.com. Free shipping to start. I'm guessing that for us in the US, it'll also be tax-free.

Any pieces look good to anyone? I'm considering a pair of trousers (I picked up a pair of cords overseas that I rather liked and gave them up after losing some weight). Some of the smart belts also look alright to me.

I thought the general concensus was that most of this stuff is not worth it. I like some of the canvas shoes and maybe some outerwear.

Everything looks pretty meh. It's like American Apparel, except they make shoes and work appropriate pants too. Some of the Plimsols look interesting, but for $50 no thanks.

I like some of the outerwear - the peacoat and the wool longline, the herringbone bomber and someo the trenches. Prices are pretty cheap - are they so crappy that they're not worth the low price?

I like the looks of the pea coat. Anyone have experience with Topman quality and fit?

Many of the suit jackets have sleeves longer than the body, a bit extreme, it seems. The shoes seem nice, the suede oxfords and ankle boot, if you like that look. It's nice to have a local Loake dealer, even if PLAL sells the same stuff for $60 cheaper. I don't know about extra costs with them, though.

Topman quality sucks. I have a couple of their jeans with crooked stitches. Another guy I know has a pair where the rivets fell off.

I'm not trusting the sneakers one bit, I'd much rather buy the genuine article and not some knockoff. Also, I'm slowly beginning to lose interest in graphic tees after what i saw on the site.

Having said that, I'm obsessed with the long sleeve y-necks as well as the cardigans, they'll definately be up on my x-mas list this year.

^+1. I found that interesting. I ordered two days ago with free shipping from the UK and it's noticably cheaper. The exchange rate was 1 : $1.77 when I ordered but from what I see they're pricing it 1:2.

Oh well. It'll be nice to have something to tide me over for dress clothes until Get Smart starts his MTM program.

About the quality: I hardly think of Topman as a source for wardrobe cornerstones but more as an alternative to H&M and Zara -- low-cost well-fitting clothing suitable for casual wear and the occasional business setting.

I guess I missed the offer when they were priced in GBP but offering free shipping to the US. Alas, I would've probably sprung for a belt and scarf.

@ Kill the DJ: what did you order? Are you satisfied with it?
