Bloomingdales regarding the product shots last season but looks like the message was lost in translation. The biggest challenge with their selling online is that they shoot our samples ahead of time, which are NEVER sampled in the models they order, as opposed to waiting until they receive their own order. Its important to know this going in. For spring they ONLY have the tipo. This will change back to the balthazar starting next fall.By the by, has anyone seen this suit in person or own it?
I grabbed the last 46R from the bloomingdale's website; the price was virtually impossible to pass up.
However, the way it's buttoned on the model in addition to the description listing the jacket as both unlined and fully canvased, concern me. (The pants are also listed as unlined). I wonder if the description is accurate.
Any details would be appreciated, though it should arrive at my home in about a week.
Is it possible for something to be duly underrated?
All our 3 button jackets are 3/2 roll. I spoke with

In reference to unlined and fully canvassed, the two have nothing to do with each other. I don't own a single piece of lined tailoring and its all full canvas.

How heavy is the fabric on the brown herringbone suit. I doubt any will be around when I head out to San Francisco next week, but curious anyway.
Brown remains, I think, unduly underrated as a color for suits/SCs.

What's the main difference between Isaia and Eidos? I understand that they're both canvassed, but what explains the $2k (roughly) difference in price.
Awesome stuff btw.

I would think so. A hard 3?
If you're saying that hard 3s just suck and that's why they're rated low, then they are not underrated. They're just deservedly rated low. AFAIK underrated always implies that the thing described deserves to be rated higher.
I've been wearing the Ulster coat – from last season, I believe – which looks indistinguishable from the coat shown above other than the fact that the Ulster falls below the knee for most people, for about a week now.
For those who are considering the item, I'd say that the styling and fabric is quite good for the price (~$1100 MSRP) and the coat fits true to size at the shoulders. However, the canvassing is quite light and the 500g fabric is appropriate only for above freezing weather with a sweater or a jacket inside. There is no allowance to lengthen the sleeves, so the tailor has to add fabric to make the alteration. And the collar is not stiff enough to be worn raised, as shown above.
