That picture is wholly useless. I don't know what you are trying to show but the jacket has open quarters so the buttons are not supposed to line up.

I wasn't implying anything by posting the photo, but was just trying to get an understanding of what NS1 was referring to a few post above regarding the button alignment with the center of the tie knot. Not saying that he correct or incorrect since I'm just trying to understand the situation.

I'll bother because if there is a fault with the product then I think eHaberdasher and everyone else will want to know. I can't identify the issue you are talking about so If I post additional pictures and no one else can see what you are referring to then perhaps it's just you. So, ignore the bad pictures (it's really much harder than some of the gents on here make it look) and ignore the pants from another suit.





I'm really looking and, for the life of me, I just can't make out what to look out for in these, or OMM's picture.

Ben,
Apologies if you have already mentioned this...but when do you expect to have a restock of the Benjamin pants? Also, can you confirm what size pants ship with the 40r classico suit?...those fit me perfectly.

Ben -- will you include a brown jacket with the new Benjamin sport coats? And do you have an ETA on when those might arrive?


I don't have the swathes readily available in front of me - I'm in NJ for 3 days - when I get back I'll try to scan them all in so you guys can see what's coming. I'm sure there's some kind of brown in there - no solid brown though if that's what you're asking.

As far as ETA - no promises but hopefully by December for the sport jackets.

Seeing as how we're so close in physical stature, and having gone through your situation already, I'd be curious to see how a 36S looks on you as well. What's your chest measurement?

I'll be trying the 36S sometime this week so I can compare the fitment between the two sizes, hopefully it may fit me better. My chest measurement is 37.25 to 37.50, shoulder is 17.50 to 17.75 measured from the back straight across.

No prob. Only thing is we only have the Granoro, which is pretty much the same as the Classico in a 43/44R. Main difference is that the trousers are just slightly fuller in the Classico. There is at least 1.5" to let out the waist of the trousers. Did you need to swap for size larger or smaller? Regardless you can email [email protected] and Mike or Colleen can assist you and confirm that we can or cannot do the swap.


Ben--will you have 43/44R Dark Navy Classico suits in the shipment you expect to arrive in the next week or two?

For all you Tom Ford fanatics we just put up a few select pieces (all e48R except for one ridiculously awesome cashmere coat in e54R)!

Yeah, my chest size is the same; I don't know my shoulder measurement although I can't imagine it being much different. Look forward to hearing how it goes with the 36S

Hello Ben.
I'm wondering which model of your suit is the slimmest? Granoro or Lucente or anything else. I'm looking for one of your slimmest suit 36S solid navy or navy stripes.
Thank you.

Lucente, Granoro and Classico are all pretty much the same fit - the Lucente is cut slightly longer in the body and has a slightly higher button stance. The Classico has slightly fuller trousers - but only by 1/2". Hope that helps.

Sample of the new Napoli model

I had functional sleeves done and the sleeve buttons were inadvertently sewn on at a slight angle to give a trumpeted effect to the sleeve cuffs, so please overlook that - they will not be that wide at the cuff.

That's a cool fabric. Will this be available in a 38L?
