     Yeah... mine came in cheaper this way too (about $75). I wasn't going to say anything until I had it in my hands, though.

     Doesn't appear on my regular Platinum Card offers either.

    Didn't see this pop up last night and by 9am this morning the black Mr. Porter JE denim was sold out in my size (32). I've been looking for exactly this item for a while now and i'm pretty disappointed to have missed it. Would you guys think that a 33 could be taken in to the 32 waist size...

     That was good advice! I appreciate it.

     Thank you. I just saw that they got those back in and was about to place an order with them, but Xhibition emailed me that they were now willing to give me 40% off of the pair I have in-hand. The changed tag attachment really leads me to believe that these were worn and not mis-made, so...

     The vendor wouldn't budge on their offer so they are going back. If anyone sees a pair of Plumas in 32 come back in stock at XXXX (vendor name removed since I decided to keep the pair - see post 23421) in the next few days it will likely be this pair. As I packaged them back up I also...

    Thanks for the opinions on my Plumas problem, everyone. I'm going to see if they can do better on the discount they are offering to keep them since I think they are going to have a hard time finding a home for these as-is. As far as I can tell they were already returned one (this would be the...

     And that's exactly my concern with keeping them. This particular retailer was definitely out of stock in 32s two weeks ago and then suddenly 32 was restocked. Looks to me like someone returned this pair. Did they wear them and stretch them out before returning? Or did they return...

    WWSFD? I ordered the last pair of Plumas that I could find anywhere in my size (32) from the only vendor that had them. When they arrived they are noticeably stretched out in the upper half and definitely do not fit me right. I have Harlots and Zincs, so I know the JE Cast 2 fit in my size...

     Looks like it might already be up on Saks.com. You can't filter by designer and find it, but if you search the site for "John Elliott" it will be at the very end of the results.

    KITH had the marled Kake in their Manhattan store yesterday afternoon. It was tagged at $425. Its a substantial, heavy fabric, but it was a bit rough / stiff. Its not for me, but it's definitely something different.

     The Villain is a much slimmer fit (JE calls it a "slim fit" themselves) than the Kake, which is advertised as being "slightly oversized". I wear a large in Villains and a medium Kake is perfect.

     Exactly the same here. Skipped the white skittles... was on the fence about white, but the raw hem made my decision easier. It's just not for me. Ordered the Harlot and Plumas to see in person. Will likely keep one... maybe both.
