    Hickey freeman suits

    Gilt also has HF on there at least 4 times a year, they always look like the Vanguard line as they are flat front and trimmer looking. They usually go for $300-$400ish on there and they are not the LTD line, which is the outlet brand (even still not a bad suit for $300 compared to what you see...

    HICKEY Suits (not Hickey Freeman, but the hickey line) Question

    The retail price is irrelevant, no one is buying Hickey suits at full price. You can sometimes get the Madison line suits at that price if you shop around, and they are worth it. I don't think the Hickey suits are half canvassed. The ones I remember seeing in person had heavily padded shoulders...

    HICKEY Suits (not Hickey Freeman, but the hickey line) Question

    Good to know about the slim fit. I picked up a Hickey suit in Gilt a few days ago for $499. It should arrive today. Yes, I saw those as well. I went with Blue Fly and paid the "insurance" to be able to return the suits. They jacket is very slim fitting to me. However, I am somewhat of a bigger...

    HICKEY Suits (not Hickey Freeman, but the hickey line) Question

    No Syms/Filene's Basement stores in your area? I was able to find two nice Hickey Freeman Madison suits (one 130's Loro Piama) for $400 each ($499 + 20% sale through 2/14). So better bargains are possible. I'm certainly no expert though. I think I need to dig through the Filene's Basement...

    HICKEY Suits (not Hickey Freeman, but the hickey line) Question

    I completely disagree. $540 a suit is a good price because they retail for over $1000+. Also, the fit on these is great for slimmer people. They are also half canvassed and have great workmanship. I've also heard that the hickey line is getting axed so you're lucky to snatch up a few of these...

    HICKEY Suits (not Hickey Freeman, but the hickey line) Question

    I think it's too high. They can usually be had for less, but I haven't seen any on the B&S in a while. They are half canvassed and extra-slim fitting. There are a ton of threads on here about hickey suits. Thanks for the info. I dug around for a few days, but most of the threads are dated or...

    HICKEY Suits (not Hickey Freeman, but the hickey line) Question

    I just purchased two hickey (not Hickey Freeman, but hickey) suits from Bluefly.com during their latest Blue Sale. I spent about $540 per suit. Is this a decent value? The suits look good and fit well, but I can't find any significant information on the line. I am a total novice at judging the...

    HELP: Trousers pilling and wearing through

    If its of any help, I found that boxer briefs radically increased this type of wear on trousers. If you wear them, switch to something else. Immediately. You are wearing the suit very hard. 'Two months' sounds fast '45 wearings' less so. Is that right? I have these types of problems, and I...

    Business Dress Shirts – The 12 Essentials

    After going through this process, I don't think you want to put as many constraints on yourself as you indicate. I would do this: Batch 1: 2 light blue, 1 white, 1 other. Batch 2: 2 light blue, 1 white, 1 other. Batch 3: 2 light blue, 2 other. I would have a vague idea of what you want, and...
