    Does CT stil have 50% off? Anyone have code?

    I have trolled through a bunch of posts and can't figure it out, but perhaps I have become search function impaired by not having hing around here for a while. Does anyone know if CT still does their 50% new customer thing? If so, anyone have the latest code?

    Sterlingwear Peacoats $75.00!

    My sizing experience generally runs counter to the SF norms. I agree that RL dress shirts, for instance, are incredibly full through the body, but I find their sweaters to fit much more snugly while everyone else calls them huge. Maybe sizes run truer as they get larger? I'm 6'-0, 200 lbs and...

    Jantzen suit question - what are the odds this will end well?

    Did they mention the turnaround time for your new suit? Honestly, no, I didn't ask, but in retrospect, given the difficulties people have had getting shirts, that is very likely to bite me in the a**. Somehow I had gotten the impression it would not take very long, but I can't tell you why. We...

    Jantzen suit question - what are the odds this will end well?

    I called a few minutes ago. They asked for my last order number, which I did not have. They then asked for my last name, and proceeded to quote me my first name, as well as the color and pattern of the suit I bought. I told them I wanted the same thing in Navy Blue with a slightly lighter weight...

    Jantzen suit question - what are the odds this will end well?

    If the changes needed are anything like they were when I was there in person, I am pretty sure they can be handled by a competent tailor here once it is done, and I will have avoided any back and forth nonsense while still coming out on top in terms of expense. As for measurements, I will call...

    Jantzen suit question - what are the odds this will end well?

    I was thinking about that. Wondering if it would be better to send the fabric or let them use theirs. I figured that they might be more amenable to doing it if they got to use their own fabric.

    Jantzen suit question - what are the odds this will end well?

    Last time I was in HK I had a bunch of shirts made at Jantzen, along with one suit. The suit is by far the best bang for my buck I have ever encountered. I like the fit, and the material has held up well. I would like to have another one made... Here is my thought. I have a blue suit that I...

    Any CT 50% off codes around?

    I got the e-mail with the 50% off in-store, but they say 50% off full price. Used to be able to get 50% off the current ticketed price, which was always discounted off the full, by using one of these codes. That would put the price of one of their three button suits down to about $250. Anyway...

    How can I treat moldy shoes?

    I don't think Tarmac meant for the shoes to be wet when put in the sun. Just that the sunlight and heat would help to clean the mold. I can't imagine that leaving a pair of shoes in the sun for a few hours would hurt them any more than wearing them in the sun for a few hours. Now if they are...

    How can I treat moldy shoes?

    I have searched and seen discussions of treating outside mold and internal smell, but not internal mold. ... Wore a pair of CT semi-brogues in the torrential rain last week, they were soaked, inside and out. Took them off, and put newspaper inside for a while (several hours to overnight, I...

    Are LS Mens Clothing jackets fused? n/t

    If you are considering a suit, consider a step up from the base fabric. Got a standard Navy Blue suit. One year of wear, not even weekly, and the fabric just wasn't holding up. To top it all off, a few days ago I noticed that the crotch had worn out to the point that there are now holes in the...

    Was I ripped off by Men's Wearhouse?

    Maybe you should post pictures and everyone here can tell you how great it looks or hold their tounge, if that would make you feel better about your purchase. (Not a risk I would run, but....) The bottom line, echoed here by most, is that you liked what you bought. Don't let the anonymous...

    Where can I find in-expensive grosgrain belts?

    TJ Maxx and Marshalls are probably the right idea. J.Crew has been hit or miss, and while J.Press sounds good for 29.50, I would rather 3 for the price of one. Funny, I am now seeking out the kind of clothes my mother wanted me to wear when I was a kid and I would throw a fit about. I mean...

    Where can I find in-expensive grosgrain belts?

    I have decided that I like the bit of color that the grosgrain belt can provide during the summer, and I would like to have several different to choose from, but most I have seen are relatively expensive ($50). I have scored at outlets (J.Crew specifically) but I am wondering if there is some...

    Washing polo shirts (collars)?

    Oh, I can see why you're having problems - you need to wash the shirt and the collar separately. Put a plastic bag around the collar, making sure that the seal is tight. Wash the shirt. Hang dry. Next, put a big plastic bag around the shirt, leaving the collar exposed. Wash again, and hang-dry.
