Anyone tried Bonobos.com?

[shasta]

Just bought my 12th pair today! And now, they are moving away from the boot cut fit which I know will sit well with many on this forum.

If you're looking to try them out - basically it's a risk free proposition - shipping is free both ways and returns are accepted at any time - even if you've worn, altered, or even washed them.

PM me and I can get you a handsome discount on your first order if you're interested.

I just want to see these guys succeed - met the co-founder in person at a trunk show, and I'm sold on these guys!

He is very on touch with what their demographic wants in their clothing. Classic clothing with an updated fit. Hence the swim trunks that dont have an elastic band at the top so they billow out.

The polos are out now. I received my early bird package on Monday, I ordered all six colours. The quality is absolutely fantastic: very soft pima cotton, excellent work, nice slim fit, but not too slim. And for me above all: No stupid label on the chest! Just a small B on the placket either in the same colour as the shirt or in a contrast colour. Up to you, I chose fitting colour of course. The price is absolutely amazing. USD 69 or only 40 if you take 6 at a time. When I compare the quality/price with my Lacostes I will never ever buy a Lacoste shirt again. Their quality is mediocre and the price is ridiculous.

I like how their website contradicts the entire accumulated knowledge of the twentieth century by claiming that no man should wear pleated or tapered-leg trousers. Good thing the Prince of Wales never read Bonobos.com

I am definitely happy about their move away from boot cut pants. It's unprofessional to wear them at a conservative office I like the thigh taper and the straight leg cut. The pants drape over 1/4 to 1/3 of the shoe. I don't like the extreme taper of some slim fit pants. They don't break properly and show too much shoe. Sometimes, the taper will even show your socks or ankles.

i've heard a lot of great things about them

 

[liamg4life]

just saw their today show special. really interested in buying something now

I have a few pairs - cords in a few colors, and a couple of wools in grey and brown. Their light cords are really light, which is nice for DC warmer days. I've been quite happy with the fit and quality, and their customer service is pretty amazing.

had my eye on their pants for a while and am ordering my first pair. will report soon

For sure. Who would ever feel comfortable saying their pants are from Bozos? Hopefully they didn't pay some ad firm big bucks to come up with that FAIL name.

i feel perfectly comfortable saying i have a bunch of pants from them that are great. The straight legs fit very well

 

[thsmthcrmnl]

I have a pair of their straight-leg wool trousers and the outseam started coming undone at the pocket after wearing them maybe 7 or 8 times.

Excuse the newbie question, but for those who say that the pants fit well at the waist but balloon out at the leg, couldn't you just get a tailor to slim them out? I was under the impression that a competent tailor could fix something like that.

Thome Browne suits are professional?? As a lawyer, I'd be thrown out of court or severely shamed for wearing such suits. I'm still trying to grasp the applicabitlity of TB outside the runway setting....simply ridiculous.
