Has anyone bought from Touch of Modern for clothing before? Just wondering your experience since they have some awesome prices for Caruso suits and jackets here: https://www.touchofmodern.com/sales/caruso-b29e6e1e-9725-48ec-963a-82c0217007fe

I thought they just sold floating mugs and wrist mounted flamethrowers.

The styling on those is comically bad.

But the prices are insane.

What's go going on here? Sun damage?

The model pics on them are atrocious. Almost one to two sizes too small based on the fact he can barely close the jackets and the biceps are about to blow up the sleeves. They are trying to make it a Jersey shore brand which it is not.

The material description and the cut looks classic Caruso though.

Trendy crap.

Yesterday’s Sharper Image is today’s Touch of Modern.

I took a leap of faith and ordered on 2/26 for a double breasted jacket and a 2 piece suit. Both came in Caruso branded hangers and still had the tag and extra button pouch included, and both are slimmer drop 8 models. Both also have milanese lapel buttonholes and boutonniere loop.

The jacket was pristine, but the suit however appeared to have a stain (chocolate or some type of soil stain) - I was a bit taken back at first but hey, reminded myself that I paid ~ 200 bucks for a brand new Caruso suit which is rarely available for that price.
