Really like the look of the suit, and when the waistcoat is actually in stock, would love to have a 3-piece option. Price seems decent.

Only detractor is no belt loops!! I'm a creature of habit, and I just don't know that I could wear suspenders. Hell, I don't even own a pair. Would lack of belt loops be a deal killer for anyone else, or am I that crazy?

You're crazy. I know that a belt is a point of interest as it breaks up the flow in a person's outfit buy my pants in the proper size which means I don't need a built. I used to wear them all the time, sometimes to hold my pants up but mostly for aesthetics but I stopped a few years ago. It's totally fine to not wear a belt in my opinion.

Order the trousers unfinished, or about 3" longer than you actually need.

Voila, enough material for your tailor to make belt loops.

I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a tyrwitt suit.

That being said, I actually perfer Braces to belts. I love the look and it just feels better.

I wish more of my suits had them, but it's a matter of preference I suppose.

It doesn't have belt loops because it's a 3-piece; you should not be wearing a belt at the same time as a waistcoat. Though some loops could be handy for if you wanted to wear it without the waistcoat.

never, ever buy anything from CT other than shirts unless you really know what you are doing i.e special purchases etc

You cannot trust CT pricing as an indicator of quality since they are in a 365 days sales company, i.e. they are out to cheat you with a misleading price structure. Shirts OK, but never spend more than, say $50 on one -at the very most. Do that and life will be good

I believe the black labels are half-canvassed, and at that price, thats not bad.

i have two CT suits...the standard twill units. They are really not bad at all for the price they charge.

I just dropped 300 dollars on CT dress shirts. I'm a first time CT buyer. I ordered online, so I hope the fit is true and the quality is a good as it looked on my monitor.

That's a neat idea.

It seems like you like the suit and want to buy it; I say go for it.
