Current Brooks Brothers "Cool Wool" Suits

[sportin_life]

Does anyone have experience with the current BB 2 for $899 "cool wool" suits: http://www.brooksbrothers.com/2-Suits-for-$899/mens-featured-2-Suits-for-$899,default,sc.html

Are they the same as the 1818 line since they are the same cuts i.e. Milano, Fitzgerald, etc. or is this a spin-off with the same cuts to compete with the likes of Suit Supply at a lower pricepoint?

Are they still half-canvassed?

Thanks!

Check out the Brooks Brothers sale thread for more info.

I just pulled the trigger on a pair of these, but I am still waiting for delivery. They are full canvas and a wool blend. There is a little polyester involved (not sure how little) that is supposed to contribute to the coolness, water resistance and wrinkle resistance. They are made in China and unlined.
