House of Carrington

Has anyone ever heard of "House of Carrington"? In particular the Andrew Carrington line.

I'm interested but I haven't a clue in regards to this brand.

Thanks so much!

I have one of their shirts I bought from a store in Oklahoma City. The owner of that store told me they were some ex-Ralph Lauren employees who decided to try their own line.

I have no idea what level of veracity that tale holds.

The shirt, itself, was about what you'd expect for a $100-ish retail shirt. Nothing spectacular.

Website has no pictures of their clothes that I could find.

Rather strange website in truth. Says a lot without saying much of anything.

I noticed on its "Event Calendar" the most recent dates are in 2009.

I suspect it's no longer a going concern.

Well I hope this helps in terms of pics:

Frieschkys is selling quite a few of these items in their ebay store.

I just received pants from the eBay seller Frieschskys. I decided to give them a go because of the reasonable price and gorgeous tweed fabric. The pants are from Carrington's Sartoriale line and feature horn buttons, proper seam allowances, nicely folded waistband pleats, great wool material, soft cotton pockets and clean buttonholes. I've never seen this maker's clothes on stores, but I'm sure the stated RRP of around $400 is fairly accurate. These are great pants.

Will you, please, compare them with other brands, that you have in your wardrobe?
Can you comment on their fit?

^Fit is slimmer than your average. Not skinny, but slimmer. These are not hand-sewn, there's not much to compare other than the fabric and finishing. Both are great.
