I think ernest is a nutter, but I will agree with him, firstly he got very good prices and secondly I do not think that people on this board should comment on others financial situations, be they rich or poor. Hint toward people who have this obsessive nature of disproving I am Mittal.Wool (fused) = 800 euros
Super 120 = 1 200 euros
Super 150 = 1 650 euros
Wool = 1 200 euros
I paid 30% of theses prices.
WHO could say I should not have taken them? Â Does this guy pay his garment with 70% discount?
1 dollar or euro more than one needs is an unnecessary and hence a poor purchase.Wool (fused) = 800 euros

I respectfully disagree. Clothing purchases, like many items we purchase, ought not be viewed soley on the basis of necessity. Many of our clothing purchases are, frankly, matters of indulgence. If we looked only at necessity, a simple $100.00 discount store suit would meet most of our needs.On that now locked thread, it mentioned that Ernest is unemployed. Even if they are good prices, the question is should he buy them if he's not currently employed and has no need to wear a suit.
Ernest, what is your profession and how old are you are? The answer to this will determine whether or not you should have bought these suits.

Johnny made a valid point stating that to project so far into the future and so extensively just because its a good by is perhaps silly as styles change, tastes change, financial positions change etc... Bargains can always be found when one is willing to try. Your recent interview attire attests to that. A good deal out of something is not and should not only be based on price but practicality and if someone is not working and sees no work in sight is not practical. Even if we are to say that it serves to satisfy some inner drive and gives pleasure, still we must again evaluate the purchase based on what need it fills. At some point we agree that the purchase of items to satisy one inner needs and not serving any particular practical needs are problematic and need to be dealt with. In plain terms, as one who drinks alchohol for pleasure can cross over to alchoholism, so to the purchase of clothing not for inherently practical reasons can be problematic as well. And to quote you Marc... Just MHOI have 20 suits, 14 new + 6 used (soon dead) I do not need them, for THE MOMENT... What do you propose ? Buying nothing because I do not work for the moment but buying 5 suits when I will need them a the double price and get them used very quickly because I wear them often? Sorry, I prefer making a bargain when I can it because it may not be here when I will need it in x mounths. One calls this : "to project in the future" Is there an age to have more than 5 suits? I think interest in clothing is going less important when you already have had many suits in your life @ 40 years...
I said I was unemployed because I have nothing to hide. Nevertheless, I think what I do with MY money is not your business and I do not understand why your are only talking about this and not about my suits... Perhaps jealousy to see someone who has enough money to buy what he likes without working because of the french system while you can not because of stinginess, poor income or fear about future? Can I remind you that this forum is talking about clothes, style and NOT about financial situation or subjacent moral you are talking about (what to buy if you do not work). I was working in a derivative back-office (suit EVERY days) and I am 30 year old. What is your conclusion? Please check my last suit by Lanvin I bought today and give me your opinion about fabrics (not about my style of life) :On that now locked thread, it mentioned that Ernest is unemployed.

ThanksI like your suits ernest, you have a good style in that respect, too bad that is not carried to watches.
Amazing price, and also that pinstripe is a very nice suit. Too bad you now have repeat suits, I have done that many times, it is very annoying.I also bought the blue twill today so I have the same suit twice now....
The pinstripe suit you see is 1 300 euros, I paid it 390 euros.
What costs 390 euros?
- two 7 fold ties from Lanvin
- 1 fashion trousers from Versace or some desiner's ****
- a shirt from Kiton
Well who is wasting his money?
