Kent and Curwen London Flagship

[williat7]

Just had a chat with a friend / clothing adviser of mine and Kent and Curwen are opening a flagship store which he is going to manage. Showed me the test website I think it looks great.
What are your thoughts?

Just posted this over at AA, but I like this jacket:

Who makes their suits? And how's the quality?

Thanks for the link -- this shop looks very interesting. What is the pricing like?

That is a great jacket. Is the pic from their site? P.s. thanks for the recommendations re:linen shirts (over at AAAC - I grabbed two, they are pretty good for the price)

Cool, a throwback to the Peacock Revolution.
Dig the shirt and white brogues.

Yes, I took a screenshot and cropped out the rest of the page.

Quite welcome. They're certainly as nice as the offerings at J. Crew and Banana Republic, at a fraction of the price. Did you happen to get one in blue? My store doesn't stock the color, and I wonder if it looks as nice in real life as it does on the Web site.

Blue? They only had white and "natural"
Hmm...

Check out the light blue on the ON site. Looks very nice.

I kind of regret not ordering one when they were marked down to $16. The shipping put me off, and I'd hoped to get one locally. But then there weren't any at the store.

Think my mate said the suits for Kent & Curwen are made by Durban in Italy. Don't know much about them - Anyone?

You must really like them, to keep including their web address in your posts.

actually it's d'urban. if it is d'urban, it's a japanese company that i believe has their manufacturing concern in italy. the brand is quite popular among gentlemen in hongkong, taiwan and japan.
