Will the new tariffs impact pricing at all on Kent Wang suits?
Thanks for asking. We always try to price our suits competitively, and have not raised suit prices in about five years. Fortunately, the September 1 tariffs do not affect our suits or overcoats. Other tariffs are scheduled to take effect on December 15. We don't know yet whether they will affect us, so we encourage you to place your orders now
Presuambly, tariffs would affect US based customers only, right?
These shawl cardigans were something we previewed a little on social media as they were being developed. We redesigned them a bunch of times before we were completely happy and the end result was well worth it. They are now in stock and live online, hope you guys like them!

Very cool. So you guys changed the stock pattern offered by that particular Canadian manufacturer? The shawl looks much wider than what they normally offer and the button stance a touch lower.
@Jesse@KentWang just some constructive criticism, but KW is leaving a large chunk of the market out in the cold (literally and figuratively) with the sizing of most of your RTW runs. Topping out at an XL at a 41/42 jacket size is pretty small and cuts out a large number of prospective buyers

KW sizing is absolutely marsupialed and a good example of not knowing your market. I have a 44 inch chest and barely fit KW XXL shirts. L should fit me just fine. Perhaps KW sizing would make sense if their customer base was primarily Asian, but it's not. 41/42 should be a M or L, not XL. It's like the opposite of vanity sizing. And it's actually kind of hilarious.
I’m a 40” chest and wear a large in plenty of brands, including our own for polos and these cardigans. Keep in mind, yes it is a slim fit, but it’s also going to have a lot of give and stretch out with wear. The measurements are taken brand new, at the smallest they will ever be.
Surely, you can't seriously be trying to equate a KW large with a large from most American brands? I get that you pseudo work for KW, so you have to downplay any criticism, even harmless, constructive criticism, but for the vast majority of American brands, a large is meant to fit 42-44 inch chests, while a medium is 38-40.
We definitely wanted that wide collar, it was key. The button stance, cuff, and bottom hem have also been redesigned.
I just buy whatever size fits me best and don’t think too much about it.
