I'm not surprised people are receiving different styles/colors to what they're ordering - I went through a couple of product categories, and there's a whole bunch of photos cribbed directly from Hickey Freeman, Bluefly, Sierra Trading Post, some ShoptheFinest auctions, International Male (!), and on and on.

I guess if you order one, they just take "generic gray suit" off the top of the pile, and send you that.

It means this (from the same site):

ALREADY SELLING?
THEN WE ARE YOUR NEW SOURCE!
If you already sell Men's apparel, you'll make more money selling our suits because you can show our MensItaly.com website to your customers. Our Same products on SuitUSA.com at wholesale price to public is on sale on MensItaly.com at retail price with double and triple profit margin ... And it is more profitable for you.

In other words they have a sham site (mensITALY.com) set up so they can show a prospective buyer the same crappy suit at 2x or 3x the mensUSA price tag, thus convincing said buyer that he is getting a "deal".

And they invite you to get in on the scam too.

That tells me all I need to know about the character of these businesspeople. I would avoid them like the plague.

I fully expect to have a whiny, threatening, poorly-worded email in my inbox complaining about this thread by tomorrow morning. Carry on.

Seriously, I am dubious of this entire thread. This whole Fedora complaint sounds awfully fishy to me. I'm not entirely defending MensUSA; their BBB file reads like my college transcript. Nonetheless, why is it that some random dude would sign up for StyleForum and his second post is some random assault on a site nobody on here would go to anyways? Why does it make any sense for any salesman in any store to be such a blatant idiot? And how/why, so immediately after this post is made, would this Michael Dade guy have found it?

I'm not saying I know what's going on here, but I am saying it smells like fish.

Maybe it's a scam for MensCHINA.com where they can say "look at other website's bad reputation!! order from us nike bape supreme dunks"

I now pronounce you "Suit Nazi"

Can't you at least resize the head proportionately?

This is the most entertaining thread this week. I'm a long-time lurker and I find it hilarious when stores post on here trying to act like they are some random satisfied customer who just decided to come to this website to brag. Its priceless.

 

[fedoragent]

I got off the phone with a friend of mine up in San Francisco, and he's bought some suits in Supers from them. Had I known that, being that I love Worsteds and Gabs, I would have never gone in.

FG.

 

[Tarmac]

Seriously though, Fedoragent, I don't get it. You consider yourself a fan of fine mens suits and you buy from sites like this (and multiple suits from your comments)? What do you consider your requirements for a suit that you would buy?
