I checked it out earlier today. Pretty sure the suits were said to be canvassed and made in England. MrPorter sells Huntsman RTW which is priced at around 4k and I thought that maybe the Kingsman pieces were a rebadged Huntsman collaboration which retail for less (2400 ish).
Love the availability of DB suits in the collection and the cloths, but I'm leery about the sizing which is described as running on the small side and the already finished working cuffs which make alterations to the sleeve much more intensive.
The SAB case is nice but awfully expensive. It appears to have a machine-stitched handle, and seems identical to the model Brooks Brothers used to sell for $1500.
That case through SAB sells for GBP £2395.00 (USD $3,650.00), so the price is actually pretty good considering there is no customs duties, and free shipping with Mr. Porter.
The SAB case on their own website has some upgrades. It's a bit deceptive that it's shown with the optional ($$$) self-lining, but that aside their's still looks like it comes with a hand-stitched handle. You can tell because the hand-stitched one has a ridge that runs down the outside (top) centre. It's also larger (3.5" versus 3" for the Mr. Porter).
Also, for whatever reason the Kingsmen model is USD$300 cheaper in Canada. I suppose it's thus even more of a "deal" but it's still way off from what you used to be able to get from Brooks (I have their 4" in London Tan, and USD$3k seems crazy for what you get).
