Ralph Lauren Store Cheap Suits (Philly)

[musicguy]

Just got back from the Philadelphia RL store and found the suits they had on sale are 80% off. I got this suit in a dark charcoal stripe in 40L for $399.50. There was a black double-breasted 40L in the store at the same price. I will have it altered, but from my quick try on it's at least a half canvassed suit, probably fully canvassed.

That suit you linked is a Black Label, made by Caruso, and should be fully canvassed.

Are you talking the downtown RL store or the King of Prussia store?

 

[musicguy]

The downtown RL store. Yes, it definitely seemed fully canvassed.

 

[lee_44106]

Good deal, nice find.

Is this nationwide? Anyone know about the Mansion?

I was at KOP recently. They had nothing.

The Philly store only has 40L and 44L left.

I just walked by the Philly store within the last hour. I'm glad to read that they don't have a 40R left, otherwise I'd feel obligated to go back and spend more money that I don't necessarily need to spend.

That's a great deal.

I'm very jealous, as I really want a Black Label suit and missed out on the Gilt Groupe sale.

I guess I should check my local Ralph Lauren store.

 

[musicguy]

Yeah, I'm really happy to be getting such an awesome suit!

for a very short amount of time, anything from fall/winter at ralph lauren stores is an additional 50% off

I was just there this afternoon. I bought a fully canvased Blue label, originally priced at $1,895 for $379.50 in a 38R. They have some larger stuff left (44) but the pickings are slim. It's paid for, but I'm going to let them hold on to it for a bit while I mull it over. I do need a better fitting suit, but is it a good deal?

edit: the fit is almost perfect off the rack. Only alteration would be the pants.

 

[yerrow]

so the coat fits "perfectly" off the rack?

if so you're lucky

 

[sartort]

Good deal on a fully canvassed blue label. That's going to be really hard to beat, esp. if the fit is good.

 

[andrzejpw]

Yeah, the fit was pretty much dead on. Both my more knowledgeable friend and the SA agreed. I'm a bit confused though, as from reading here it seems like the Blue label stuff was (is?) all fused and made by corneliani. I feel silly now that I didn't get the full model, although I remember my friend saying it was a Polo IV. The salesman said it was fully canvased, although I didn't remember to check it for myself. I guess I can call tomorrow.

 

[musicguy]

Interestingly enough, the fit was almost perfect for me too. I just went in today to get the alterations and I'm just having the back brought in a little and of course the sleeve length and cuffs. There are two 44L suits left, one navy Blue Label and the same dark charcoal stripe Black Label I purchased. There are also around 5-10 sport coats available with varying sizes 38R, 42R, etc.

Also, the SA said that all of the RL suits are fully canvassed now, not just the Black/Purple Label. I'm not sure if that's true, but that's what he said.
