RL Black Label suit - have some questions about price and fit

[feynmix]

Isn't $850 for a RLBL suit a good price? Unless you get lucky with the color (Charcoal or navy) and the size, rarely have I seen a RLBL suit for less than that price. The couple that I have seen get bought out here on B&S in about an hour.

it's not a bad price. I've paid the same for a charcoal suit in 38r from rlbl. That being said, I've also purchased one here on the forum in navy for only about 600. This is all in perhaps the most popular size they make. Having said that, it's still a good price for a very nice looking and high quality suit. You wouldn't regret it but you might see it on sale for less at some point down the line.

Great suits. I pull them off the rack and they fit like a glove. They also seem to wear relatively well and put up with lots of suitcase abuse. As long as you're comfortable with a slim silhouette I think they work great for business or social. Not too conservative, not too traditional.

And the price is good. I just bought one yesterday at Bloomingdales that ended up being $750 with a dizzying array of discounting that I could barely follow. This was for a 40R which I find tough to get bargains on and in fact have paid full retail for more than once in the past, I just can't resist the Black Label fit.

I agree with this. As stretched as I am currently, I would probably still bite on a navy if I could get it in my size (that would need to be $850 Canadian, given the shyte exchange currently

)

$834 is a decent price for Black Label. If you're patient AND lucky you might find one for less in your size. I know they make 36S because I actually tried one on at one of the stores. There was only one however, so it's probably hard to find. One other thing. Is the $834 price after you've applied the most recent sales code? If not, see if they'll give you the 30% with HOL2008.

I've got a BL suit and it fits amazingly OTR. The only thing I did was get the pants hemmed. I have a 44" chest so normally I get 42R, but I got a 44R for the BL suit and it was perfect. It is the best suit I own hands down...but I only have two others.

Oh and last thing, I have a 33-34" waist, and normally 44Rs come with 36-38 pants. But this one came with a slim 34 pants with side tabs. Perfect; saved me another $20 or so.

That's interesting. I didn't know that RLBL suits were drop 10.
