In reply to the original question of what makes Hugo Boss bad, I would say for the price of the suit you could get an overall better made piece although it might not be the cut you're looking for (EG: Polo Ralph Lauren)

I think this video of his suit explains the response.

I have yet to see any working sleeve buttons on RTW jackets. The armholes on my Hugo Boss suit are not huge, I don't see anything wrong with single vents (though they do make Boss suits with doubles), the fabrics aren't "horrid" as you claim, and I would hardly say that the cut on my Hugo Boss suits are unflattering. You seem to believe that "slim" is a universally better cut, where as clothes that just fit one's body type will always look better than something labeled "slim." And for the price, I'd be hard pressed to get 2 suits for less than $1500 at a better price and fit than my 2 Jam/Sharps. All I see in your post is preference and opinion.

Bellum,
I did look at the Polo Ralph Lauren suits, and you are right, they were not the cuts I was looking for otherwise I would have probably shelled out a few hundred more bucks and picked up one of those instead. But on the whole, these being my first designer suits from a higher end house than what I'm used to, I'm very satisfied. I know that my Hugo Boss suits aren't anything spectacular, but their cuts fit my body very well (athletic build), especially since I don't like suits that are "very" slim but rather follow the contours while still having very good drape.

RTW with working sleeve buttons that I have seen: Brioni, Armani BL, Armani Colezzioni, Emporio Armani, Jil Sander, Borreli, etc. Seems to be the high end RTW that has it.

Indeed he is wrong about the single vent only statement. When I was purchasing my suits I tried on several double vent Hugo Boss suits that were of slightly more conservative cuts.

To get this thread unjacked, I offer this up - I'm sitting in the Boca Raton Saks right now and things appear to all be at least 50% off full retail. I'm fondling this light gray cashmere RLPL sportsjacket that's still $1800 or so - someone get me this for B&S prices

Best regards.

Saks.com added additional discounts to its sale merch today.

Stopped by Saks Pittsburgh and... their sales racks are gone!! Have been for two weeks, apparently. Some of it was placed back on the racks (at un-crazy sale prices), but the rest was shipped somewhere else.
