I'm seeing Samuelsohn Regular-Fit Wool Suit in a few basic colors online for $300. It shows an original price of $1,495 but doesn't give full details. Should I expect this to be the normal quality fully canvassed Samuelsohn suit? Or do they cheapen it for the off5th/last call type stores?

Here are the only details: Handsome suiting style tailored in fine wool. Wool. Dry clean. Made in Canada. JACKET Regular fit, Notched lapels, Long sleeves, Four-button detail at cuffs, Two-button front, Besom chest pocket, Waist flap pockets, Dual back hem vents, Fully lined, About 30" from shoulder to hem PANTS, Flat-front style Button tab closure Zip fly Side slash, back button welt pockets Unfinished hem Rise, about 11" Inseam, about 36"

Thank you for the help

It should be authentic. Samuelsohn holds a warehouse sale about twice a year in Montreal and they sell tons of suits at discounted prices.

I bought 4 Samuelsohn suits from off5th a few months ago for around 300/each. I was very hesitant when I ordered the first one, but I emailed samuelsohn and they confirmed they were full canvas, plus the same suits in limited sizes were still on the main saks site on sale.

They appear to be old stock, some from 2 years ago (some "Beckett", some "yardley" cuts). Some are 100% wool, some have some stretch. I have been very happy with them.

@SpooPoker A/K/A Balearic A/K/A LuxeSwap is selling some Sammy suits new in his store asking in the $325 range. Not sure if he got them via the sample sales mentioned above, but they are in this "Colombo Ice S150" material which i have no clue what that means. Anything offered to "young executives" seems like something worth avoiding. https://www.samuelsohn.com/products/the-ice-wool-suit-1

Appreciate the shout out - yes, I have a bunch of Sammy made / Sammy mainline suits in my store with many more to come in the next few weeks. They are not from a sample sale, but rather directly from a first line retailer. they are awesome!

Colombo S150s Ice wool is the kind of wool used (Super 150s made by Colombo).
