Hello All,

I'm new to the forum and I wanted to say hi. This seems like a great place to learn more about great fashion! I also had a question. I was recently looking at a Hart schaffner Marx suit. Labeled "Gold", not "Gold Trumpet". I think maybe it's a new line, maybe? I was wondering if anyone knew what the difference between was between the two, if there is any, and how HSM quality is?

Thanks!

just kidding, the search bar above is a much better resource.

HSM quality is about lower mid range I'd guess. Whether or not that is good depends on your needs and taste.

can't hurt to ask. sucks too that "HSM" is not going to yield results.

but for real, it's hard to get answers to this kind of question because this sort of thing has been discussed so much at length in so many threads before.

if searching is too hard, you might get better results with the "lurk moar and wait for answers to come to me" strategy.

IIRC, the lower line is fused and the better line full canvassed (or possibly half canvassed
