Where did you see PL suits for $800?
OP's suit looks good and if he gets a lot of use of it,it will be a good buy.BF suits are very well made.

Did you actually see any Purple Label suits?Anything in solid colors?
Also,is the sale for all items?

 

[Jacksdad]

yes I did actually see them. Navy and charcoal...very classic looking. Don't remember if they were solids. I think the charcoal one was. The ones I payed attention to were navy and charcoal with a subtle pinstripe. I wear Brioni, Kiton, and Isaia suits but did take a look at what they had briefly. This is the sale for a lot of items. Picked up a $375 dress shirt for $70 and a $1,000 cashmere sweater for $215

I should call them tomorrow and pay a visit,$800 for purple label suit is a good deal. Thanks for heads up.

This thread should not be dead. It is as useful to MC as it is to SW&D... besides I need more opinions than SW&D was willing to give me, so, Crosspost. The pattern on this suit is... I don't know, I'm torn between "too awesome for words" and "tacky". My wish to experiment with wearing suits outside of a business environment may be getting the better of me. Input needed. Talking off the ledge? Encouragement and cheerleading? That I leave to styleforum.

I don't think the pattern is tacky, but I wouldn't purchase something in this fabric as a 4th or 5th suit - I just like too many other patterns personally. Looking beyond the fabric, I don't like shape of the lapels or the button configuration. Is it a 4x2? EDIT Check out yfyf's posts in WAYWRN for some awesome suit fabrics/patterns

Hm, for me the bellied lapels are a plus, but a SW&D guy was also skeptical. I can only aspire to Yfyf's steeze. But yes, it's 4x2.

The cloth strikes me as very busy, and the peaks have too much peak for my tastes. Altogether, it's just too much.

I have to vote nay.
