If anyone has been on the fence with the Bottoli in orange/blue check - BUY BUY BUY. At 25% extra off - this is a STEAL. I love the one I picked up in the summer. Pairs really well with denim and cream pants.

Thanks, friend. That blue is too bold. I think grey is the way to go... Not bold, but not boring, either. Now I need to find pics of the VBC navy mesh hopsack... haha. ****. SM sales times is the worst part of the day.
Just my 2 cents, sport coat should be bold just like suits should be muted. If dress for work, dark business suits are only thing should be acceptable. Sportcoat should be played with and are much more versatile than casual suits. The only one sportcoat that is muted should be the navy blazer which can sometimes be worn in business setting

Those were pretty much the rules up to about 20 years ago. Now anything goes. With often disastrous results.

I had 0 shrink with the SS. Hoping for close to that with LS. The sleeves have a bit extra, so should be good.

Long story short. The LS polo fabric didn't get the same loop dry treatment of the short sleeve. So shrinkage is typical for regular Pique.

Anybody have the Peak Lapel Medium Grey suit and can comment on it?

The peak lapel suits are amazing and if there is one left in your size buy it.

Rick, the site sometimes show this shipping method error when ordering a jacket but not everything else. On BF I was able to order a jacket though. Odd. This is for international shipping.

"Sorry, no quotes are available for this order at this time."
