A follow up question. Why do you even pay attention to SuSu when you have many great options?

This requires some "clarification". I have only 3 good bespoke suits, being one of them a morning coat and odd trousers. From SuSu I only have Lazio and (old) Havana models.

But the main reasons are:

- for me a suit is an utilitarian item. I work in suits day in day out, I travel internationally in a suit, put them in the bag take them out in some hotel, and so on. I have very little "love" for them.

- this said, I'm price sensitive for something that is going to be beat to death. When I need a suit I see the options, check prices, quality and go for the best cost/quality ratio.

- I like to get styling ideas from the SuSu.

- Last but not least; if I can spend €299 instead of €400 in a suit, great to me.

I'd rather spend my money on nicer things other than clothes, and honestly nobody gives a s*** if it's SuSu, MTM, Bespoke, some known brand or whatever.

Have you guys ever had success letting out the leg of a pair of Susu trousers?

It’s a mirage

Spring/summer stuff has gone up around January 31-February 1 for three years in a row now. Remember — they do waves, so expect only 15-20 items in the very first wave — kind of like a soft launch (before they send out any emails).

It’s intriguing what more they can do to the poor Havana and deconstruct it even more? I still wish they’d left the old styles alone and not these Havana hybrids...

Actually, kind of looking forward to FW2018-19. I have too much linen/silk stuff. Maybe I will pick up a new lightweight overcoat this time around, though

While we wait — https://us.suitsupply.com/en_US/jackets/havana-orange-plain/MENKR001-M.html?cgid=Jackets

My eyes hurt just by looking at the preview pictures. The Netherlands team always makes a statement at the Olympics?

Thanks! I remember the last year as well you made to provide us some early insights!

I don't remember Havana had such a generously wide lapels .. Have they modified it for the upcoming Spring perhaps? Or this appears to be resurrected Hudson considering the third patch ..

It looks like the old Hudson.

Quick question, would really appreciate your insight: has anyone had luck in the past returning/exchanging an outlet purchase, but not because of a defect or a quality issue with the product?

I ordered a Lazio suit two days ago, which I like but is not my favorite option. Now my preferred suit is available on the Canadian outlet and I don't know what to do... I don't need two more blue suits (or do I? :))

Thanks!

Outlet sales are final unless there is a defect or they send you wrong size! May be you can try selling here on B&S
