I mean, and? We have known this since the 70s when offshoring accelerated.

An elucidating article. Thanks for sharing.

The extent of SuitSupply’s involvement with TAL is unclear, from the article alone at least. For instance, what types of garments are made at one of these facilities and what fraction of their clothes are made there?

But when brought to their attention, SuitSupply is taking action to minimize hardships to the workers. While they don’t get credit for failing to notice this before, they do get credit for taking action now, however delayed.

Ultimately, though, to really stop these types of things from happening we customers need to stop expecting expensive items for cheap ...

Yeah, but you see how people get mad when they don't get the 90$ suit, when it obviously was a pricing error.

Like I only get a 20$ gift card just because the too-cheap-to-be-true-suit was actually really an pricing error at the website? Come on, I WANT A 90$ SUIT!!!

I personally find it really disgusting how people act around frugal shops like SuSu or S&M. Like they owe you those low prices at all. This behaviour pushes companies to do dirty business.

AGREED!

I just bought a SM jacket between sales and I feel better about paying them closer to what the garment is worth. I’m not buying in bulk for my tiny, edited wardrobe, so I won’t insist on cheap sale prices for good quality clothes.

@caschta said it better and without superfluous apostrophes. But thank you.

@Baked Potato
They began asking for full payments back when I was working around November.

however the sales rep told me that if needed they could accommodate some split payments. Worth asking if it’s possible.

Last time I was able to split pay was in June. But they ordered through their previous system at that time. They’ve fully gone over to the new system now, so that’s perhaps why they don’t accept split payments any longer?

Lazio.

Holy crap, that looks GREAT. The lapels to my eye look just a hair slimmer than I’m used to seeing on the Lazio.

Perfection, sir.

Thanks. Don't know if they have made them a little wider but this is the stock lapel of the Lazio. I think that a touch wider would be perfect.

If you don't mind me asking, what size jacket is that?

No problem, 44L (54L)

Ah! I have noticed that SS does not always increase the lapel width exactly proportionately with the jacket size. The Lazio lapel on my 36R frame does look slightly wider than on a 44L. Interesting!

Yeap, I kinda noticed that, in some sizes they lapels look bigger than on bigger sizes.

Looks great, was this custom? What is the fabric?
