That is terrible news for us the customer. Never understood who that Jort dude was (apart from the fact he was a controversial Dutch journalist), he did look quite cringeworthy in some ads.
However, I understand they stop the collection from the Suitsupply stand point : who was spending 1000$ +cad for the jort line ? I always saw them on the outlet (where I grabbed them). Happy to have done so now that I learned this. Found them the best fitting for the whole susu collection, less taper than regular collection on the pants, and obviously the full canvas was a plus. At 320$ and 500$ for a 3 piece on outlets, premium materials, they were a no brainer (yes some pieces were a bit show off and hard to pull off for the regular customer).
A big shame if they do stop that line. My wardrobe is loaded anyways
That does leave a void for the premium collection at Suitsupply, I still believe they ought to have pieces for when a customer asks for the best of the best. I guess they can always redirect to their full canvass pieces.
I wonder if this means they will move away from having a premium line or if they will just restructure the naming/categorization.
It wasn't too long ago they took the La Spalla model and folded it into the Lazio collection. I found it confusing because I would think they would want to easily differentiate between the half-canvass, lower quality fabrics of regular Lazio and the premium fabrics/full canvas of La Spalla, but obviously the Big Wigs disagree. I also thought La Spalla was a great name but what do I know!
Seems this may be more of the same - a way of integrating their top-of-the-line options into their pre-existing framework. Time will tell.
