Anybody know if there’s going to be a black Friday outlet again?

I don't think so. Last year it started a week before Black Friday. It didn't start today, and it wouldn't make sense to start it after BF.

If I recall correctly in previous years they have had the sale at the start of the new year. Based on the recent price hikes and what appears to be limited availability of pieces, I am doubtful of any outlet this season.

You may be right. There was a Joey piece I missed out on last time that I was hoping would pop up again, but we will see

Highly unlikely, I would say. Stocks are extremely low (which is what I would do if i ran the show) and so I imagine there's next-to-nothing worth doing the outlet for, and they'll use their other channels.

So, no-one here knows (or has said) and I'd be amazed if we saw them return for quite a while. It's also kind of brand-damaging, having people wait all year for a sale...

Sorry, I meant Jort but autocorrect had other ideas

I thought it was a VBC Kangaroo-Alpaca blend that I missed!

With all the posts about selling/trading in this thread, maybe someone could start a SuitSupply BST thread, just as Spier & Mackay has?

S&M are Official Affiliates. SuSu isn’t anymore.

Brentwood trousers.. I ordered a size 40.. Im currently a 33-34 waist. It was still really slim at the bottom and had to get my tailors to work some magic..I thought the rises would be better on their flannels?

Those are the "Light Grey Pleated Fellini Trousers", right? I ordered a pair, which I sent back. I should size up, but even so, the "high rise" from SS are the Braddon model, the Washington fit and Vigo fit...

The overall picture of mid-range (pricewise) menswear is in a precarious spot right now the world over. Suitsupply is in a tough spot and better be super wise. It isn’t H&M or Zara. It isn’t Saville Row. Whoever is at the helm right now will either make or break this company especially now that we are headed towards SS’s 20th anniversary, and SS is no longer a teenager but an adult. The recession may be upon us soon and this will be another factor in addition to changing consumer preferences.

I am seeing fewer and fewer decently dressed people no matter if I am in Jakarta, Mexico City or London. The market forces are driving overall dress code toward more and more casual. I still see suits in Tokyo and very few other places

Gentlemen, we are about to stand out even more prominently from the crowds

My goodness, how this post aged...

First time I'm hearing of Vigo. How does it compare to Braddon?

What did your tailor do? Was he able to widen the leg opening?

Do you mean that it was extraordinarily prescient? Because it was, wasn't it?

But, honestly, I wasn't reading the tea leaves - the writing was all over the wall
