When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

[hobo style]

I ordered a cashmere sweater for my wife through the BB website last week when it was on sale for $195 and today I got a call from Fedex telling me I owed $80 in customs fees (I live in Canada) that I had to pay upon delivery. I refused the delivery. Man do I ever hate Fedex.

WTF is this going to happen to me if i order something over a hundred dollars?

Namor can you help me out with BBBF sizing? I normally wear a 36 in coats with shoulders 16.5-17 (including BoO) would i be a bb0? wanna get this http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCat...733&Sub_Product_Id=1557734&default_color=Grey

That sounds about right but I dont know how sportcoats fit this season. Generally, If Im buying BBBF I like to go into a store a check sizing out first. Sizing has been known to change from season to season. For what its worth, the sizing on BBBF jackets has been fairly consistent. Its the shirts that you have to watch out for.

Philip, you also Canadian?

Alright thanks. And nop, Australia. I've never bought anything over 100 that's been shipped by fedex so I don't know what to expect in terms of customs.

Actually just remembered, I bought something from TBS that was ~$300 and was hit with $8, nevermind

Was interested in the grey/blue Harris tweed sports coat, but it's in Madison fit, not sure how loose it will be. It also states that it has natural shoulders, does that mean that there is little or no padding? Also how high are the arm holes in comparison to the Fitzgerald or Regent fit? Hopefully it will be part of the after Christmas sale.

definitely fuller, lower armholes and longer (BOC) than Fitz..I thought about the same item but just not sold on additional alterations since Fitz cuts are just about perfect for me OTR..

That's not FedEx, that's your government. Buy Canadian!

Part of it is the government but Fedex tacks on a ~$30-40 brokerage fee. And nine times out of ten when something of similar value (ie. less than $200) gets shipped to me via USPS I never pay any duties or fees.

Did any of the other BB card holders on here get a free scarf? They sent me an unannounced package the other day that had a thank you / holiday card and a wool scarf.

Look at both their men's and woman's items (not in the sale section). There is a lot of stuff that is marked down.
