No. The checkout page, where you indicate the form of payment you intend to use. I just checked on a pair of Peal boots. It says:

Order subtotal: 748.00
Order discount -312.20

I was able to use both the BCSP17 code and a corporate discount. I ended up getting a Suiting Essentials jacket and pants. There are not a lot of pickings available for jacket/pant combinations. I really should buy a better suit, but I have read the jacket has half-canvas construction and with the discounts I got it for $350 + tax. That's not much for a half-canvas suit. I hope it fits and the fabric isn't too lousy. My true waist size at my navel is 36 inches and I am just a little more slender below the navel--depending on the rise we'll see where the belt line ends up. I bought size 36 S.E. pants with the pleats--no straight pants were available. I would have bought size 35 in. pants if they were available but they were not. Simultaneously, my thighs are fairly muscular so maybe 36 sized pants are right. I have found many retailers have vanity sizing so I hope the size 36 pants aren't 37 inches or larger. My chest is 45 inches and the Regent jacket at 44 should be fine--but who knows how the shoulders will fit and work out. If the suit doesn't fit, I wasted the code. Anyhow, the real reason I wanted to post here is that I found it tricky to stack the codes and I wanted to share how I did it.

1. Best to log in and then clear out your cart.
2. Then log out.
3. Put the items in the cart.
4. Don't go to checkout. Go up toward the top right of the page and click on (look at) your shopping bag. At the shopping bag (and while logged out) was the only time where I could see the box where I could put in the BCSP17 code. I couldn't find that box anywhere while I was logged in but maybe I just didn't go to the shopping bag at the right time.
5. On the shopping bag page, put in the BCSP17 code.
6. Log in.
7. At the first page of the checkout, I saw none of the discounts applied.
8. When I went to the next page where you put in the payment, I saw both the $200 off code was working and the corporate discount was applied.
9. At that point I thought $350+tax seemed pretty fair. I noticed two pairs of pants left at that size. I waited a bit to think about if I wanted the suit or save the money for a better one, but when I noticed that the number of the pants available had dropped to 1 I decided I might as well go for it.

Note: the jacket and pants I ordered were full price.

I am looking at two jackets.

https://www.brooksbrothers.com/Saxx...____GREY_44___RG__,default,pd.html?Quantity=1





or



http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Doubl...var_ML00370_Size=44_RG&contentpos=5&cgid=0308











My local Bb doesn't have these in stock and I've never put them on.
Do any of you fine gent's know which one is better suited for colder climates?
I've never seen Saxxon wool, but the sales rep over the phone was talking praises about it. She however did not know which jacket would be better in the cold. (I live in a warmer market so they don't stock these jackets)


Are they sized as to wear them over my suit jacket or no? (I wear 44 suit jacket, would I need a 44 or 46 for these jackets to fit over my suit?)



OR


Should I hold out for the Brookstorm overcoats to get marked down?


Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Looks like one of the two sold out.

I can't comment on the functionality of either. With respect to pricing, if you are patient at the end of a season you could try to buy at 1/3 of the MSRP. Paying 1/4 of the MSRP is sometimes achievable, especially with codes stacking. So, a good target range for the first coat would be $300-$400 and the second coat would be $250-$300. It's the end of the season and they need to clear the inventory, so they are making out fine if they can get rid of odds and ends at a price that is not too far from the wholesale cost. Everybody wins.

If you really need an item at the start of a season, then the Corporate Discount helps (especially when it doubles) or there is a Friends and Family type sale.

Went in yesterday to try on a few jackets for spring and summer, but left empty handed because the Regent cut no longer fits me with the latest wave of changes. Horrible collar gap now.

Turns out the Madison cut is the only one that fits me anymore, now that it too has been slimmed down.

Has anyone seen (or can you provide) clear information about the specific nature of the changes to the different cuts?

The SA told me they slimmed the Regent cut to fit more like the Fitz, now that the Fitz is no longer around. The lapels look a little narrower as well, but not as narrow as the Fitz was. It's pretty rare for me to see collar gap at all, let alone collar gap that extreme, so not sure what they specifically did to the Regent cut.

Regarding the Madison cut, I have not tried that cut on in 5 or more years, but it was significantly slimmer with higher arm holes yesterday than it was 5 years ago. Sorry, that's the best I can offer.

I used to wear a Regent just a few months ago. Went into the store today to try on some shirts and I fit into a Milano.

Combination of their fit changes and some weight loss.

Thank you to whoever posted the discount code. It knocked off $200 off of my order.

Got four Supima Regent OCBD (sans front pocket :-/) and three linen shirts en route. Came out to roughly $53/shirt.

Thank you very much, this worked for me also after few unsuccessful attempts..

So now I hope what new BB Oxfords with pocket will be nice :)


With or without? I'm confused.

WITHOUT pocket
$140 (25% off if 3 or more)
plus the promo code (over 300 or 500)

WITH pocket
80 sale price (no further % discount for multiples or corporate)
plus the promo code (over 300 or 500)
