Where to buy suit brushes

[m3rkury]

From my research on the forum, it looks like people recommend suit brushes to maintain their suits. What should I look for in a brush, and where should I look? If it helps (and it most certainly does not), I am on a student's budget, so I am looking for something affordable.

Thanks in advance.

I think you should spend the money for a quality item such as a Kent Brush:

Kent brushes are good.
I have the CC20 and CP6. Ordered on line and shipped to Canada.
I used the discount code GBK1777. Not sure if it still works.

Even on a student's budget I would still recommend Kent. They are not cheap to purchase but are very high quality and may last a lifetime. Always cheaper in the long run to buy quality than continually replace items.

Why would anyone pay more than what it costs directly from Kent's website?

I was just about to ask this question. I'm ordering the CC2 as we speak.

I own the CG1 and CP6. The CP6 is probably all you'll ever really need for everything from worsteds to cashmere.

I have CC20 and CP6. Had them for a few years now and they perform like the day they were purchased. Use the CC20 for most hard finished suits - long side for jackets and short side for pants. The CP6 is used for the softer suits.

Sorry for the thread bump, but this seemed like an appropriate thread to post.

I wanted to purchase the CC20 since it seems to be highly regarded. Unfortunately the discount code GBK1777 doesn't seem to work anymore.

- Does anyone know of a working discount code?

- Would I be fine purchasing a brush for worsted wools from their ebay site that is "Danta handle with pure black bristle and white bristle outer (stiffer bristle than our cp6 "

Thanks!!

The CC20 appears in new and unused condition on eBay with some frequency at a substantial discount.

That's great to know. Thanks!

I've only seen one CC20 brush in the last couple of weeks which is essentially the same price as ordering direct from Kent

Hopefully one pops up soon .. (and I win )

Kent's eBay site has a pile of "stiffer than a CP6" (which is optimised for cashmere) brushes on discount: http://stores.ebay.com/Kentbrushes_C...QQftidZ2QQtZkm

Would it be safe to assume the "stiffer than a CP6" would be perfectly fine for worsted wools?

I have a few, but the one I use exclusively these days came from eBay. They're dirt cheap there. It's not a Kent, but I like it better than the Kent offerings.
