Who makes Band of Outsiders' suits?

[Oneitis]

I've noticed Band of Outsiders is trying to move a bit more out of its general area of skinny ties and oxfords and into more tailored clothing.

Does anyone have one of their suits? Do we know who is making them and how the quality is? At about $2K a pop retail that makes me wonder since you can get a hickey style (lower case) for about 1,200 (retail obviously, not currently) or RL BL for $1,600.

Thanks

I haven't spoken to Scott of Band of Outsiders in awhile.
he was making his shirts in LA somewhere. I think he was trying to keep most of his tailored clothing production on the west coast.
Remember, his is a fashion Brand. so you should end up paying a bit more. His production numbers are lower, so his costs per garment will be much higher.

I thought it was MG in Brooklyn that was making the suits.

I think you're right about the shirts (made in LA) but the suits are advertised as "made in Brooklyn", just like Duncan Quinn

IIRC, they weren't 6 months ago - I guess that changed

Really? A friend of mine who owns a store carries the line and knows Scott and told me they were made in Brooklyn but that was a while ago. Maybe more than 6 months ago. Who knows I might have wrong information...

There are no shirt factories in Brooklyn.
there are some ladies garment factories, but no one who could make a decent shirt.

I was in San Francsico a couple of weeks ago. The owner of Rolo and a salesmen at Barneys both said that the BoO suits were made by the same brooklyn tailor who makes Thom Browne's suits.

I saw that a few months ago. I'm considering buying another suit from them just to finally meet the man.
