I vote to keep the lapels at 3", as the majority of my ties are this width.

I just received my first sport coat. Overall, the quality and the fit are very good, and hard to see many easy alternatives at this price. My only complaint is that the lapels are a bit too narrow at ~3". (I realize it is hard to please everyone, but here it is, I'm voting for slight increase in lapel width :) ). Regardless, I'll probably get a few more.


Thanks for the feedback... how about some pics!

BTW the lapels should wider than that and almost 8.5cm...

Yes, I measure them slightly below 8.5, but actually the left lapel is 0.5 cm narrower. I think it might be a defect or it was pressed this wa, i can't tell, but there is also a full 1 cm difference in the distance of the corner of the lapels to the shoulder seam

Oh no that doesn't sound good... a pic or two perhaps? You can also PM me or email me directly [email protected] if you prefer. Granted I have seen this happen with Kiton, Borrelli, etc., but never before with my garments - I'm hoping it is just a press (and imagine that is the case).

Oh I should also so I'm planning to widen the lapel by 1cm, and also making a few other minor adjustments! :D

So we recently put up some new items on the site including Kiton cashmere sweaters, as well as some awesome cashmere, cashmere blend and wool ties from rare brands including E. Formicola, Ulturale, Roda, Nicky, Ballantyne, Sasa and Borrelli. Check them out!

There are 1,310 items showing up as "new arrivals" which seems like a lot. I also don't see the cashmere sweater within those new arrivals.

Actually there are only 321 items in "New Arrivals". You can find the Kiton sweaters in the middle of the 3rd page.

I should also take the time to say that the site is absolute rubbish but we are nearing having the newly revamped site completed! Maybe after the new year I'll post screen shots of what it will look like... or better yet just have the new site up!

Also I am aware there are some missing photos for some of the new ties - I'm having that looked into first thing Monday.

No worries - things like search, new arrivals, sorting, etc. will be much improved when the new site launches.

I don't know anything about Sasa, never heard of that name before. But I purchased a blue shepherd's check last night and now it isn't on the site anymore. Sold out that quick?!? Congrats on the new cashmere and wool tie lineup. They do look very nice.

You won't be disappointed. Yes for many of these we only got one or two.

I'm starting a new job in January and am in desperate need of some dress pants. I'd like a few pairs of the Benjamin suit pants but they're a little out of my price range at $115. Are there any promotions or coupon codes going right now?
