I am curious about how durable should one expect the 100% cashmere sport coats to be?
There seems to be conflicting opinions on if cashmere is more fragile than regular wool in general, so it would be good to know what are the expectations for this specific batch of sport coats?

For anybody who's purchased the wool trousers, would you say these are more on the delicate end of the spectrum or good weekly (twice weekly?) workhorses that can stand up (no pun intended) to hours and hours of walking? The Super 140s fabric is what's throwing me off but otherwise they look like an excellent value. Also, I live in the US South so I prefer lighter weight fabrics but I do want something that will drape well, how would you describe how these pants wear?

Thanks! Looking forward to making my first eHaberdasher purchase in 2014.

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?


We generally don't do more promotions or discounts, sorry.

Yes there is a free shipping for US CUSTOMERS ONLY on orders over $150.

Also there is a 1/2 off shipping code for international orders: "SFHALF"

I generally don't think you will have much of an issue with wear - these are very high quality cashmeres from Biella - Tallia Delfino, Barbera, Colombo and Zegna.

Perhaps others will chime in on their experiences, but we have not received a single complaint about the durability of the fabric in the past 4 years. I can say that my brother works in Manhattan, walks a good 40 blocks a day and he has worn the trousers on a regular rotation 1-2x a week for over two years with no issues.

Hi, Ben. Are there still Napoli suits coming to the US site? Or did I miss them? I'd like to see how they look.

What size? Color preference? Not too many - I'll be bringing back what's left with me from London back to NJ later this week.

Just got my tuxedo in 36 R, pics below (sorry for the bad pics only from the back). I think the shoulders might be a smidgen wide and it could definitely be taken it. I'm planning on pulling the trigger on a suit as well. Do you think I should keep 36, or go down to 34? Thanks!

Go down to a 34.

Thanks, Mute! I will for the suit. Do you (or any other opinions welcome as well) think the 36 is salvageable for the tux if tailored well? I've added some pics below.
