I'd be very happy to pay $425 for one of your full canvas jackets. Just saying...


Fair enough. I'll probably move forward with both. Just wanted to test the half canvas market and see what happens... I'd love to take on Suit Supply and take some of their market share.

FYI the narrower lapel really not all that narrow at 3" wide.

Any chance of a plain navy, @eHaberdasher ? Also, will you have a full size run (i.e. with shorts and longs, like your suits)?

Awesome. I'd love to have a source for cool, $400ish full canvassed jackets (who wouldnt?). I definitely know people that would prefer the cheaper half, though, so I understand your model.

$400 full canvas that's as flexible as Brioni is the new record low price I think. I've been burned before by full canvas $550 suits which are truly full canvas (I tore one apart to check) but used such cheap stiff canvas they're useless.

Saw the photo of the "narrow" lapel and it doesn't seem narrow at all. At least not the fashionable cheap fused narrow we see in mags. 3" also matches all my ties as I prefer them slimmer to match my profile.

So, do I understand correctly that you will offer both narrower and wider lapel options? If so, how wide will be "the wider"?

I have 3 Benjamin sport coats, ordered in bulk before realizing how narrow the lapels are. I kept them since I liked them enough, but will not buy any more unless the lapels get wider - I think the current line is a hair over 3" and even that are too narrow for my tastes, so straight up 3" would be definitely too slim (for me).

In fact, since the comparison with Suitsupply came up, the wider lapel options are the only reason why I shop at Suitsupply and Yoox, rather than stick with ehaberdasher.

Eventually... I had some made in Italy but they screwed them up - had to send them back. Have solid black coming in though in a cashmere blend hopsack.

Hopefully we'll be able to satisfy both full and half canvas customers! :slayer:

Yes, the narrow is 3" and the wide is about 3.75".

FYI the Corneliani is the 1st line Corneliani - not sure why it has the CC tag. Look underneath the tag it is their first line.

Ben, how much does it usually cost to ship from your UK site to South East Asia 1 pocket square?I need the cream Zegna pocket square but if shipping is too pricey, may turn elsewhere (though tempted to combine it with other items)

We usually ship via Priority or Express Mail which provides for some insurance and partial tracking to avoid loss which happens often with just regular mail, so shipping is actually indeed price. US Priority Mail is $30. Better to combine with other items!
