Baldessarini suits were made by Caruso but are not very easy to find.


Can't one buy better-quality shirts somewhere else and have them tailored to get a similar cut?

I like their polos, boxers, and they have some nice overcoats, but that's all I buy from them. Oh and I have a pair of their optical glasses I like.

Bose is extremely over-rated.

Had good luck with my Boss suit I purchase last fall. Only paid a little over $200 and about $30 at the tailor. Since then I found SF and have added a Zegna, Paul Stuart, and Canali. Thanks SF

I bought a Boss Red Label suit about 2 years ago. It held up pretty well until recently when some of the threads started to rip. I got it fixed for free since my grandfather is a tailor. Now is it cause i gained a little bit of weight one time after that and must have tore it the way i sat or tugged somehow or even ran - i don't remember, or is ist just mediocre stitching. I did spend a lot of money it, around $500. I'm never buying another Boss suit for close to that amount.

I own quite a few boss jeans, pants and shirts, and so far they have been working well for me. I do enjoy their cuts and styles. Also, I also don't think they are worth the regular price - never, I usually by my Boss clothes from N. rack or filene's and even saks fifth when they had the huge sale for an avg of 20-40 dollars - that includes dress pants, jeans or shirts.

I do love their underwear, verycomfortable, smooth and quite housing.

I have a blue BOSS dress shirt which I got on sale a couple years ago which I quite like. I also got a couple plain V neck black t-shirts on sale as well. They fit nice, maybe a little short though.

I saw a black and white color HUGO label in online bloomies yes, but i didn't feel like paying for their shipping. I have a slim fit HUGO label shirt - it's a beautiful shirt with great fitting for me. I've wore it many times, I got it on sale from Barney's outlet in leesburg for less than 40$.
The bloomies in white flint mall, md has quite few Boss clothes. They used to carry Zegna too but they stopped recently.

Let me guess, you're a boss fan?

I only buy Hugo Boss casual gear (the orange? label) - its actually good quality and lasts very well. Their casual shoes and boots arent bad either.

perfectly valid question
couple of reasons i chose this ID - 1) i do own some boss clothes
2) a friend of mine told me about a fellah from his university whose 1st name was Boss
so the nickname is inspired from the above reasons!
