They use buttery fabrics layered with full canvassing and feature intricate pick-stitched details and handiwork throughout, plus the silhouette and shoulders contribute to drape that fits perfectly like it was bespoken for you. The construction and materials are second only to makers such as Kiton, Brioni, and perhaps Rubanacci.Originally Posted by intent
I was under the impression (based upon prior threads on this) that they were only half-canvassed...Originally Posted by gogators
Correct. Said differently, half of the suit is fully canvassed.Originally Posted by taxgenius69
If that were true, would that be enough to get you out of the forum groupthink?Originally Posted by intent

I have no issues with Jos A Banks. I am from Australia and they do not have any stores hear so it is not something I would usually go for (I can only find their regular line in some department stores). They have a sale at the moment 3 platinum suits for $1994 (or $664 per suit) which seems reasonable for a s150 full canvas suit with pick stitching and working buttonholes. I just can't find any reviews about the suits so I am not sure how good they are.Originally Posted by fleurdema1

I can only tell you it is a step up from the gold line, The stores near me do not carry them only online can you get them so I am not too familiar with the quality. I know there gold is a 120 and I think the platinum is 130-150 which is very good for wool.Originally Posted by bowtielover
FWIW, the description says "fully-canvassed" in the catalogue. Either way, it doesn't hurt to find out for yourself rather than trusting forum myth and word-of-mouth.Originally Posted by vincerich
Read their description carefully. What are they describing as full canvassed? As I said many times, "100% * 50% = 50%."Originally Posted by taxgenius69
