Paul, I paid a whopping (compared to this ******* Gilt disaster) $494 for it, so the right price probably wouldn't go south of $400. That's scared off my potential buyers so far.

Man... This is the Ervell blazer that I was gonna try to sell. But I didn't realize it's 100% cashmere. The feel is amazing. Between the softness and the unstructured, it's like a cardigan disguised as a blazer.

Wow, that is beautiful. Was that one for sale on Gilt? I don't remember seeing notched lapels like that.

No, I'm pretty sure it was nowhere to be found on gilt. It's unstructured, like some of those were, but it's listed as 'grey twill'—and as I mentioned, it's actually a cashmere twill. I don't know if they retailed at different price points but it seems considerably nicer than the gilt pieces (not that I wouldn't have kopped, had I been around)
The lapels are indeed really nice. They're rounded off. The whole thing just gives off a really soft, elegant vibe that's not really apparent in the picture. It is making me wish for a couple shirts like the one in the pic, though.

Nah, same. The tweed one that was on gilt is actually the best of the bunch but this is nice too. It's on sale at icarus as are the matching pants if you want the suit.

I'm selling a black cashmere one I picked up at the sample sale in B&S.

I haven't seen pics of the jil sweats online.

Dlester, you should have a tailor re-do those baby cuffs and tell them to make the cuff size appropriate for a real man.

This is the first time where I didn't really like how your pants look, mellow.

fabric is 97% cotton and 3% spandex. Cotton reminds me of my BoO shorts. Lightweight and nice for spring.

Kelvin, I love these pants. I will post better fit pics next week. It's high rise, very taper at the ankle and cropped.

edit. +J uniqlo
