Also we got in a lot of Incotex pants (made for the US - so classic fit not slim)! A lot of the super 150s are selling quickly...

Also got in a several Corneliani suits - only a handful left but we never announced them...

Question- how do the Vallentino suits run? Are they a more slim cut, or will a 44 be too large for me if I sometime can fit into a 42?
Thanks!

I was at your website and kudos, the stuffs there look great.

I hope I will be able to save up some cash and make a purchase soon. My budget is always tight so clothing even though is somehow a priority, needs to be planned in advance.

The Valentino suits do run a little small - when you say 44 are you referring to the euro 54? Because the euro 54 may work if you sometimes wear a US 42 (full cut 42).

Ha! no worries - many people seem to overlook the photo galleries - we need a better website and are working on it...

Hope to have some Benjamin sport coats at SOME point this year... don't want to make any promises as we've unfortunately been so far delayed with the most recent Benjamin suit offering we're expecting in 4 weeks...

No worries - many in the same boat.... we're certainly happy to offer luxury and quality clothing to the masses at a steep discount, making these desirable pieces within reach to many to whom it would not be otherwise!

Well I was referring to a US 42, so this might be an option, although on the site, the US 44/45 is considered a euro 56, so that might be too large. You don't have an actual storefront where I could try it on, correct? I go through your part of Jersey all the time....

Hi Ben,

For some items I've noticed that the photos opened by clicking the magnifying glass don't magnify anything at all. At least this is my experience when looking at your Borrelli shirts. For most other items though, yes, the magnifying glass does open a larger photo.

Also noticed that the "additional photos" does not work for some items, such as the following Brioni jacket: http://www.ehaberdasher.com/servlet/...-Medium/Detail (I do remember in the past though that the "additional photos" of this particular item worked)

Thanks!

I'm speaking in regards to the magnifying glass for the link to photo galleries where there are addidtional photos (mostly suits, some outerwear, etc.). Shirts and other items do not have a magnifying glass linking to additional photos. Yes, part of the problem with the current platform is that the photos did not expand if the original photo was smaller than 650x485, and almost all our pictures were 640x480.

Unfortunately the link to the Brioni jacket leads to a non-existent item - probably sold I suppose?

OK, thanks.

What are the odds - I've seen this particular jacket around for maybe a year or so, and now it's suddenly gone. Maybe due to me posting the link, someone found it and purchased it?

Could you share some of the new measurements on these suits? I think above you said that they were going to be slightly shorter and with a lower button stance. Here is an old 38S and 38R for comparison: 38R: Chest: 41" Shoulders: 17.6" Sleeve length: 25.5" Length from bottom of collar: 29.5" 38S: Chest: 41" Shoulders: 17.6" Sleeve length: 24.5" Length from bottom of collar: 28.9" I'm most concerned about the length because 29" fits me perfectly! Oddly, even though the regular was only listed at 0.6" longer (BOC), it looked WAY longer on me in person. My guess is that the front length of a regular is much longer that 0.6" if that makes any sense.

The button stance should be about 1" lower and the jacket about .35" shorter on the new model.

Can anyone speak to the quality of the Benjamin trousers? Seem like a good deal at $90. I'm looking at the flat front navy and gray ones
