The CM Graveyard: First Sartoria Partenopea... next J. Crew?
Well they seem to be doing better than everyone else so I guess they figured it out didn't they? "Total revenue was up 3%, to $4.32 billion, but that was slightly less than the 4% growth rate that most investors had expected to see. Net income of $201 million was up 12% from year-ago levels, and...- akoustas

The CM Graveyard: First Sartoria Partenopea... next J. Crew?
Yes....that's exactly what I'm talking about. Instead of having to go through the hassle of returning everything online and perhaps paying a fee, they just take things back and bend over backwards to make sure you're happy. That is a distinct advantage over the online experience that adds value...- akoustas

The CM Graveyard: First Sartoria Partenopea... next J. Crew?
What most of the retailers have been unable to do is differentiate themselves in any way from an online competitor. The pricing will be difficult given the associated costs of a brick and mortar location, so the obvious answer is that store design and service should be above and beyond to fill...- akoustas

@KaleidoscopicK Yup, the house brand is called Le 31, but they have other sub brands as well. It can be a bit confusing as the quality differs within the line but I've only had good experiences with the linen items. Much better than Massimo Dutti at least. To answer @nqtri ...Massimo...- akoustas

You can check out Simons online as well for linens. I bought a pair of linen trousers from them 3 years ago and they've held up marvelously.- akoustas

Lou Malnati's has the best deep dish downtown (not worth the trip further out for alternatives) Avoid Giordano's and the others. I'd highly recommend the Girl and the Goat, the Publican and au Cheval if you get out to the River District. Well worth it!- akoustas

I'd use caution with Ring jacket. Great great stuff but the sizing isn't very friendly for the North American build - even a slender one.- akoustas

To be honest common projects were OK at 300 bud 450 to 500 now is a joke. Far better options as @KaleidoscopicK pointed out. Heck you may as well go for MMM for a touch more- akoustas

Sully Wong is a pretty cool brand from Toronto. The only drawback for some may be that they use synthetics, but it's pretty good stuff and doesn't affect appearance or breathability. Kent Wang usually has a sneaker lineup as well- akoustas

Downtown. Carl helped me out, did his best to put together a nice deal. See if you can find him he's infinitely better than some of the other guys- akoustas

With alterations about 1600 for a jacket or a suit. I think my jacket was a pricier one so possibly less.- akoustas

On another note they're clearing out Isaia at Saks. I kopped a Blazer for 70% off with a $150 gift certificate bonus (got me a tie). I think they're only there another week. A few smaller and larger sizes left for suits and sports coats. I'm not usually a OTR guy but they make impeccable stuff- akoustas

@CanadaCal you're absolutely right. Boston is a fantastic city and Toronto would offer a very different cultural experience that I would argue is unrivaled in North America (save New York but it's more dispersed).- akoustas

Why would you send a tourist out to Mississauga? Come on guys.... Honestly, even with the dollar you're probably only going to end up slightly ahead. Come visit and have fun, but I wouldn't recommend it as a shopping trip.- akoustas

The price point on Westcomb gear still seems a bit steep to be competitive on price alone. I'm an avid skiier and they're up against some of the top mountain wear at $500-$600 for shells. Unless I heard something amazing from some reviews I can't say I'd be too tempted.- akoustas

Yes but only if it was made in Europe. European brands that have things manufactured outside would still be the same. As a keen buyer this makes the Brexit all the more painful...- akoustas
