    Winter sales in Milan

    I own a MTM suit/shirt company so I'm not really in the market for these, unless I see some crazy deals. Mostly thinking shoes, sweaters, suspenders, gloves, etc. I'm definitely going to check out Al Bazar and Mr. Raro's new shop on Via Bigli. I definitely need some nice double monks too.

    Winter sales in Milan

    Hey guys I'm heading to Como for business in early January and will be staying in Milan for one day (Saturday the 10th) and was hoping to do some bargain hunting since sales will have begun. Since I only have a day I'm gonna need to be well prepared and was wondering if you guys had any tips...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Hi guys I'm about to order some boots in the Hiro last. Allen Edmonds I wear 11D (borderline small, almost perfect with thin socks) so I'm thinking I should go with 10.5 here. Anyone with similar experience?

    Thanks for the input. I can get MTM suits at factory prices so the jacket would run me less than $150 (half-canvas w/ horn/MOP buttons and Bemberg lining) and I have plenty of other sport coats. I was really just curious what you guys thought about that fabric.

    What do you think about this pattern for a summer sport coat? It's wool/linen/silk (60:30:10) and I would get it unlined and unstructured.

    Got you all. I'm just having a layover in Dusseldorf and travelling with just carry-on so I won't be able to proxy for anyone, but I'll let you know what they have. I contacted SS and they told me the outlet gets new stock on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I'm hoping for a nice selection.

    I'm heading to Roermond next week (Thursday). Anyone want me to keep an eye out for some specific cuts/sizes at the SS outlet?

    Suitsupply NYC

    Has anyone been to the outlet recently? I'm thinking about flying through Cologne on my way home from Napoli and drive over to Roermond to pick some things up for cheap. Can I expect to find some good stuff there like Havana, Lazio and Washington suits/jackets in 98, or is it mostly odd sizes...

    Awesome post. Really appreciate it.

    A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

    Really appreciate you taking your time to reply Sam! To be clear, I wasn't doubting the quality of your ties at all. So to be completely clear, if the twill seems to lie at lets say 20 degrees, that has nothing to do with the silk being cut to the bias?

    I was just browsing and trying to learn about what makes a quality tie a quality tie. After doing some research I found out about the silk being "cut to the bias" or 45 degrees. Does this method of cutting the silk mean the stripes on the ties (the weave, not the pattern) will lie at 45 degrees...

    I know Hobers are quality. That's why I used them as an example. Hopefully Mr. Hober can chime in here.

    A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

    Yeah. I figured that on patterned ties it has to be horizontal or diagonal so it doesn't throw of the symmetry of the pattern. I'm more curious about solid ties that have asymmetric twill.

    From what I've heard, the stores carry less then the website.

    These ads: a) piss of a lot of people, but mostly women and others who are unlikely to purchase from Suitsupply to begin with b) give them a lot of publicity, which will probably help them sell more suits Sounds like a good marketing strategy to me...

    I'm pretty sure the prices are the same.

    ^Probably just sold out from their warehouse. I don't think they ship products from the store...

    Does anyone have this suit or can offer some thoughts on it? I really like how it looks, and Havana fits me better OTR than anything I've ever tried. http://eu.suitsupply.com/en/suits/havana-light-brown-plain/P3726.html
