I thought that the flannel pin-stripe suits would be flying off the shelves on black friday. Did anybody purchase?

I purchased the navy one, it's with the SM tailor now, really excited to add it to my closet. It's a fantastic piece.

Speaking of the Chalkstripe, is there a difference in cloth between the S&M suit and this one https://therake.com/orazio-luciano-grey-chalk-stripe-vbc-flannel-wool-two-piece-suit.html

and if so, how can one cost $470 and one $2900?

Guys, we have to stop the “why does this cost this vs that cost that” topic.

Things cost what they do for a. multitude of reasons. We need to accept or reject that items worth based on personal perception, value prop, or desire.

I think there is a difference between same fabric from the same mill, but I doubt it would be a $2400 difference. It's mostly handwork (full canvas, handmade buttonholes, etc.) retailer markup, distribution cost, etc.

Probably a combination of made in Italy and more handwork (full canvas, etc). I like the side adjusters and button fly, but not for a $2,400 premium.

Edit- I see Thilgela beat me to it lol

Anyone have personal pics of the Blue Mix Texture suit?
This is the one with flap pockets (not patch).

Interesting. I also just bought my first OCBD from SM in the same size (15/33 slim) but I’m smaller than you and found it too loose. I’m 5’8” at 135lbs. I typically wear 15/32.33 in Kamakura’s Tokyo slim fit which fits me great.

5'9 about 145 now. At 165 to 170lbs 16 slim was a perfect fit. Currently at 145 to 150, 15.5 slim works but neck is better at 16, everywhere else 15.5 works better. Basically means mtm at some point or just don't button the top button. Typically wear medium in most other non sizing brands for casual shirts.

OK, I see your point. I was expecting someone to say it's not the same cloth.

So, I expect the answer is "hell no" but thought it worth asking - anyone confirm that we cannot get a price adjustment for something ordered before the black friday/monday sale but not yet delivered? AGain, I don't expect this but thought I'd ask

I don’t have pics, but I saw the trousers hanging on a rack at the store and asked what they were from. If I hadn’t already bought a new blue suit this year I would have bought this. Great looking fabric and the unstructured, patch pocket jacket would make for a decent odd jacket.

So my first foray into S&M oxfords did not go well sizewise. I typically wear slim mediums or 15 in neck sizing in most brands, but the 15/33 slim OCBD was way tight. Anyone have any guidance re: sizing for someone who's about 5'10" and some change and 155ish? Probably just going to order 15.5/34 now before they sell out, but half considering going all the way up to 16/34....

What fit did you buy? What are your chest/waist measurements?

This is why I have to be careful of the group think. If you recall when this was initially discussed how many guys were super gung ho about a Neapolitan flannel Chalk stripe. That enthusiasm didn't translate into sales. It's a beautiful suit.

Funny, i assume everyone here did. I definitely ordered on day 1 because of that. Oh well.
