Just a quick update on what I bought, I will PM everyone who asked for something, if your a size 38 then your in luck! Not so lucky if all you wanted was a navy suit, they weren't discounted at all or were in odd sizes that I couldn't risk buying.
Anything in 40? Btw, what did they say in the store when you bought all those suits? Did they still have the 2 suits for 150 deal?

I'm a 38 in Napoli and a 40 in pretty much everything else. Hope to hear good news on your purchases :slayer:

They were quite surprised when I kept handing them suits over to buy, I got a 10% 'VIP' discount but no, the 2 for 150 deal wasn't running, to be honest I think they were running low on stock in the conservative business dress friendly colours as there was hardly any discount on any navy suit.

I have a pair of these and whilst they look nice they're complete **** and are on their death bed after 2 years. Can't recommend their shoes.

Thanks guys. I was looking at these, but after your opinions I will stay of out their shoe offer.

If they were cheaper I would buy them to use them for weekends and in general a very rough use, but for that money... nah.

Meermin is cheaper, better looking, and has a better construction, even with the QC issues.

Guys - what you do in this situation.

I feel the shoulders are better on the Havana 36R, but just a tad tight on the chest and body.

Or do i go the 38R and get the waist and arms tailored in?
