Does anybody have any real life experience with the jacket below? I like the pattern/colours, but I’m afraid of the composition. 17% polyamide seems a lot, but I’ve never handled anything like this before.

@Delands I have several of the blends with polyamide and other synthetic materials. These jackets hold up nice and tend to get the most compliments because of the different texture. If it’s a Ferla fabric, you can’t go wrong. Ferla is by far the fabric maker who makes the most unique fabrics and garners the most compliments.

I got my first order. It's all pretty nice. I'm in the US.

Overcoats have different fits I think, the Irish Magee wool raglan overcoat is plenty roomy for another suit underneath, the E.Thomas DB overcoat, eh, probably not.

THe Jort suspenders are ALbert Thurston and made in the UK.

Just got to take a look on my stuff. I learned I don't like cotton suit. One of the cotton suits in Green also looks absolutely horrible (P5762), first time I've seen an real ugly suit from Suitsupply. Should have ordered an extra wool Havana but alas.

Thanks for chiming in! I might just take the plunge if it’s still available in my size. Risk is limited as well with free returns here in Belgium

Well yeah, me too, that's why I bought it. It's the White cotton cashmere E.Zegna DB tux.
The site says its full canvas, ill try mine, but I think mine is full canvas as I felt it when I got it. Amazing piece though.

What are in your opinions top outlet picks? I did not buy anything, but the grey DB jort or DB jort blue tux for 280 just ...

I'm only on the lookout for conservative suits and sport coats these days. The former will always, at least, be needed in moderation for important events or meetings, and the latter are just too enjoyable to give up even if WFH.

Seems like my gloves are both Peccary and Carpincho?

Jealous you all got access to Jort tuxedos. Either I missed them or they didn't stock any in 46L.

Really want that Havana Wool DB Dinner Jacket too but only available in 46R

What part of the US are you all in that you've received orders already? I'm in DC still awaiting shipment
