Hey, just interested in people's thoughts re: the quality of clothing at United Colors of Benetton. I've never considered them as a serious brand before, but today I happened to walk in and look at some of their clothes and was pleasantly surprised. The sport coats didn't feel particularly special, though they were cut slim and were reasonably priced (around $250 or so). I was particularly interested in the wool trousers -- they had a few flannel pairs that looked surprisingly good and again were reasonably priced around $140.

Thoughts on how they compare to Howard Yount, Incotex, other Style Forum favorites? I used to be a Mabitex guy myself but to be honest I'm no longer quite as slim as I used to be (5'8", 152) and find Mabitex a little too nut-huggy compared to how they felt when I was more like 146.
