Does anyone know if any of the upcoming sales (FF, Corp, or any other sale before the years out) applies to ordering suits via the Suiting Essentials MTO program (not the RTW stuff)? I think they start at like $695 or something, but I'm told at certain sales they are like $400+ Appreciate any help

Thanks everyone.

I was looking at picking up my first Peal & Co (C&J) shoes then, probably one of these two:

1000


I need the staple brown perf. captoe, but i like the red/brown captoe bluchers as well (fantastic color). What are the long term experiences for the brown perf. captoe, and does anyone have the red/brown captoe blutchers that can share how accurate the color is and what last it is on?

I think the problem with dark brown is that the patina doesn't develop very well.

That said, it's a staple, so go for it.

I don't mind the dark brown, but i would prefer a slightly sleeker last, is the 341 last a bit more tapered? Might order them from the C&J store instead...

Have you checked out the Edwards of Manchester sale? I think $200+ savings compared to BB C&J with the 20% kicker.

I got the chance to see the Peal & Co U-Throat Wingtip, and let me tell you, the color is stunning. It looks nothing like the website pics, so much that i had to do a comparison pic:

1000


It's more of a rich brown/red (chili) color, which is fantastic. What last are these on, it has a decent tapering:
