Next year I am definitely going to transfer all my stuff into the local store a week before the sale starts. Do you guys know how long the SA's can put merchandise on hold?

Thinking about summer, so decided to pull the trigger on another :)

BrooksCool Regent Fit Tic Suit

Anyone have any experience with the "woolish" brookscool suits? At $295, it sounds like a good value for a summer suit.

Any feedback on Milano Blazers? I don't want to miss the sale if it's any good

Thanks but that is definitely not c&j based on the price.


I ordered a pair in blue and one in sand. I don't know who makes them, but for less than $130 each, I thought I'd give them a try. And for what it's worth, there are 16 reviews, nearly all of which are very positive.

If you like the cut, they're worth a try. Returns are easy. I didn't like the skinny lapels and it felt a bit tight in the chest. I only tried one sport coat, bought and returned. I tried on a Milano suit in-store before and it fit better than the SC, but still prefer the Fitz or Regent cut … so YMMV.

I am very tempted to pick a pair up myself. I have them in my shopping cart but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Does anyone know if the BB shoes made by AE are eligible for their recrafting service?

Yes they are. Saw it on a different thread confirmed in an email from BB customer service.

I got interested in a sport coat in the last minute and called my SA to do an inventory check for me at 6PM. Hopefully he could find one in my size before the store that has it closes.
If I call the customer service and hypothetically locate one in a store that's already closed, can an SA bypass the rules and honor the 15% tomorrow?

C&J. They're the only maker using the square font for PEAL & CO.
Thanks. I noticed it also made on the 224 last. Typically do people size down 1/2 or take true to size on this last? I read that it's a pretty roomy last.

There is always some back and forth about this, I believe they are, you can always call AE and ask to make sure.

It's roomy in the sense that it has a high instep. If you have a low instep, it might not work for you.
