Use the code MUSTSHOP and get 40% off to get the suit for $260+tax. Free shipping.
Even better, make it a 3-piece by adding the vest.
i want to pull the trigger on this but ordering a suit online is so iffy. how will you know how it fits? any advice?
I bought this suit online a couple of weeks ago. The pants are PERFECT but I haven't gotten the vest yet. Ships Feb 15. I will try to give more feed back later
I really hope the vest and pants dont wear like that. Your vest should cover your belt loops and shirting. The rise on those pants are not a good look in comparison to the vest.
Zara like H&M is considered fast fashion because they imitate runway looks very fast. IIRC their turn around time are around 4-6 months to produce almost exact copies from designers. Usually, it takes longer, about a year or 2 for it to be copied. A FW08 designs can be seen on cheaper brands during FW10. So Zara and H&M has become fast fashion because their factory can duplicate looks and sent to the stores within months time. As everyone knows quality isn't the best but a lot do not care about that. You'll also notice that the trend in the U.S. can usually be seen in Japan or Europe a year or so ago.Originally Posted by SkunkInDunks
Trying to wrap my mind around this quote I just read in a case study called Zara: Fast Fashion.
Fashion is the imitation of a given example and satisfies the demand for social adaptation....The more an article becomes subject to rapid changes of fashion, the greater the demand for cheap products of its kind. - Georg Simmel, "Fashion" (1904)
My interpretation:
Fashion is people copying other people to fit in and the faster this changes, the less expensive the items must be.
Thoughts?
Your first couple of sentences basically summarize what this Harvard Business Review case study explains in detail. They break down Zara's business model and compare it to the Gap, H&M and Benetton. Pretty interesting stuff, if anyone is interested in reading it let me know and I'll email it to you.Originally Posted by RFX45

I also read somewhere that in Italy or France and Japan, fashion changes almost every season and that is why they buy clothes all the time. Some are slow progression while others are fast. One season some can look grunge and then the next it's steam punk and then goth ninja the next. In those parts of the world, that is what I would consider fast fashion, constantly changing.

Not really that impressed with the Heritage Poplins that everyone raves about (including GQ). They seem very cheap quality but for $8 I guess I get what I paid for. I would never buy em for full price. Anybody else get these shirts and like them?

I received my shipment a few days ago. The quality isn't that great and the overall fit isn't that great. The shirts seems way too long and it kinda balloons at the waist area.

Yes---the arms are slim but the waist isn't it all. Looks rediculous tucked in but cuz they were so cheap I will just keep em. Anyone know where to find some better gingham shirts?

Wondering if I should pay their $15 or have my tailor do it. Not sure if I can get to my tailor before this sale/coupon is over.

i pay 20$ for mine but it's perfect and i get it done by my shirt store ... my tailor is cool but i rather the work be done by the company .... if i have any issue they will resolve it ... if my tailor were to mess up ...
i would trust TM but how much would your tailor cost ... and how good is ur tailor ?
