A lot slimmer, probably two sizes down compared to the aforementioned brands.
The sleeves are real narrow too, you can tell by the model pics.
Churchs is a lot better in quality than AE. In EU, I believe Churchs is one of the top shoemakers and I would rate AE on the same field as Grenson, Loake andTrickers, although each of those brands have their own respective high-end line. COme to think of it, I might rank AE slightly below those brands as well.

Thanks RFX ... the one from the weekend is in an oatmeal ... kinda like a light brown. i have another one in a medium gray. The two pretty much cover the basesfor winter wear. Is Jason from TaT? I've seen some of his work on SF, and its a hit or miss. If he is in Cali - i'll recommend actually setting anappointment to get fittings done before you take the final product off his hands.
Churches are great shoes - very comparable to AE. However i dont think you should be buying them for 550. They go for 200-300 easily online.

No doubt. I was just saying 'Damn' at the huge difference and the fact that I was this > < close to pulling the trigger on it in asize I usually wear. And if I had done so, it woulda barely came to the middle of my chestOriginally Posted by RFX45

What size did you get?

Where abouts are they going at this price online? I've looked but couldn't find anything near that price.
Another good brand very similar to Church's is Crockett & Jones. Very nice stuff.

I got myself a size small. Well, I maybe exaggerated a bit, but it is on the slim side.
Yup, Jason is from TaT and he is actually only an hour drive from me, I just rarely have time to do meet-ups.
Some of his clothes a hit or miss, mostly in sizing and fit but that is what happens with online mtm clothes.
Overall though, I like their house cut and the modern look, shorter jacket length, narrow lapels, slimmer silhouette, etc...
They also have a great selection of materials and colors, which is a plus. Then again I can't decide which color would be more versatile.
I was thinking light grey or a darker brown/green, similar to these Billy Reids:

Suit worn the other day.
Cost me $0. Hand me down from my pops. It's funny, out of all my suits this cost me the least but its actually one of my favs.

I've been patiently waiting to cop some Clarks dessert boots for the cheap and I'm getting impatient. I need a sand or a beige one.

I haven't posted in here lately, but I just wanted to let you guys know TJMaxx has stuff marked down beyond their normal discount. I just got a Ben Shermandress shirt for $20 (I've seen similar ones for more than $75) and a Ralph Lauren dress belt for $20 (the retail tag said $125). Just a random good dealand a heads up for my NTers...

what do you guys think about H&M suits? Im in london til december, and over here, they run about 40-50 pounds for the suit jacket, and about 30 pounds forthe pants. Converted to US dollars, thats less than $140 for both the suit jacket and pants combined. Is that cheaper than the H&M's in the states? Isthe quality worth that amount of money?
I know H&M suits are poor quality compared to more high end stuff, but i cant afford anything expensive, im a college student and i just need something forcareer fairs, networking events, interviews. something not too pricey, that'll just get the job done, while still looking somewhat decent. what do you guysthink?

i think the light grey is the most versatile. depending on the options you choose (patch pockets, ticket pockets, side vents etc) you could wear the jacketalone, the jacket + vest with jeans/pants, the vest with another suit or the pants alone.

thanks man, ill be back home in the states mid december though, and theres actually a banana republic factory store right by my house. so if i gowith BR, then it'd probably be a better idea just to wait til i get back? do you know what kinda prices i could expect at their factory store? only reasoni was thinking about buying a suit here was cause i thought the H&M prices here might be cheaper, $140 seemed pretty inexpensive for suit and pants. but ifnot, and if i can get better quality for close to the same price, i can def wait.
