This isn't some Canal street peddler that runs off when the cops come by, it's 15 of the top 20 suits on the most visible retailer in the world. If you really think that thousands and thousands of people bought these suits without a single one noticing a rather obvious mislabeling in wool grades, please send me your video on what "really" happened on 9/11.
Frankly, you're better off claiming that the pictures on the site themselves are faked. Because if they're not, there's no way that one can claim anything near "Men's Wearhouse quality" with a straight face. I mention styling because that's the one caveat one might have.
Not to mention the epic fail in bragging about Brooks Brothers. You don't shop there to brag about it, you shop there to have your clothes be invisible... Kids these days.
Anyway, enough of the thread crap. It's a deal, it's $100, and it's a way for people who probably don't buy suits to buy a decent one without hassle. If you don't like it, don't buy it. You aren't Alan Flusser.
And how many lead filled toys were sold on the "most visible retailer in the world"? It isn't conspiracy theorizing, as this government isn't great at picking up things like this.
Wow, so a bunch of people buy it and say it's good. Great. What's their prior experience? Buyers remorse? Long-term quality?
You're calling me a "kid" and using "epic fail"? ROFL.
You sir, are are being foolish.
Lets examine your logic: the market works so poorly that Amazon can get away with selling mislabeled suits of much lower quality than advertised and no one calls them on it (not to mention the lead toys). On the other hand, you assert that if the suits were indeed of comparable quality to a $1,400 retail suit then the market works so effectively that the $1,400 suit vendors would be immediately forced to lower their prices. Sorry, but you can't have it both ways.
What is actually happening is that just like on so many non-perishable non-heavy non-bulky products an online vendor charges a lower price and doesn't offer the same convenience or service of a retail shop. I notice you aren't telling us that $10 online HDMI cables will force Monster Cable to drop their prices, and yet we all know the quality is all but identical. Likewise some less expensive wine, food, even cars can be just as good as higher priced models if the makers can accept lower margins or operate more efficiently.
Considering making a suit involves essentially 1800s era technology and that the main ingredients are cloth (cheap to manufacture) and labor (cheap to provide in certain locales) why is it so inconceivable that an extremely efficient vendor, with very low costs, very low overhead, very few employees, etc. couldn't offer a very low price? After all, the OP (and other reviewers) have all stated their first-hand experiences with these suits and attested to the quality. It doesn't surprise me you wanted to resort to conspiracy theories to try to argue your point.
Finally - Brooks Bros? Really? Don't you think their shoppers could be a tad interested in the name and service over the objective quality? Sheesh, you must buy your jewelry at mall stores too.
