No, it'll be sooner than that.  In production at the moment…

Where do people buy their suits from? I need one to interview. Looking for something decent that looks good, but not looking to spend like that RRL $$$$. I'm in nyc if you're recommending a physical store but I'm happy to do online as long as there's a good exchange policy.

I have a Hickey Freeman suit that I got from Nordstrom Rack. You're in nyc so should have no problem finding decent suits or stores that sell them. What's your budget?

That's a good idea to try Nordstrom Rack. I guess I'm looking to spend about $500 which seems average for suiting from what I can tell. I just need something I can wear like a couple times a year when I need to.

Yeah, Nordstrom Rack or any of the high end outlets (Off 5Th Ave for Saks, Last Call for Neiman Marcus) will all have a decent supply in that price range.

Saks also usually offers pretty aggressive discounts seasonally - I’ve seen some really nice suits in that price range in Mark downs at the normal store.

In all honesty, you could go to Theory (I think there is a store either around 5Th or in SoHo) and get a brand new suit for about that price as well. I always loved Theory for my dress clothes.

Also, it’s not really “luxe” tailoring, but you can get a Suit from Jos A Bank for like 350 bucks and have it tailored very well for under $100 bucks.

Example (Not My Wife):

You can also go to the JCrew Liquor Store in NYC and get suit separates for about $500 together made with really nice materials:

The only suit I wear now, is a navy blue heavy linen Ralph Lauren Purple Lable that I bought at a Ralph Lauren outlet for under USD200.  I had to let the waist out about 2 inches a couple of years ago, there's no room left for getting any larger…..

$500 is about what I paid for my HF suit. I think it's one of their MiUSA mainline suits. I've found Nordstrom Rack to be hit or miss in my neck of the woods, but you might have better luck with NR, Last Call or Off 5th in NYC as @Appfaff mentioned.

I'm pretty sure @Giles said he ordered a good amount. I'd be surprised if none of the IH vendors picked this up. It's a great looking jacket.

Suggest Suit Supply which has a store in Soho and Kent Wang if you want a MTM suit which they do very well.

Thanks GC, which color cord trucker you going for?

Also do we know if there will be more whipcord colors in this type 3 configuration or just the olive?

I'm leaning towards khaki if my bank account can handle it. Otherwise, brown is my second choice. Lots of vendors carrying it too so i'm not terribly worried about it selling out. Worst case scenario, it sells quickly like the ihm-20, best case scenario, it moves slowly and I manage to nab one. Guess we'll see.

@Giles said the whipcord type III is only being made in olive at the moment.

I think it was a very small L.  We are tweaking for production…..

IHUK is getting a total of 40.  If they fly, then I'll do another colour

Retailers getting them...

Rivet and Hide
The Shop Vancouver
Denim House
Kentaurus

[Dishelveled]

Great. Thanks, G!

Surpised more retailers didn't jump on this bad boy–maybe the popluar corduroy trucker satiated their thirst/budgets.

Stoked to crack my trucker cherry with one or both

i'd love to see a khaki variant with brown cord collar like the ihj-61.

Thanks everyone for your suit advice! Buncha good options here.

[Sage954]

You might also get lucky and find a nice suit at one of the many second hand stores in the city with money left over for a good tailor.
A well fitted "cheap" suit will look much better than a poorly fitted Brioni.
