Many thanks to Antonio L. for the style tip
If the Macy’s house line Bar III took any kind of inspiration from another brand, it might be Reiss. Not to the extreme of Topman, but still modern and slim with a British feel. Which makes sense, being that they’re based in Britain. Button stances look a little high and jackets also look a little chopped, so be aware. It’s also a bit of a clearance, so sizes will be all over the place. Also know that you’re on the hook for returns.

Reiss Heston Navy One-Button Pinstripe Suit – $240 ($800)

Heston? Even if you have stinkin’ paws, this suit could make you look all business. Traditional wide pinstripe but with a modern one-button front with hacking pockets. 100% wool.
Reiss Bradshaw B Double Breasted Blazer – $139 ($465)

Another odd one. Modern double breasted blazer that was being sold as part of a pair of suit separates, but the pants no longer seem to be available. Ultra cheap for a wool double breasted blazer though. Not a look everyone can or would even want to try to pull off.
Hanbury B. Wool Mix Blazer – $223 ($445)

80% wool, 10% nylon, 10% poly. Web pics make it look like it has some shine, but if you zoom in you can see the grey is a worsted wool. So, the ol’ “Sharkskin” look might be in effect here.
Cotton Victor B Blazer – $127 ($425)

Bronze? Rust? Bronze that’s… rusted? Destined to be worn with jeans. Pick stitching on the lapels. Could have potential as a sportcoat in an unusual color that’s not neon at the same time.
Cotton/Wool Wilkes B Double Breasted Jacket – $139 ($465) & Matching Pant – $63 ($210)

If you’re considering taking a double breasted suit jacket for a spin, this might be a super cheap way to do it. It’s also ultra modern with that two button front. Tempting even for those of us who swear they’d never even try the DB thing. 57% cotton, 40% wool, 3% poly should make for an interesting fabric. Blue, but far from a deep navy blue.
Berkley Topcoat w/ ticket pocket – $360.00 ($540)

What? Too early to talk outerwear?
Okay guys… anyone got direct experience with Reiss? Thoughts on the fits if you do? Leave it below…
I really like that suit. One button is a little too casual for a navy pinstripe suit though.
They grey blazer only have one button. How do you guys feel about that ? I read it works better on shorter guys.
I am genuinely disgusted by that two button DB blazer.
It worked for Miles Davis, and I know I’ll never be as badass as him.
Is it from the future?
Looks like maternity wear to me. Not bad if you’re an executive AND expecting. Somebody call up Marissa Mayer.
I wish I had her number.
I can see why
about Reiss: I used to shop there now and again when I lived in the UK. Decent quality, although not at full retail prices. Fit was sometimes a bit too slim in the chest/stomach but that might’ve changed
I’m digging the “Rust” cotton blazer. It’s more exciting than chino without being too over the top. Too bad they’re out of my size 🙁
They made it easy for me- out of size 40.
How about length? I normally wear a long but am considering the Bradshaw B Double Breasted.
I had never heard of this “Reiss” store/brand and was genuinely excited when I saw this 70% off sale but now I realize why the stuff is so inexpensive. The navy pinstripe seems darker than it should be. And the double breasted jackets are just terrible. They put notch lapels on one of them and the other one looks like something Adam Sandler would wear on “Click”.
But the topcoat doesn’t look bad. Actually the heather grey color is pretty awesome. If it comes down a little more it should be a good pickup.
I didn’t know you could share a youtube link at a specific time in the video. Neat.
Went for the Camel (Bronze) suit and the Smith shirt in mint. Reiss shirts have usually fit well however last summers sale pieces didn’t.
Looking forward to experimenting with the suit.
Saw a number of variations on that suit in Paris a few weeks back.
Looked alright to me.
