  3. Tour Guide: “And each paper contains a certain percentage of recycled paper.”
    Lisa Simpson: “What percentage is that?
    Tour Guide: “Zero. Zero is a percent, isn’t it?”

  4. That has to be a mistake… Maybe the Linen and Poly should be switched? I am no lawyer, but I think they have to have something like 40% of a material to advertise it as such. I think I got that from the combat gent thread when people were talking about the ‘Super 140s wool’ they used.

  5. I feel like they should be forced to call it lynen, like the chicken wings that aren’t wings are called wyngz.

  6. > I am no lawyer, but I think they have to have something like 40% of a material to advertise it as such.

    To advertise it as a blend? I doubt it. Loads of stores do that, especially with cashmere.

    Uniqlo, for example, advertises their 10% cashmere sweaters as “cotton cashmere.” You’ll find yarn companies advertising their ~10% cashmere yarns as “cashmere blends.”

  9. Good point. I guess CG was calling it a Super 140s wool suit. Anyway… 3% linen? Do you guys really think this is right though?

  13. Right? No. Acceptable to call it what it is (a linen blend)? Yes. Always read the label if you’re interested in what something’s made of (as I am). Unfortunately, the masses don’t seem to care because they see the label, perceive quality, and buy. Dubious example is Lauren for Ralph Lauren.

  16. It’s probably 5 stars to those who never purchased a jacket before. Gotta remember these are Perry Ellis reviews. I doubt more than half of those reviewing this even read the fiber content or care about the construction of the jacket.

  25. I think at this point in the game, the Perry Ellis brand has been coasting towards retirement, selling lots of plastic in just about everything.

    I just tossed a PE reversible belt that claimed to be “genuine leather on bonded leather”. The brown “leather” side was just rubberized paint, and it started to peel away from the rubberish core.

  26. The first thing I do when looking over a piece of clothing I’m interested in, is to pull out the contents tag to see if it’s worth further consideration.

    Very often – but not *always* (JCF suiting is a notable exception), skimping on the materials indicates overall quality not there.

  27. well it is 70 bucks.So its kind of a buyer beware situation. Obviously a cheap money grab. But what can you do.

  29. At what point are you willing to admit that your sandwich made of 3% ham and 97% poo, is no longer a ham sandwich?

  31. Yes it is…the material you see pulling near the top button is his carotid artery getting ready to blow.
