            >The Company derives important expertise in the ongoing development of production technologies and quality standards from its own production facilities. The four own production facilities are located in Izmir (Turkey), Metzingen (Germany), Radom (Poland) and Morrovalle (Italy). Izmir is by far the largest own production site. Primarily high-quality businesswear products such as suits, blazers, shirts and coats as well as the full range of womenswear are produced here. The Technical Center in Metzingen is mainly used by the Company to develop and produce prototypes such as sample and material testing pieces. Tailor-made suits and limited collections such as the “Made in Germany” collection presented in 2018 are also produced at the Metzingen site. High-quality business shoes are made in Radom and Morrovalle.

            I literally used to work for Boss and still buy from there regularly. Wearing a pair of Boss jeans right now and the label says they are made in Tunisia, not China.

          That $599 suit is fused. Poor people will either just buy used or get a full-canvassed suit from somewhere like Spier and Mackay. They might even try for a decent suit in Thailand. Rich people will buy a better suit from a better brand or go bespoke. These shit suits from legacy brands that have gone to shit aren’t selling to anyone in the know.

            Only some outlet store suits and Hugo diffusion line suits are fused. Hugo Boss (i.e. Boss black label) suits are not.

            There are fused ~~*((half-canvased*~~)) suit jackets in the black label line. This is pretty well known. Hugo Boss black label hasn’t been a mark of quality for at least a decade.

            They still can’t get the same style as Hugo Boss. Compare them and you will find that although most suits make someone look like an office slave
            or a groom, Hugo Boss suits make one look like a killer

          • Anonymous says:

            What are you talking about? Hugo boss isn’t traditional enough to be appreciated by menswear enthusiasts and not fashion forward enough to appeal to the people that wear designer. Their fused construction is shit and nobody but the absolute least educated people on menswear buy their suits.

            the difference is in style, if you understood fashion maybe you would know

            No they don’t. Suits that make one look like a killer are sharp, extra trim fit, the tightest fit you can get, with a particular sheen and cut that you do not find anywhere else. Virtually every single brand goes for middle of the road fits that only slightly lean in one direction or the other, making suits that make you blend in to the office or funeral. Hugo Boss is no different. Go ahead and prove me wrong—challenge mode: find one without a black model, kek.

    As a salesperson for Hugo Boss and long time buyer of their polo shirts, I can confirm that the quality of their clothing as steadily decreased. They are using thinner fabrics and have resorted to printing the branding on instead of embroidering. And don’t get me started on the horrendous logo change. At least the “Hugo boss” adds credence to the branding that it was once someone’s name. A shirt just saying “boss” on it in big letters is just tacky and toolish. For the new collections I avoid anything branded and just stick to the jeans, shoes and unbranded polos

    It’s just a garbage middle of the road brand. If you’re asking "is it worth the price?" then you must be very poor

    Like any other brand that has been coasting on name recognition alone, it’s not what it once was, and it wasn’t that big before.
    Today, it’s just a name to be licensed out to be printed on random t-shirts, polos, costume hebrewelry, and 3rd rate chink-made watches.
    Their stuff is always on sale at Macys, fer gawds sake.

      Oh bullshit. You can get a 100% wool Hugo suit for $599 at Nordstrom today, tailored.

      The fact a brand is sold at all in Macy’s and Nordstrom is a very bad sign. They cater to tasteless people with either too much money or just barely enough money to feel like they’re cultured when they buy it. I have worked for both and the average customer and product disgusts me. I don’t even consider Gucci and co. "designer" brands at this point. If I’ve seen you in inventory I automatically assume you must be a bad brand, no matter how overpriced.

    Not really, their suits used to be decent until maybe 15 years ago, but that’s about it, they’re just another fashion brand centered around trends now.

        true. But what now? Do we have a go-to place for suits? We can’t just go to a store or mall and buy a decent suit anymore, so where do we go now? I’m planning to find a secondhand suit and have it tailored but it sure would be nice to be able to go to the store and buy a nice suit.

        • Anonymous says:

          Ya it sucks, thrift stores are sadly the only place you can find a decent suit at a reasonable price. Your best bet for reasonable suits made to fit you is going to be SE Asia or China.

          You keep looking for brands that don’t allow products in malls and manufacture nothing in Asia or MENA.

          If none exist, well, time to get hooked up with an independant English/French habadasher, then.

      When you become a publicly traded corporation, it is no longer about quality, it is about profit. The corporate business structure is incompatible with elitism. It is about shareholders and the mass market, not vision.

      • Anonymous says:

        Sounds about right, but at least 40 years ago you could be publicly traded and be all about money while still not being a complete abomination. It seems they learned that they don’t even need to try to make a good product to make money, and here we are now.

        Honestly I doubt I could afford that, for now at least. That’s why I think buying the best quality secondhand suit I can find, then having it tailored, is what I’ll have to do.

    HB suits are for slim people, the appeal simply flies over the average amerimutt’s fat belly which is why the brand isn’t popular overseas.

    • Anonymous says:

      Try again, Neapolitan suits meant for slim people are becoming more popular here. We just rather not buy cheap, poorly-designed, fused suits.

          It doesn’t take a genius or even much fashion sense to tell you that cheaply made fused suits are bad, but please keep buying low-quality garbage. You’re coping and shilling is entertaining at this point.

          The only people that buy these suits are people with 0 knowledge on menswear. This is why their becoming more popular in America. The average American wears a suit maybe once or to funerals and church. Thanks for proving my point that this brand has gone to shit though.

            You are slightly mistaken. Hugo Boss *used* to be a brand favored by big city finance, but has long since lost that base.

        HB in America is more street wear now, the one close to were I live has a big picture of a nog and the mannequins are wearing tracksuits and casual shit with big logos.
        A few years ago they would only put suits on mannequins and the poster would be some chad wearing a nice suit. They are going after the Gucci/balenciaga crowd that can’t afford them.

          This. Pay attention to the race of the models and their objective attractiveness. That is now a shorthand indicator for a real designer brand vs a mass market luxury brand.

          It seems Hermes uses whites. I haven’t seen many adverts though.

            He looks like he was dress for the beach and threw on a black, double-breasted jacket at the last moment. He look too formal for the beach, and to informal to be taken seriously in any business meeting. A linen shirt would have served him much better.

            What’s the issue here. He’s """white""", wearing formal casual pants and a suit jacket over it that is indeed too loose and unfitted, but whatever. This is about as millennial appealing you can get while not throwing away your claim to being a European luxury brand.

            What the heck is formal casual? Is that what you come to the office in on business casual days? And Hermès still being a mark of ‘European luxury’? You got to be kidding me. There most well-know today for selling an overpriced H belt for the tasteless Nouveau riche.

    >What are the differences between a shop, store, and outlet of Hugo Boss?

    >I used to work at Hugo Boss. Always buy from the store of a full price retail. But first of all a shop and store are the same thing, but a Hugo Boss outlet is 90% different merchandise. 90% is specially made for the outlet, cheaper fabric and cheaper workmanship. You might think you are saving money but reality you are spending less money for the lower quality. Even at nordstrom, do not buy Hugo Boss there. All dress Hugo Boss shoes that are sold in nordstrom are made in China. The ones that are sold in full price retail are made in Italy. Macy’s is just a whole different thing and pretty much you are buying the brand and no quality, that is why they over extreme sales!

    The lesson here is that corporate brands will always become soulless.

    Their underwear is comfortable.
    When looking for Hugo Boss, I’d only choose the uniforms of their earlier work.

      How many times do I have to say this? Fused suits are shit. This brand’s only claim to fame to you morons are uniforms you can’t even wear in public. Their current offering are shit and I’ve yet to be shown otherwise, which is why you chose to post the uniform.
