Picked up what I believe to be the grey POW this morning for £829! I will have to double check the codes when it arrives but it looks like it to my eye.

I was/did. But the price on the grey POW suit was too good to pass up - it’s the best of the bunch in my opinion.
I did sell my 40R in the blue POW, and that’s a nice one too. The fabric was very soft on that one likely due to the silk content. But I agree with Matt from Bond Experience that the grey one is more unique, even if the fabric isn’t as high grade (the grey is a ‘B’ fabric, while the blue is an ‘H’ fabric).
B fabrics are the most basic woolen or cotton fabrics, and H fabrics are finer wool fabrics sometimes mixed with silk, linen, or something else. It's identified on the tag under 'Tessuto'.
Beyond 'H' you're getting into wool above super 150s or cashmere.

My TF QoS Harrington was hit with around a 10% import duty into the US for me. Others were charged more. No rhyme or reason to it.
Anybody who I can get a size for will be contacted separately. Window closed.
Thanks!
Hey everybody,
Sorry for the crickets. Sizes were limited (which is not surprising at 70% off), but I did get my hands on a few.
If I didn’t contact you directly, then that means I didn’t have your size. Apologies if it didn’t work out for you.
Hey everybody, another update.
There may be a 40R available in the blue POW. PM me if interested.

Congrats, mate!
I got the last 50 after stumbling on it today.
I picked up a 50 and a 52 just to make sure I got the right one. No idea on TF sizing so wanted to make sure I didn't miss out!
Do you have other O’Connor suits?
This is my first Tom Ford purchase :)
A very reasonable rate of return, Monsieur Le Chiffre!
Thank you kind sir. Slightly off topic, but I have suspicions that these are the Jamaica jeans too.... available for £219.

Wow. flannels is really killing it today.
Didn’t you said you selling all your Bond stuff?

I’m still after Blue POW SIZE 48IT. Theses can’t/shouldn’t be altered size down,just because of pattern. Otherwise would snap that one.
Congrats everyone who managed to snap one 🥃
What's a B or H fabric?
Tom Ford price band their suitings by alphabet. a, b, c are at the reasonable (for TF) end of the scale...H higher price banding and so on.
How in the world did I not see this thread sooner? 😪
If anyone spots a deal even half this good on any of the suits, please mention it here.
That's right.
B fabrics are the most basic woolen or cotton fabrics, and H fabrics are finer wool fabrics sometimes mixed with silk, linen, or something else. It's identified on the tag under 'Tessuto'.
Beyond 'H' you're getting into wool above super 150s or cashmere.
Surprisingly, TF doesn't do vicuna.
The 'H' suit is a very lustrous fabric. Has an almost liquid-like quality to it (likely from the silk). Also wrinkles easily.
The 'B' suit is hardier, and has a tiny bit of stretch that mitigates some of the wrinkling.
Interesting! Thanks for the replies!
