I can’t figure out where the extra $$ comes from with this. I’m willing to pay those prices if there’s a reason but I haven’t been able to find it. It seems like just the same clothes as brands that cost 50% less. [/quote]

The pieces that I have — mostly jackets, are very well-made, from decent fabrics. Even the linings are nicely done.  If anything, I find them comparable to much more expensive designer lines at bridge prices, and a stellar value when I can find them on sale.

PP: Please suggest some brands that you feel are comparable, that cost 50% less. I’d genuinely like to know.

Well, I’m glad and maybe you’re just more knowledgeable than me. I tried a dress that was nearly $1000 full price and it seemed the same as other dresses I have from Vince, the saks house brand, etc. Maybe if I tried a jacket or something I’d see the difference. [/quote]

Maybe. I’ve never tried dresses or blouses, so maybe the tailored pieces stand out more (to me) vs other brands.  FWIW, I made most of my purchases from Saks — so those are the types of brands I’m comparing them with, although I once cleaned up at Nordstrom Rack, and got several jackets. 
My Mom used to sew, so when I buy a jacket, I’m looking at fabric and fit, but also looking at things like construction.  I’m not pushing the brand, just clarifying why I’ve found the things I’ve purchased to be excellent values.

I really would like suggestions re: less expensive brands that you feel are comparable. I have a sweater by Vince— but nothing tailored.  [/quote]
