Are you saying Canali is a better suit or it is a better buy.I agree with stu on this one. Â Canali's are better and can usually be found at a better discount (not making them better just cheaper). Â I think the fabric's are nicer but like you said Canali's are going up. Â In the last year i think they've gone from around 1150-1300 to 1350-1400 in the store that i work at.

It sounds like the Corneliani cut is closer to Zegna?In my opinion, Canali and Corneliani are sufficiently close in quality that the decision to buy one over the other should be based upon which cut fits you better. Â Corneliani has softer shoulders and is cut closer to the body, and is better suited for the young and slim.
Kai,I've owned both. Â My Canali suits have never worn out. Â I'm still wearing Canali suits I bought in 1990. Â They still look good. Â Â
I had two Corneliani suits. Â Both began to disintigrate after a couple of years (sewing came apart, suits began to lose shape, etc.) Â I ended up getting rid of them. Â
Canali is the best ready to wear suit for the money, as far as I'm concerned. Â If I was going to spend more, I'd go bespoke.
How would you compare Chan with Canali in general? I know somebody (maybe you) posted that he thought they were pretty comparable. I don't own any Canali items except for neckties. I do have one Corneliani suit, which is nice, but I like my first Chan suit better...although maybe I'm prejudiced because the Corneliani was OTR and the Chan MTM.This might draw flames but IMO Canali is a notch above Corneliani. I love Corneliani, but Canali suits, at a discount are one of my favorite buys. One of my nicest suits is a Canali dbl.-breasted 6 X 2 Navy pinstripe. The fabric blows away that on all my other suits, including a Chan and the other Canalis and Cornelianis, save for the Isaia, of course.
I think the shoulders on Canali are more pronounced than those on Corneliani as well.
