Brioni definitely appears real to me. Having said that, I am suspicious of European sellers whom I do not know. There are simply too many counterfeit sellers out there. I would only buy from someone who frequents the forums and is known to folks or who could be recommended by a knowledgeable person who has actually had dealings with him/her.

And the Vestimenta that almost caused the death of menswear in the 80's-- it would be perfect for the used car salesmen along "dollar down and a dollar a week" row here in sophisticated Arlington, Texas.

If that's the case, I have a black 120s 'Zegna' that a younger, naiver me paid for with Western Union from a seller in Germany that you'll love. I knew there was something wrong with the suit even then; these days I know that even the label was fake.

I like DB Tuxedo. But shoulder seam to seam is 18" and armpit to armpit is 16"

Interesting ventless, strict 3B, silk blend Boglioli. I'll be in this at the end unless it goes nuts, in case anyone's wondering. And the winner gets a free ticket to the mysnappydeals/bondysbayauctions 'what's in the box?' lottery

Well, before this gets into too much Blondy's/mysnappydeals bashing, I snagged this on Thursday night. He shipped it Fri and I received it today. It is magnificent, genuine, flawless and other than needing a good steaming from being folded (neatly and in tissue paper with a little gold sticker) looks nearly new. Pockets are still sewn closed. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&ih=010
