Has RLBL fallen out of favour with SF? - Page 8

The Navy Anthony Suit that I have shown above has belt loops on the pants, whereas online they have side pull tabs. Anyone know if this is a really old season stock or something?

The only one I saw this past season with loops was black with a light stripe and was a three-piece. Perhaps the AU market got slightly different styles than elsewhere? If you post a pic of the tags inside perhaps one of our resident experts could help date the suit.

Question:

Where do you guys find these suits for $800??? I can't believe I paid the full price

Comment:

I am a 6ft tall 165 lbs and RLBL suits fit me very nicely. I can't find others that fit me as nice as RLBL. But I still can't believe I paid the full price for a black and a navy blue solids. ugh. And as fabric quality goes, I heard that you can tell about the quality by wrinkling it with your hands, hold it, and let it go and if the wrinkles go away rather quickly then it's a good quality cloth. I am no expert so correct me if I am wrong. I wear suits everyday and rotate them and notice that my RLBL suits unwrinkle faster than my Zegna ones. Just a pure observation and I am not making any statement. And I got the $3k Zegna suits not the sport or their other lines. 

 

Speaking of Zegna, I just purchased a Torino cut. Any opinions?

 

Could be have cheaper if you hunt around. 

 

 

+2.  I am 6' and I think my 42R are too short.

Yea, at this point I can really only wear the regulars for less formal occasions without a tie. However when a tie is required it looks like I'm trying to combine a fashion-forward look with a conservative business look and failing on both counts.
