Just so you know, Isaia doesn't make private label for ANYONE. Any time you hear someone saying "this is made by Isaia" it is made by Michelangelo, our factory. It is a completely different facility. This is true for close to the last 10 years and includes makers from Arny's to Liverano RTW.

Edit: Nvm

Yes, thanks for the clarification.

I would like to know this as well.

Is there any chance to buy Eidos in the EU or Switzerland?
I can´t seem to find a retailer which I find strange since it is an italian brand.

I found it at Martin Patrick 3 in Minneapolis this weekend, but they had almost sold through the line. If you're an EU54 or EU56, though, they might be able to help you out. Interesting jacket in person with a fair bit of silk in the fabric to give it a very soft hand.

Nope. Every store we've shown it to in the EU says its too expensive and would rather I lower the quality and sell it cheaper. This is not going to happen while I'm involved. That said, there is a lot of the collection online at this point via Bloomingdales, No Man Walks Alone, Carson Street and Etonshirts.com

Carson Street Clothiers in NYC in offering 20% off this weekend for MTM Eidos.

Anyone have experience/thought on trying this?

Did you try Bon Genie Grieder in Switzerland? They stock all the usual SF favourites: Kiton, Isaia, Finamore, Boglioli etc.

Our factory sells Michelangelo-branded garments all over Italy but the feedback we've gotten from our Italian agents is that our jackets are too long and too expensive. What's worse is that the stores we do sell to don't pay for anything they order. Its more sad than anything else.

As we grow we will be able to focus on Europe more in general but at this time Quinton and I barely have time for the US market. That leaves the EU in the hands of our factory's Italian agents who do not really understand what we are trying to do.

I am happy to report that a friend of mine will open a new high quality menswear shop in Berlin / Germany in January 2015 and we have placed an order for the EIDOS SS 2015 Collection back in July 2014 so it looks as if as if we will be the first store in the EU to sell these fantastic jackets and suits.
By the way: We will also selling the fantastic Suits and Jackets from ISAIA.
Having been at Pitti and having compared many many producers I can neither confirm that EIDOS jackets are too long nor can I confírm that the products are too expensive.
