As in black suit. They also have a black with grey stripe, and a charcoal. But if you're getting super 180s made for Kiton, what else would it be?

In all seriousness, if you really want a 180s suit (and I never would), this is excellent cloth at an excellent price.

I went for one thing, and one thing only, and by the grace of God I got out of there with only that.
