i once had a shirt by that manufacturer, in 1995, but haven't really seen the name since. what do the lapels and buttonholes look like (stitching, etc.)? by the way, is there a neiman marcus near you? you may want to go try on, and see the details of, suits from Oxxford, Brioni, Kiton, etc. to get a good idea of what to look for in a quality suit. in the less expensive models, of course, you won't get everything these suits have, but you'll see some key points on what you can look for (edge stitching on lapels, shoulder shape from hand-felling, the look and feel of hand-stitched buttonholes, etc). Also, you may want to read up on 'buying a quality suit' in one of Alan Flusser's books. -my 2 cents
