Not thrift prices though. Discount store clearance.
Edit: I passed. The more I looked at it the more snags I found.
They are the most fragile silk ever.It's a definite pass. However, if you stare at a brand new Charvet tie long enough, runs and pulls will spontaneously appear. It's the Charvet phenomenon.
so... what is this? an 80s civvy flight jacket with a vietnam-era blood chit sewn into it?
Thanks for the explanation. Do you happen to know much about the construction of both LBM1911 and the Luigi Bianchi Mantova lines? Canvassing? Looking at a few pieces recently.

noob question
what is the difference between LBM 1911 vs Luigi Bianchi Mantova? Same brand different line? (ala EZ vs ZZ?)
Not intended to correct you because you are fairly on the point with it being diffusion, the small difference is diffusion brands are also made to be cheaper, widely accessible, and of less quality. Now LBM 1911 is slightly cheaper, and is more accessible, however the quality is still there, it's just, as @jdrizzy stated, a more contemporary line featuring slimmer cuts, cropped jackets, bolder patterns, less structured jackets etc.. EZ and ZZ are not at all comparable. The Z Zegna line is a renamed/relaunched version of the Ermenegildo Zegna Soft line that was produced up til about 10 or so years ago. It's made in Mexico, the pieces usually have some percentage of synthetic in them, and are fused garbage. This is a true diffusion line in every sense.Yeah, diffusion focusing on younger trendier pieces. Pretty sure atleast
I just recently had a basketweave, open woven silk, Charvet in my possession and sold it, it was a consignment item. I literally handled that thing like it was a faberge egg, it was ******* begging for the slightest excuse to catch a run. Came out unscathed, no clue how. Hate they sell so well, makes the 50% chance your gonna get a pull in it before you sell it suck that much more when it happens, if it isn't already fucked to begin with.It's a definite pass.

I thought the sartoriale line was full canvas, there was so much hand work id be surprised if they only went with half
