I believe they are the real deal. If they are fakes, the guy has plastered fake Zegna tags in the suit (these are not simply "Tessuto Zegna" tags). I emailed with this guy once and I think they are the real deal. However, I don't know whether the Swiss made suits are as good as the Italian ones, but I imagine they are. You might want to ask for details re: the pants. The Zegnas intended for the Italian market often has uber-narrow pants. Who knows what market these were intended for.
