Paul Stuart Suit?? Worth the Bang?

Aren't some Paul Stuart suits made by Saint Andrews in Italy? Or am I mistaken?

My top of the line Stuart's Choice suit is made in Italy by St. Andrews.

I'm not sure of the retail of mine but I'm pretty sure it's over 2000. The top of the line is called Stuart's Choice. If it doesn't say that it's their mainline.

Made in Canada are Samuelsohn, no?

Here's the stuart's choice tux and the retail is $2,700

I think the Canadian ones are made by Samulson or so it seemed from the jackets that showed up in the B&S section. Samulson makes a fine suit and IMO is the best that this country has to offer save for bespoke but I wouldn't pay that kind of money for them. STP has some for $550 or close I do believe.

The Italians are St. Andrews, and the Canadians are Samuelsohn. That's a lot of money for a Samuelsohn (which is a great garment but available for much less), but if you like the supposedly exclusive fabric and "design", have at it.

I love Stuart shirts, but I do not know much about the suits.

How are they cut? Slim?

I thought the italian Stuart's Choice stuff (or at least some of it) was Isaia.

i also believed this to be true. i do know that i got that information about 2 years ago, so maybe it has changed?

cant argue with you there. as i say, its been a long time since i looked at their suits. at the time, the made in canada stuff was at a price point of around $1200 (or something like that) and the made in italy stuff was at around $2400 - this was before the phineas line came out. i have no idea what kind of price points they have for their lines now.

$1200 seemed reasonable enough for the samuelsohn make at the time...but not at $2000. though truth be told, i wouldn't be spending $2000 OTR period, regardless of where it was made.

Isaia used to make for PS, I'm pretty sure they no longer do so.
