I purchase Polo II suits on YOOX (apparently made for European Market) with all the same tags, i.e. Cornelliani, Polo II, etc. even the same fabrics at the US models but the cut is much slimmer with flat front pants and slimmer, tapered legs.

They range in the $600's with no tax and frequently no shipping charges as well.

Just a tip for those who like a slimmer suit in these fabrics for a reasonable price.

Does Yoox offer Short sizes? I don't think I've seen any listed the few times I've browsed.

i have not seen them, no. one would think as a secondary market seller they would have all different sizes... but i have no idea how that stuff operates.

As a tip for anyone considering these...I emphasize the OP's point that the pants are cut significantly different from the Polo II suits which are ordinarily sold in the U.S. I ordered one of these suits from Yoox, same size as everything else, the jacket fit great but the legs were just too slip, particularly in the thighs and seat area. I returned it.

with euro sizing, I have to buy one size up and get it tailored for the best fit, but think the cut is more flattering in the end.

They don't specify. I've never received anything labeled "Short," though I've received several items -- including some of the Euro Polo stuff -- that was cut very short. I've actually given up on the Polo sportcoats because they're consistently very short and often very waisted, giving them a weirdly feminine look on my frame.

I've ordered suits off of yoox which came as short, which were not marked as short on yoox... you kind of just need to judge it yourself
