Their suits are made by Zegna, but are often better fitting for those of us who aren't portly or a gut to hide. Their shoes, along with Ferragamo, are probably the best out of the high end fashion designers.
When you buy high end designer you're paying for a mix of cut, design, brand name (and its associated quality from the house they contract with), and quality control.

Im thinking about Gucci for business attire. Meaning, suits, dress shirts, and ties. As far as I know, everything is made in Italy. But how is the quality? Gucci was definitely a hot brand 10 years ago, due to its mainstream exposure. Could the high prices be a result of that? Or a result of high quality and great clothes?Originally Posted by RetroFlow

Let's be honest here - you're paying for the brand label, even if it's hidden away inside the garments - YOU know you are wearing a $2000 Gucci jacket and that's much of the allure for many. I think they have been overtaken this decade in style by other brands but they still do some things best. Their loafers are still the best in my opinion - not the current season's overstyled pair, but the brown/black suede loafers with the iconic horsebit buckle - that should be a staple in any wardrobe. I wouldn't buy a suit there as there tons of better quality/better styled and cheaper options.

Suits, shirts, ties....
Gucci. I don't like them that much but they had a couple nice suitsa in the recent collection and you don't need to be 6'3" for it to fit ok.
