Hi to all,

My first post here after a long time following this board. I recently made two decent suit/jacket purchases:

1) A SuitSupply Lazio Navy blue Wool Linen Suit (http://eu.suitsupply.com/en_GB/suit...g/Summer&prefn2=styleFit&prefv2=Classic-Lazio)

2) A Hackett Mayfair Charcoal and Blue Plaid Jacket (http://www.hackett.com/catalog/product/view/id/210593/category/10/?color=589)


I would like to know more about Italian made suits/jackets. I know that the likes of Attolini, Caruso, Tagliatore, Boglioli,Cantarelli, Sartoria napolitana, Sartoria partenopea that one can find on yoox.com use quality fabrics and are usually half/fully canvassed.

Do you know/can you recommend other italian made brands that use quality fabrics and have good construction that one can find on yoox or other places ? I am talking about low to mid price range (200USD-800USD).



Thanks.

Rubinho

Welcome to the forum, rubinho. Check out this thread post #1341, it ranks suit makers and their quality. It will provide you with a pretty comprehensive list.

Hello. Quick question. Does anybody know what I can do to get rid of the black spot on this Wolverine boot? Or at least make it less noticeable. The boots are made of oiled leather (if that makes any difference). Thanks..

I'll point you in this direction with a warning that the thread had been crazy with loads of bickering lately. That said, if you ask your question there, it's highly likely that you'll get a response that will do the trick.
