Poll: Attolini vs. Rubinacci vs. Steed

Thanks for the comparison! Very gracious of you.

Looking at the photos more carefully, I'd actually give the nod to the Attolini's primarily because the length is around 1/2 inch longer than the Rubinacci's and Steed's.

Wow, I would need two measuring tapes and a calculator and the actual coats to get that kind of intel info!

The jackets all look very nice, but for me, Steed #4 and 5 take the cake. They have more character compared to the other jackets. Those are the most anonymous-looking Rubis I've seen.

This is a bit off the point, but it's the fabrics and mixing which I find unsuitable. I find virtually all the sportcoats too loud and they become even worse when combined with other items which really don't blend elegantly at all.
Even the plain navy suit is thrown off by that wild pocket square. The dinner jacket of course is fine - not a lot you can do to mess that up. Sorry. I'm sure most Americans will object to my assessment, however.

so the people who get their stuff from Naples like the Attolini and Rubinacci and the people that get their stuff in england like the Steeds. Wonders never cease.........

In the photos, the Attolini's look more harmonious somehow. But, since I've seen some of these worn in real life, I'm not so sure my preferences based on these photos would translate.

You left out the office pant wearing peanut gallery, aka the silent majority.

Just check out where the coats land on Monty's thumbs. They are lower on the Attolini's while right at the bottom of the thumb on the Rubinacci's and Steed's. This makes the quarters appear more balanced to my eye.

I like some English stuff more than the rubis posted, but I like steed's clothing, almost to a piece, less than almost every other English tailor.

I think the real issue here is : what the **** do you do, and how can i do it? Suits look great, Attolini looks the best. -Geoff

After 6 pages of discussion, it's good to see someone finally cut right to the heart of the issue.

Thanks.

That was a moderately serious question, too.

I dont think any of them look bad. I like the way that the first Attolini fits, and the Attolini navy pinstripe.

I like the first Rubinacci except the pant. Maybe their Naples shop would work better, the stuff they're putting out for Matt look fantastic.

FTFY.
