I think this is the Raffaele Caruso Sartoria Parma label.

And I am guessing this is the Raffaele Caruso label. One difference I could make out between the RC and RCSP is that the normal RC comes with the fake buttonholes and buttons sewn in while RCSP comes with unfinished sleeves

Gemelli is a store in Milan (Corso Vercelli. And around the corner of the well known Al Bazar), so this suit was made for their shop. Nice store btw.

And it is possible to convert this suit to a 2.5 roll. In fact, the construction for 3 and 2.5 is the same. So you can iron it to a 2.5 roll. Tried it myself one time, wasn't a success. But a good drycleaner can do it for you (as he did for a Caruso of mine).

I ordered mine, as well. It's a light earthy gray 3 roll 2.5. I should post some pics this weekend, hopefully. Mine, is NOT labelled Sartoria Parma, but rather mainline RC. I'm not sure how they differ from each other (mainline RC vs RC-SP), but it looks like a great suit, and would be a good fit with the upcoming summer heat/humidity...

ajdel,I think the suit jacket is a tad short (for my taste) but the suit fit is decent. For RTW suit, you can't get any better. If only it was 3 roll 2

^^ I think it is mostly due to the angle that the jacket looks short and the shoulders looks very squared off.

Anyways, did you sell the RLPL cashmere suit you bought recently ?

Yes,it was sold to another member. I think it would be a great suit for a hot weather in India and where I am,unfortunately, it was little too big for me and I didn't feel like taking it to a surgery.
If I could find it in 40L,I would be all over it.
