    Sartorio (Kiton)

    So, I took my new Sartorio Suit to my tailor to have the pants hemmed and the sleeves shortened and she suggested that something was not right with the shoulders. She didn't understand the lack of padding and the puckering at the shoulder. I tried to explain to her that it is intentional and was...

    Armani suit.

    The Armani Zegna partnership was over in 2010. A simple Google search will turn up several articles referencing the breakup.

    Suit brands for slim men: fully canvassed/half canvassed/fused - the definitive list

    Armani Collezioni Suits have not been made by Zegna since 2010. I Purchased one that retails for $2300 and it's half canvassed. I was really hoping it would be a full canvassed and made by Zegna but it's not and I definitely wouldn't pay full retail of 2300 for a half canvassed monstrosity...

    Azul by Di Bianco

    So I bought a pair of the Azul by Di Bianco because I needed a pair of brown dress shoes and my budget was in the $300ish range. My actual shoe size is an 11 but I have narrow feet. So the first pair I ordered was too wide and was really sloppy in the heel. I ordered a 10.5 and they fit...

    Zegna Labels ID's for eBay purchasers (Graphic Intensive)

    Azul by Di Bianco

    I searched and couldn't find any thing anywhere, here or otherwise about this show. So I emailed the source, Di Bianco and this was the reply: This is a collection developed specifically for Off Saks. It is a blake construction with quality calf skins, hand burnishing, and an upgraded sole. In...

    The (Un)Official Thrift Buy /Sell / Trade / Want Thread

    OK, I really need to sell these 2 items and have them in the mail by tomorrow. What I am trying to get rid of are 2 new items, both with tags. The first and most painful of the two is this BEAUTIFUL Sartoria Partenopea Napoli Sport Coat. This baby retails for something north of $2000. It is...

    The (Un)Official Thrift Buy /Sell / Trade / Want Thread

    Hey all how is it going? I have 2 items I would like to move. I have a bit of an emergency and so they are both priced to sell (I think). Both are New With Tags. So, here they are: Sartoria Partenopea Napoli Light Blue US 40R Eur 50R Sport Coat Measurements on this jacket...

    Tuxedo pants destroyed now what?

    Oh ye of little faith! I purchased the jacket a couple of weeks ago and yesterday I was once again in the same thrift shop picking up a nice Oxxford Clothes charcoal grey jacket, a Hickey Freeman Madison gray suit, and happened upon a pair of surprisingly soft tuxedo pants. I didn't have the...

    Tuxedo pants destroyed now what?

    I saw in a similar thread that someone said by tradition dinner jackets could be paired with other pants if the originals aren't available. One fellow said he had several vintage jackets and only one pair of tux pants for all of them. Everyone seemed to accept that as ok. That's why I am asking...

    Tuxedo pants destroyed now what?

    What is the tradition for a tux jacket with no pants? Is it worthless? Can I substitute some other pants? Other tux pants? I ask because while thrifting I picked up a recent Ermeniglido Zegna for Neiman Marcus, in my size but couldn't locate the pants. I bought it hoping I would find them. I...

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    NO comment on the "Limited Edition" Collezioni stuff? My search using Google only turned up an article from 2008 and some Canadian clothier having some Limited Edition Alashan Cashmere Blazer, 50 total, for around $3000. Otherwise not much info. Kinda pricey for half canvassed if you ask me...
