    Well, not necessarily. There's more that goes into than that. A specific color, price, cloth, when's it needed. Sometimes you have to weight things up.

    I'm not actually doing a breast-stroke. So yes, I exaggerate a bit. The pants needed to be completely re-cut though. Sometimes venting a little is cathartic. Found a terrific tailor and the suit now fits me fantastically. Cost me but was worth it.

    So they've moved production to Slovakia but are still trading off the Made in Italy cachet? What is wrong with people? It's not about the country it was made in, it's about being truthful. I was offered a $100 gift card for my troubles. Declined it. I don't want their money. I want them to...

    I just purchased a suit via ralphlauren.com, Polo Twill. The description states Made in Italy. When I received the suit the tag on the jacket says Made in Slovakia. I've got a few suits and I've never encountered a situation like this before, where the maker misleads so blatantly. Is this normal...

    Drop 8 Suit Fit

    Hello all, I’m after a new suit and have two finalist – ZZenga Drop 8 and Hugo Boss suit separates. I’m a 40 jacket, 30 waist. Would the ZZenga pants ever fit as well as native 30s even after tailoring? I suspect no. I’ve got a Paul Smith suit bought as separates that fits superbly. As I look...

    Sandro Suits

    I would be using the jacket for casual and business engagements on a limited basis, i.e. not everyday or even every week for that matter. The particular one I liked is $685 (jacket only) so I'm guessing it's not a very good value. I will try to wait for something to come on sale. Problem is my...

    Sandro Suits

    Oh no, I'm actually in New York, so no excuses I suppose, lol. Any suggestions from around the globe greatly appreciated:) I'm starting to see there's a trade off between fit, construction and price with only two of those three being a reality for me.

    Sandro Suits

    Sandro. Yes, I searched and not much about them. French. Let me be clear though; the cut and fit, for me, was killer and that might just be enough if I can't find anything similar in my price range. I'm looking at Brooks Bros Milano cut. Looks nice but need to try it.

    Sandro Suits

    I had my suspicions. I also tried one from The Kopple. Nice construction, partly canvassed. It's just the jacket seemed a little short at the waist. Any suggestions on a nicely made jacket in the $500-700 range. Or suit to $1000'ish. I'm thin but with a bit of an athletic shape. Not looking...

    Sandro Suits

    Does anyone know whether Sandro suits/jackets are fully canvasses, partly canvassed or fused? I asked at a department store and then the Sandro shop and both times the sales people were somewhat perplexed by my question. Lovey jacket, fits great but I've had a previous bad experience with fused...
