Abla (Angelo Blasi) suits - Are they the real deal/quality compared to kiton?

[Suitnoobie]

I've found some Abla suits on ebay and did some research (which turned out to be quite difficult, there is little about them online). From what I learned they used to be considered at the same quality level as kiton, brioni, or attolini, and even made by/for kiton. The ones I have found on ebay seem very cheap for kiton level quality (some listings shown below), does that mean they are fake, or what is the reason for their price?

Those look old and bad.

Those look old and bad.

Old and bad like not good quality/not genuine, or old and bad like the style isn't in fashion any more?

I never understand these questions. People aren’t faking obscure 30 year old suits that nobody has ever heard of.

But those specifically look super dated and not in a cool vintage kind of way. The cloth selection is also questionable. There’s a reason you’re finding some 30 year old suit NWT because it never sold.

I think some people weigh "quality" too heavily when they look for a suit. Quality of construction is important but not nearly as important as how the suit looks on you. However, it is much easier to compare specifications than it is to look at a photo on eBay and try to figure out whether the suit might actually look good on you.

This. Especially on a listing like that with zero in the form of measurements from an obscure brand nobody has tried.

Abla was a line from Kiton made for Saks (maybe relabeled Sartorio?).

Don't see issues with the styling/cloth. Not staple cloths by any stretch, but pretty consistent with summer-wear posted on the forum.

If you like it, buy it.
