I searched but did not find any info on the fit and silhouette of Belvest.
The pics I have managed to find, they look rather boxy. Can anyone share some experience about the style of this brand? Thanks in advance.

Depends completely on the model and who it's made for. I've seen Belvests that resemble Canali, as well as ones that are cut more like Borrelli.

I have tried on many Belvest and the cut does indeed vary especially in the shoulders. Here is a picture of a Belvest tux I tried on a few days ago.

Belvest makes a really really nice garment and at a decent price point. The waist is not as supressed as Attolini or Borrelli but it is not a box either. The drape is very nice and the construction is top notch. I have liked most of the Belvest I have tried/bought. When I did not like a Belvest it was usually because of the shoulder.

All the Belvest i own and have tried fit similar to Canali's 14 or 13 models.
