From my understanding, all RLBL suits are made by Caruso, right? So would the Caruos suits on eHaberdasher fit similarly, or is the cut of the RLBL very specific to that line?

I have both, and they aren't quite the same.

What have you found to be the major differences? Was it more a matter of quality or cut?

RLBL has very strong shoulder padding.
I don't know about Caruso, but I think Caruso has soft shoulder.

They're very different, as the black label is a soft cotton, very fitted/stylized. I think the RLBL has higher, smaller armholes.

And some Caruso shoulders are softer than others.

Earlier this year I read in MR(ketplace) magazine that Caruso produces nearly 100 models a season. Not surprised... we have lots of Caruso and we can't keep track of all the different models - not to mention they have model names that are alphanumeric non-words to make things easier for us all! Great make, though...

I find the RLBL suits to fit tighter through the chest and upper arm.

RLBL Caruso suits are the lowest quality Caruso suits I have seen and touched.
