Hi all,
I just came across my first Corneliani suit in the "Linea Sartoria." Â I am pleased to say that it fit me well, and I bought it for $375, but I would have bought it if it was a regular Corneliani. Â The construction of this suit was amazing. Â It was a Super 140's with significant handwork. It of course had a canvas front but also had basted lapels with handpicked edges, and handsewn buttonholes. Â I initially thought it was a Zegna Napoli. Â It is truly a very fine suit. Â The list price was $1295, which for the construction and material is a steal. Â I have always been a big Isaia fan, and usually preferred Isaia over most others. Â But I think this suit is on par if not better, and for the money it is no contest. Â Knowing Corneilani I am confident that this was not a one off suit, and others will have similar attributes. Â I strongly suggest that you keeps your eyes open for these as I don't think one could come close for the money. Â Just one man's opinion.
