Eyeing this suit- any feedback?

I came across this listing on a new suit and I know the seller is reputable based on the feedback on various forums. My question is regarding the suit. I need a decent starter navy blue suit with side vents and this seems to fit the bill (and the price). My concern is possibly the button stance- does it look a bit high or is that just me? Though I am 6'3" if that matters- maybe it would be fine on me? Also, does anyone have any experience with this Giorgio Cosani brand? Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!

The seller(Wizardofaahs) has an excellent reputation so it could turn out to be a decent suit for the money. You could contact him and clarify any questions you have.

I just googled 'Giorgio Cosani' and most suits were $150 brand new. Find your measurements and you'd be better finding a used suit on ebay. If you're patient, you can find higher-end clothing at a bargain (ie less than $100).

If you are buying an expensive used suit for say 1/5th of retail it makes sense but why buy a used cheap suit? $150 vs $100 - is it that big of a difference?

"higher-end clothing at a bargain (ie less than $100)"

I never said buying a used cheap suit.

Thanks to all for the feedback. I am going to pass on this one. What about the button stance- is it a bit high and might date this suit one day?

I'm still trying to learn all this stuff so when I pull the trigger on a suit, I want to make sure I do it right...

Take some time and read this thread then go shopping. It's long but a lot of quality info.
