Have some difficulty in choosing suits,please help!!

Wow...Maybe you have a point..To a degree,I can't agree more because there are so many similar cases in China. Do you think the goods in Bicester Village are decent?

Sartoria Castangia? I think it is not the Sartoria I just mentioned.. Sartoria by Kiton? Are they different companies? 

All three are differet and all are high-end. Sartoria in Italian means" tailor's"

Thank you again. One more thing, should I listen to that gentleman and avoid buying suits online, because the quality can not be guaranteed. Moreover, I am just a novice to suits, therefore, I can not tell if the quality is good or not.. Do you think the shop you recommended sells suits with high quality just like the normal stores?

Sartoria Partenopea. They also vary in cut, but less than Belvest.

BTW, my suits/sportcoats from Belvest would never be mistaken for Hickey
Freeman, but they are not short and tight.

Sartoria Castangia and Partenopea are two very good brands. It is not the Sartoria you mentioned.

Castangia is one of the oldest tailoring houses if not the oldest in Italy. Partenopea was started by ex-Kiton tailors.

errrrr.. OK. Thank you. But what is Sartoria by Kiton? What is the relationship between this company and Kiton. I just ordered a RTW suit from Ede&ravenscroft. Do you think they make good suits? The suit is cut from lightweight super 140s merino wool hopsack and is fully canvassed.

Sartoria is a different line than Kiton and is owned by Kiton. It is aimed at a younger audience.

sorry but never heard of Ede & Ravenscroft.

They are a fine English Company. If the suit fits, wear it in good health.

 

[CHIANGCC]

In addition, could you tell me your view of Sartoria by Kiton? Can this brand compare with Ermenegildo Zegna mainline?

 

[CHIANGCC]

Yep, I study in England now. But some people in this forum seem to have prejudice against English brand.. What do you think?

Ede and Ravenscroft make very English looking suits. Sartoria by Kiton, Sartoria Partenopea make very Neapolitan looking suits.
As for Zegna, they offer many variations in style in many models and price points all of which look Italian to me.

Maybe I am wrong, but when it comes to younger audience, always reminds me of bad quality.

Does Sartoria Castangia have diffusion lines? I saw some suits are insanely cheap on Yoox Chinese website...only about 650 us dollars.. It seems odd that the same product is over 950 US dollars on the Yoox English website.

Besides, the fact is the price of all kinds of high end products in China is always much higher than the price in Europe or USA. I checked the price again, one suit would finally costs only 450 us dollars based on additional discount? Are they diffusion lines like Luciano Barbera club lines?
