Hey!

I'm 99% sure this brioni is legit but I was wondering if someone with more experience can give me the year this is from and possibly the supers #. I'm looking for a well-priced new brioni suit and this is the best I can find so far. s-l1600.jpg s-l1600 (4).jpg s-l1600 (1).jpg s-l1600 (2).jpg

Looks to be a couple of years old. Probably a super 150 if I had to guess.

Good staple suit.

Thanks! I'm strongly considering getting it. Do you think it is fairly priced at $1100?

If you're positive the measurements will work for you, then yeah it's a pretty good deal.

Check out the Richard Gere's suits in 'Arbitrage' if you want to see Brioni done right.

Edit: if the seller is a member on SF, he might be able to give you a discount (saving on ebay fees).

Is it supposed to be new or is it second hand?

The inside pocket looks to have suffered wear/stress which suggests less than new. If you are happy to pay that much surely you san buy something new.

It is supposed to be new! I'm just in a debate since I have a RLBL suit I paid $550 for that I might return and get this one instead. Don't know if that would be considered frugal since this suit is probably higher quality.

Not sure that I can agree with you, there is simply something wrong with how the pocket and lining appear. I would have expected the pocket to be fastened as well if new.

I've never seen the pocket buttons fastened on the inside of a new suit.

Must disagree but even if that is incorrect, it still looks 'used' to me.

Would anyone be able to tell the year based on the parlamento? Looking to find the year/supers#

Further evidence that it is used comes in the facing adjacent to the pocket - it should not be puckered in that fashion if it is new, that is a pure sign of being worn.

This suit is second hand and mightily expensive.
