I have bought 8 sportcats from their Serravalle outles, always 80%off. Stock level is always pretty good (at least for my size EU48)

Seems like a great dude (honestly didn't know his name until you mentioned above) and he even sent me a box of chocolates last year for the holidays! (I guess I purchased a good amount of stuff so I guess it was a thank you haha).

He was a member on here and I've had quite a few transactions with him (albeit several years ago). Based upon that, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

I have 2 jackets which are 3r2 but I don't believe it's a common configuration now. You'll likely need to find a make for a specific retailer who ordered it as I wouldn't expect you to find it on their main site and merchants

When you wear a 3R2 and someone comments, "that is a good way to make a 3 button look better" it can change your opinion of that style. It is a way that some consignment shops take a 3 button they can't move and press it to make a 3R2. Usually it shows but not in every case.

Temporary I am sure. I have a true 3 button pressed this way by the seller and it makes for an unhappy 2 1/2 roll 3. The inverse of that is a 3 roll 2 usually being pressed by dry cleaners as a 3 button - some like Caruso can't really be pressed that way, while a Kiton can - I have a S180 recovering naturally right now.

As far as I am aware the collar and lapel are cut so that way and it won't really accommodate long term any attempt to press it up or down a button.

What is the difference between the Gregory or Capri models? I have two Gregory Suits and thinking of trying a Capri. I think the Capri might be shorter/slimmer with nor shoulder pads, but not sure. Thanks!

for me Capri is on point when comes to back length
For size 48 for example Gregory the jacket length is 76cm while on Capri model is 72

Thanks - I wear a size 38s or 48 Euro size. I prefer a shorter length. Do you think a 38 regular will be ok or should I get a 38s?

Hi, I am looking to buy an Isaia suit. However, the label is different from any other Isaia I have seen. Any idea if it is authentic?
