Isaia models

[Spark]

Not sure sure about that STP claim, at least in the early days when they were first selling it. I picked up a Stewart navy blazer in a gorgeous 150s Aquaspider and a tan, Base V solaro suit that were absolutely mainline models with all the details. Maybe it changed later on?

ok, let me clarify, not every model is outlet exclusive, but some might, I don't know how to spot.

Like if you just check the measurement on say Gregory (which I think is a much less seen model in the US these days), the measurement has enough variation to tell me it's a bit one of (like BOC on EU 46 are between 28 to 29.5 where I think a "current standard on Gregory" is probably 28.5 in?)

Top Shelf ? Never bought anything from them, but they are well
established on the web.

thanks guys, ISAIA is only really interesting to me at heavily reduced prices so interesting info. Even at 50% price at Saks I can get Orazio MTM or for a little more we are talking Solito bespoke.

LOL first time I was window shopping again in a long time and just laughed at the guy in NM when he quoted me $4,500 plus tax for a ISAIA sports coat ...

I've bought most of my Isaia through topshelf and some random places I've found on the internet. Bought 2 Dustin jackets from a consignment store in oregon via ebay; both new and unaltered for around ~$300 each; was some great finds!

didn't know where to post this but just picked up two isaia sport coats for 75% off at Saks - $1k each - previously 4k each.

Too bad those deal rarely made to my size, Saks usually don’t even carry 36 for starter...

Isaia shows up quite a bit, like every day, on my emails from Gilt.
Sub-$1K quite a bit.

I have ordered from them for a decade now. Very legit with accurate pics, measurements and descriptions.

maybe I'll give it a try in the future, I like the certainty at saks, even if I could save 200 bucks more or so elsewhere. At Saks I can just drop it off on my way to the office if it doesn't fit - easy peasy.

edit: now that I checked the prices at saks right now for the discounted jackets are the same - right around $1k

Soak the 50, and then run in a hot dryer for 20 minutes, enjoy...

Get on the email list, and check as they come in.
Every once in awhile I score a steal on something, 1 left in my size.

Eric does returns and regularly offers discounts to long-time buyers. Got all my Oxxford from him. He has some “in” with the factory I think.

oh yea I killed my gilt subscription a long time ago when their price was no longer that competitive to just search on eBay (and was getting spammy)

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).
