isaia suit opinion

[jimbonyc]

any opinions on this suit? while i don't necessarily need a grey pinstripe suit, it is not always easy to find ANY suit I like in size 36. does this look like a decent deal? i would of course spend another $100 or so getting it tailored.

I like the color and pattern, but I can't tell the model. In Isaia the models differ greatly and his shot of the inside tag is poorly shot not including most of the tag.

Search the forums for other comments on the seller. That retail price is bloated since this was the last generation of the top of the line Isaia, the new stuff has a red label but both are great quality.

I don't know what he actually plans on selling it for but the BIN is high.

thanks, i'll do a search for the seller. i agree the BIN is pretty high and i haven't bought a suit from ebay before since i actually like to try them on first!

Yeah, search for past discussions on nitro. He's an okay guy that answers questions honestly, and he's even posted here previously. I'd shoot him a lower offer before considering that $900 BIN price though.

If you're looking for another source for 36 size suits, check out Four In Hand (click on the link on the top of styleforum's pages to get there). I have no personal experience with their suits, but they're supposedly pretty decent.

If you are going to spend 900 on a suit, you might as well spend couple of hundread more and get an entry level custom suit from the couple of recommanded buget custom tailors recommanded on this board. The best source of Isaia in my opinion, is STP. I just bought an Isaia this week for 500 bucks, and have not spend more than 650 on any of my Isaia suit in the past. Of course, given your size, it might not be possible to find the high end suit like Isaia, in this deep discount in your size and in the style you like, so entry level custom might be a better option.

I have bought from this seller in the past, but prices unfortunately have crept up over the last years. Quality was always great. SuitingStyle, who or what is STP? I searched the Forum, nothing comes up... Thanks for the info!

STP is sierratradingpost.com which has (a) great prices, (b) a great return policy, and (c) usually has an "additional 20% off" code floating around either here or at the Ask Andy forum.
