Solo 8 is around €9000-€10k and 12mil Zegna around over 10k, around 11-12k€
But again, in general Solo 8 is available just for MTM
I would chose Solo 8 any-day thanks to more consistent fabric, 12mil is too delicate...you can wear that suit only standing up
I think Colombo has the right balance since they offer 12.8, still kind of delicate but not that aggressive
Isaia Solo 8 starting 9500$ and can run 14.000$
Zegna 12mil starting 10.000$ and can run 13.000$
Isaia MTM starts 7000$ and can run 15.000$
Zegna MTM starts 6000$ and can run 14.000$

I am not sure MTM prices

There are also more Zegna suits out there. Much easier to find new ones on sale at a multitude of merchants.

Zegna has a very wide range, from very good quality full canvassed suits to fused items like their Z Zegna line. At the high end, I like Zegna's products but I personally prefer Isaia's cuts and style. Quality wise, I'd put them on par. As far as I know, Isaia does not have a lower end line of items similar to Z Zegna.

zegna is targeted for more formal look, whereas isaia is for more smart casual, or even just casual. i think zegna quality wise is better but you gotta go for the main line

i wouldnt go for any of the other zegnas, like sport or Z etc

also how did isaia suddenly become such a popular brand, most of their blazers and shirts make you look like a clown, they are way too in your face and i have some of their shirts from the old label when it was a better brand and there is nothing good about tthem

That's a silly assessment. Like Zegna, Isaia has a fairly wide range of styles, from more traditional patterns, material and cuts to more modern and rather, admittedly, very fashion forward.

Isaia tends to employ a lot of color and pattern in the sport coats for sure. They do have more subdued offerings but then it begs the question; why pay the premium if you can get something similar from a Zegna for less.

exactly, i would choose zegna everytime. even the more sophisticated isaia jackets just dont do it for me, i dont even think they do casual blazers well, the off the rack blazers tend to come up quite short and all the ones i looked at had the same 2 button design

but i wouldnt even choose zegna tbh
