Italian RTW - What Are My Options?

Is there a company that makes Italian styled RTW clothing, specifically sport coats, in the price range of Charles Tyrwhitt or Brooks Brothers? I'm not sure what my options are and my research hasn't turned up anything aside from the obvious, but I'm sure there are some well known brands that specialize in this type of tailoring. Any suggestions, or am I just making a very obvious mistake and forgetting some extremely well known option?

Boggi is exactly what you are looking for, they just don't have much of an internet presence.

That's unfortunate. Are there any other brands out that have higher armholes and a decent amount of waist suppression? Everything that I've found that fits this description is unfortunately garbage in both materials and construction. I'd like to spend around $400 - $600, but I'm flexible if it's what I'm looking for.

So to paraphrase, you are asking if it's possible to buy quality, stylish clothing with little money?

That's not what I said at all. I'm not a fool, and I know you have to choose two when it comes to quality, style, and lower prices. Something like J Crew in terms of quality would be fine, and I know they make "stylish" clothing for little money, unfortunately it's not the style I'm looking for (the skinny lapels and button stance just don't appeal to me, not to mention the shoulders). Like I said, $400 - $600 is what I'm looking to spend, but I'm not opposed to spending more if it's what I'm looking for. Then again, if I was going to spend much more I would just go for more MTM, which isn't what I'm looking for right now.

You are having a hard time finding what you search because it does not exist.
