Today I bought what I gather is a pretty good deal on a Kiton suit, $1,500 from $5,400 at Barneys. I am kind of curious as to how durable cashmere is? There has been a ton of talk here about not wearing super 150's and up too often, as they may not wear to well over time. How does cashmere compare to say a super 150+? I stopped in Kiton and was a bit taken back when the salesman told me I could wear there super 200 suit 2-3 times a week forever without it showing any wear, seemed like good sales pitch to me but who knows. Any thoughts? Two interesting things also happened on my trip, I was reluctant to have this suit tailored at Barney's after reading a few posts here, when I asked about tailoring at Kiton I was told Barney's had in house a Kiton master tailor, which was the only one outside of Kiton in NYC.
The other funny side note was, my wife and I were in Ray's pizza (local pizza shop) when I remarked to her the guy buying a slice in front of us had an incredible suit on and it looked like it cost big $$$. Sure enough he was sitting behind the front desk at Kiton lol...
