Simple answer: Attolini for construction, Kiton for the fabrics. A combination of thos two would be best of both worlds.

I find my Kiton suits are better made than my Brioni suits. Oxxford is well made (I have several suits and trousers) but the materials are not as flexible and comfortable in my opinion. Especially in trousers I find Kiton is far better than Oxxford.

I have not tried Attolini but I have not been impressed by what I have seen close up.


The three Caraceni operations and the two Rubinacci operations (and far too many other bespoke tailors to mention) are still far better than all of these clothing brands in every conceivable objective way.

All of the above especially true of quality and quantity of handwork, where the three Caraceni operations and two Rubinacci operations are tied with far too many bespoke tailors to mention for the best (quality of handwork) and highest (quantity of handwork).

See the reply message to this topic that I posted at 7:39AM Eastern Daylight Time this morning (Thursday, May 20th, 2010) about what the best of both (or, for that matter, any number) of worlds really is (hint: it is not Attolini's construction with Kiton's fabrics

).

No kidding. I was caught in traffic the other day after dinner and a few Chimay's and man was it racing down there. I had to piss so bad the pain was unbearable. In fact, it was so uncomfortable, I didnt even feel better after I let it out. Had to piss like a half hour later again.

And, of course, it's not easily accessible, as the slacks have to be undone (including the secret button) to access.

It is probably a coin pocket which is supposed to be inside the pocket but they messed up and sew it on in the wrong way; inside out... eye-talians..!

The Kiton jeans show no signs of other than maschine-stitches. The fit is great though, very slim. But for 795?
