Kiton vs. Brioni fit

[mell]

A 48L Brioni sport coat fits me to a "T". I have not tried on a Kiton sport coat and I am wondering if any of you know how the Kiton sizing compares to the Brioni. Are Kiton sport coats slimmer fitting than the Brioni?

Thanks in advance for you time and answers.

I think it will depend on the Model of Brioni and the Model of Kiton. I have 2 Brioni's that fit me perfectly and 2 Kiton sportcoats that do as well, but the 3rd a 3Btn to Roll is a little loose in the chest.

If you look at two Brionis, Kitons, Oxxfords, Attolinis etc etc you will find that scarcely any two coats of the same tagged size have exactly the same fit - even if the model is the same.

I associate Kitons as premiere sportscoat or sportsjacket makers. Their workmanship and attention to fabric and details are impressive. When I want a suit, I prefer Brionis. I visited the Brioni Store at the via Condotti in Rome last year and it was very, very nice. It's not as big as the flagship store, but nevertheless, still very good. I just did not have the time allowed to have a bespoke suit made for me.

Obviously each sport coat will have to altered a bit, but my concern is if Kiton is slimmer fitting such as the Zegna lines I have tried on. The Zegna sport coats are entirely too slim fitting for me. The reason I ask this is I have been looking on ebay but the measurements usually only consist of shoulder and sleeve length. The body is usually not mentioned.

I'm in the same boat - I know my fit with a couple brioni models (nomentano, triano) and now looking to get a Kiton via ebay? So, is Kiton, in general, slimmer, looser, or the same as Brioni? And, I know each piece varies, etc. but I'm betting some reasonably accurate generalities can be made.
thanks

what is your chest and wasit size? In my poinion, Brioni coats are generally fuller than Kiton coats. I'd say Brioni coats have drop of 6 in general and 7 for Kiton. You often see Kiton coats have drop of 8 (I need drop of like 9 or 10) and those one should should buy if you have big diff. bet your chest and waist size.

The brioni nomentano model has more room in the body.The brioni colosse model is a more modern slimmer fit.The kiton I have fits more like the brioni colosse model , with a tiny bit more room in the chest area. Hope this infomation helps you. Ken Miks Sr.

Maybe my experience is limited, but I've never seen or tried-on a Brioni
that didn't have relatively built up shoulders. Kiton's, at least at Wilkes bashford,
have very natural "neapolitan" shoulders these days.

The Brioni that has "built up shoulders" is not a Brioni Colosse model. The Brioni Nomontano models do have more padding on the shoulders. I own several Brioni Colosse model sport coats and suits, and the shoulders are very modern slim fit with little padding! I do own two Nomontano model sport coats that have more padding on the shoulders and a little bit more room in the chest area! The Kiton sport coat I own is a more modern slim fit coat with very little padding on the shoulders! I hope this info helps. Ken Miks Sr.

It would help if I spelled "Nomentano" the right way!! Ken Miks Sr.
