Can anyone comment on the quality of this label? Is this the same as the Barbera Collezioni Sartoriale line? If not, where does it lie in the suit hierarchy?

I couldnt find any info on this suit from the forums.

Thanks.

This is up to LB Sartoriale standards but is likely 20+ years old.

The first label was used as recently as ten years ago. Never seen the second one. I wonder if it is really L. B.

The second label is from a store called Louis, Boston. That particular label has not been used for over 20 years, hence my dating. There is no doubt that this suit is legit.

No vents and double pleated pants aren't popular options in 2011.
