Luciano Barbera Mainline?

[zim13]

hi gents

i have done some research on Luciano Barbera Mainline and come up short, whats's their suit/sport jackets quality like? fully canvassed? hand stitched details? i know the Sartorale line is made by Partenopea, who makes the main line?

cheers!

from an old thread:

LB Sartoriale:
Has a red label;
Top notch; Makers were St. Andrews, Atollini, Sartoria Partenopea and others.
Lot of handwork.

LB Mainline:
green label with red logo on it;
I think the consensus is, the quality is still decent but far away from the Sartoriale collection.

LB Club:
green label, with the word ,club' on it.
Diffusion line; never seen IRL, but after all I know, it is of considerably lower quality and at least fused.

Besides that there is an older line still around on Ebay. I happen to own one.
The label is green, but the logo on it, is white, stating BLANC.
I think this is from before they started the Sartoriale line. Great stuff IMO, lots of handwork, fully canvassed...

Thanks for the great breakdown, anyone had actual experience with the main line? Are they fully canvassed and who actually makes them?
