Quality of Eleventy - Made in Italy

[gam29]

Hi All,

I did a search on here and couldn't turn up anything on the brand, Eleventy.

I really like their aesthetic, but I am hesitant to buy it without having any sense of the quality of what they make. Any idea if they make their own stuff in house or if they use someone else to produce their goods? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,

I am wondering others thoughts as well... I have a couple vests of theres and was very pleased with them. I know little about the construction techniques of there other merchandise though. WSJ had a very high praise article about them a year ago.

I used to work at a store that carried them. Their quality is very good! The aesthetic is very similar to Cucinelli, and I have a DB sportcoat from them that I love. Their easy lightweight, sometimes technical fabrics are excellent (in jackets and tailored garments). Their fit is quite small, sometimes you might want to size up. Shirting is good too, nothing crazy notable, but good. Overall I really like them; its hard to find in America.

I visited Jim at Khakis of Carmel a last year and he carries some Eleventy. I tried some of it on and it seemed pretty nice. I don't know much more than that and didn't even look at the price tags, but it definitely isn't junk.

Stores that I know of that stock it for men in America:
Lord & Taylor 5th Ave. NYC
Saks 5th Ave. NYC
Saks 5th Ave. Short Hills, NJ
Bloomingdales.com
Saks.com

But yeah, it is a pretty limited distribution.

I discovered it at the Hudsons Bay Queen Street Store last Fall while visiting our northern brethren. I too found the quality to be quite good, and strongly resembles Cucinelli.

I used to work in a store that carries Eleventy, and has done so since the brand started. The casualwear is quite nice, I especially like the outerwear, trousers, and polo shirts. I'm not a fan of the "tailoring". Even if I did like the look of it, I don't think that it's very good value for money.

Nordstrom carries it (at least here).
I’ll admit I like some of the styles. A bit like a poor man’s Brunello Cucinelli. I’ve avoided taking the plunge due to my lack of knowledge with the brand relative to the price point.

lots of conflicting info in this thread so I'll give a 2022 update. bought a suit for cheap from yoox on black friday (less than $300). fabric is nice flannel. construction is nicely done half canvas, compares well to corneliani or caruso OEM'd stuff from RL. It does have polarizing details and styling that will not appeal to everyone. for example, it's an SB peak lapel with a jetted ticket pocket and single button functional sleeves (also has shirring and soft shoulder, kinda casual). it's also a drop 8 and I would say fits small. I like it.

I stopped into a pop-up Eleventy store on Madison Ave in fall of 2021. Aesthetic is definitely reminiscent of Cucinelli. Tailoring is on the slim/short side so I generally preferred the casualwear. Some really deals on Yoox, I agree -- recommend sizing up in general.

Love it. Came across for first time in Venice, Italy in 2018. Bought a cashmere double breasted navy blazer then…. Hard to walk away without it! Quality is amazing in my books.
