Both in abundance on Bluefly. Who makes a better suit? Im guessing Sartorio on Ebay for less $ is even better. Thoughts?

If it's simply a matter of what is of better construction quality, Canali.

But if style and fit also matter, it can go either way. Z Zegna does more slimmer fitting designs. Canali tends to be more generously proportioned and cater to an older demographic.

Canali, which is full canvassed, but I think Z Zegna is cut more fasion forward. Canali is cut to fit middle age men.

Well, it is not über-fashiony-slim-cut, but "cut to fit middle age men" is bit too harsh.

Does Canali have any more fashiony line like Z Zegna or Corneliani Trend?

I have a Sartorio Ebay suit in a heavy grey Glen check and it's fabulous, especially at the $899 price. I can't fault it.

No special line for this AFAIK, I read last season they did introduce a new slimmer cut model, but most of their suits are targeted squarely at older men.
