Nice summer suit. And you need to wear suits more often anyway...

Hehe. Last (and only) time I saw you in a suit was a success. I am sure this one will look great too. (Got enough light blue shirts?)

If my shirt order comes in soon, I'll have 3 brand new ones in different shades of light blue

But you forgot a linen one, right...?

Great suit, Trini. Perfect color.

My budget shirt maker unfortunately doesn't offer linen. So sad.

Thanks. Hopefully it turns out better than the peachy-coloured Isaia suit I bought last year. Also, I'm particular jealous of your linen shirt.

Get a decent shirtmaker. Otherwise this will become your Tetbury II.

But never mind the shirts. For now. I hope you really like the suit when you see it IRL.

I would put them in the following order (best being first):

1a)Caruso for Barneys New York
1b)Caruso for Adriano & Sons
3)Caruso for RLBL

I think the A&S trousers are slightly better than the Barneys (button fly vs zipper for example) but the jackets seem equal in construction. Very well made, especially considering the price. I can't believe it but I just paid full fare (something I rarely do) for a solid navy Caruso for Barneys NY suit. Caruso is the maker for me. I don't see myself needing anything more nor will probably ever be able to afford it. But the construction quality is very high and I like the cuts and most importantly the value the maker provides given its price points relative to other Italian brands/makers.

Can you please talk a little bit about how the Barneys and Adriano cuts differ from the RLBL? Do you prefer the cut of those or the actual construction to the RLBL? Thanks.

solid light/sky blue is such a boring colour especially added to that suit. that and white seem to be the standard dress shirt for 'business'.
get a patterned, stronger hued blue.

Ah, then it was probably the whisper jacket that I tried on.
