RLPL - Now solely Caruso

[earthdragon]

It may be old news, though I was a little surprised to hear this today.
No more St Andrews production, on the Suiting.

I won't miss them. Hopefully Caruso tones down the shoulders...

St. Andrew's cut for Paul Stuart is superior to their PL cut I think

I thought Paul Stuart used Samelsohn?

Oh, Paolo could you comment on the differences between working for Flusser and a larger establishment like Staurt?

Samuelsohn makes their lower-end stuff but "Stuart's Choice" has been made by various italian makers throughout the years (it used to be Isaia). Didn't Saint Andrews change its name to San Andrea (or something like that) a few years ago also?

Paul Stuart "Stuart's Choice" was Saint Andrews. I have one, it's cut like all Paul Stuart, just a better make.

Do they still make that? Didn't know Saint Andrews made anything for them...

100% agree re the shoulders.

Anyone know the price point and what makes it different than RLBL? Handwork?

St. Andrews (English) = St. Andrea (Italian)

This. I mean St. Andrews is for lack of a better comparison Milanese-made Brioni, and Caruso definitely isn't. I wonder if RL will bring the prices down, because unless Caruso can make a garment that is the same quality as St. Andrews, RLPL clothing is going to be unbelievably overpriced. Also, for the love of all humanity, can they please stop putting ticket pockets on everything? I mean I like ticket pockets, but can't they offer a jacket or especially a suit sans ticket pocket?!?
