Can anyone help explain to me what differences i'd see between these 3 Spier & McKay navy suits? I already have a charcoal and medium gray in the Super 120's but not sure what the actual difference would be between that and the Super 110's from Dino Filarte or the upgrade to Super 120's from Guabello. The only other difference i can tell online is the GSM. In the states so no store. This is replacing one of my SS Lazio's (i need the extra pants so want to go with S&M). Thanks

I don't have any hands on experience w/ S+M, but looking at it I would assume the difference is going to be hand feel. The 110 is a tad heavier, and generally lower super numbers will last longer through more wears.

The 120 will likely be a bit softer and lighter feeling. Maybe "softer." The 110 will be slightly (maybe unnoticeably) heavier and maybe last longer, maybe "crisper."

Thanks, that’s helpful. The lazio is 110s and does indeed feel “heavier” or “crisper” (which I prefe) than my S&Ms which do feel “softer”.
