Yesterday I was out window shopping with the gf (*****cat of myth and legend) and was forced to endure time in one of the many Louis Vuitton flagship stores in Ginza. I looked at a few of their suits, which appear to be of a comparable quality to other reputable makers' suits. They are the only things made by the brand that I've come within a mile of liking.
Later, at Barney's, I looked through the Attolini book and found at least half a dozen fabrics I could see dropping serious money on for an MTM suit.
I already have a relationship with a salesman at Zegna and have been thinking about getting several MTM suits made.
All the prices are within roughly the same range, with Zegna being rather more competitively priced. I'm already convinced of the unimpeachable quality of Attolini and Zegna at that price point.
My question is about the quality of Louis Vuitton suits. They look to be very high quality and carry the least branding of just about anything the company makes, but are they a good value at that price point or are they, like nearly everything else Vuitton, overpriced?
Any information on what mills they use or other particulars of Vuitton suits would be appreciated.
