Suit Shopping at Saks

I was at Saks off Fifth last night right before they closed. I was looking at the saks black label, with zegna cloth. The Made in USA or Italy, not Mexico. I know these are only made with Zenga cloth, not real Zenga, but I think previous searches indicated they might be Isaia and decent? Does anyone know anything more on these? Half canvas or fused? How would it compare to Brooks Brothers 1818?

The fabric seemed good, but I didn't have time to inspect more closely or try any on. With their sale (40% off, plus military discounts) they're in the $300 range. Are these, at that price, a good deal worth going back to check out?

Thanks!

Zegna

Only a good deal if:

A: You like them
B: They fit properly


without having tried them you cannot begin to establish if they are a good deal.

We'll I'm meaning is it worth going back out there to try them on. If they're totally fused, poorly made, garbage like low end JAB, no. If it's half canvas, or decent quality, then it comes down to fit.

And yes, I know it's zegna, got it right the first half but didn't catch the rest of my phones auto correct.
