Must be nice to be that rich.

Look at the collar, it doesn't even fit properly. You'd think to showcase a suit that
expensive they'd have found a model who it fit.

Do you think it really matters how it looks? I doubt potential buyers care.

I have a new business model. Make only 30 suits a year at $43000.00 each.

Where do you find clients like this?

It's the sleeve pitch that bothers me. Look at that.

For $43k I'd want a lot more crystals than I can see there.

It looks like a zara polyester suit...

Except the K-50 is bespoke whereas this Brioni is only made to measure according to the article...

The K-50 doesn't cost $50,000. Well, it might if you order it in vicuna. I believe the 50 is supposed to indicate the number of hours it usually takes to construct the suit.

What is Qiviuk? Is it a fiber or a brand or both?

If Foo likes it, he's good for 5 or 6, easy.
