Here you go..


who's maintaining this list ? Zegna Couture isn't 100% handmade, only their bespoke "Atelier" in Milan is, been customer there for years, and they will tell you Couture is between 70% and 80% fatto a mano, and the Tom Fords are coming off the same lines at their Swiss factory as the Zegna mainline just different fabrics and detailing

Cucinelli depends on the model, some are fully canvased, some are half, found the fabrics to be sub par, especially at their MSRP, MTO/bespoke has some more variety, but didn't blow me away

I thought Jack victor quality was higher than a 0. was I just wrong or have they changed their line?

also, has the status of brooks brothers suits changed post bankruptcy?

I noticed Spier and Mackay are not on the list? Any opinions?

Even more importantly how does their contemporary fit compare to the super tight SS?

Luckily a 46R let out a little fits me if I see something RTW that I really want. I've also had good experiences with their MTO jackets and suits.
Its the pants. I get pocket flair. I ordered a pair of high rise chinos thst I hope fit. Wish thet did athletic fitting.

I have a Jack Victor suit bought last year so relatively recent. Half Canvassed with VBC 110s. It rates atleast a 2 in my book.
