Hello,

I would like to know if anyone in this forum have personal experience with the following Ebay'ers, who supposedly sell new 1299$ to 2299$ Firado, Rizzoli and Palasso label suits in all sizes and styles for 200$ (davinci exclusive) and new RL and KC suits for 200$ (dacalo fashion).

A little good to be true. hae never heard of these labels (Firado, Rizzoli, Palasso).

Besides Sierra Trading Post - where can I buy a quality suit from an honest seller?

I haven't seen those brands at any retail outlet so I have no idea if those are good prices.

Try the buying and selling part of this forum, you have VirtualClothesHorse.com, and eHaberdaher.com. I have used both of these and they are decent.

I doubt that Firado, Rizzoli, Palasso are of comparable quality to a $1500-$2000 suit you would find in a major department store. There are discussions describing them as fine suits for $200 if the cut, color and fit work well on you.

Those Lauren Ralph Lauren (green label) suits from decalo fashion are the same suits thar are available on sale in malls for $250, and from sierra trading post frequently for $200. I think these suits retail for $500, which is a high price for what you get.

Polo Ralph Lauren suits retail from $1100-2000, and are better quality. They are often available on ebay for $350-600, though often in colors, fabrics, or patterns that aren't the best choice for a first suit.

polosphere is a fair (thought not the cheapest) ebay seller of Polo suits, as are several other polo specialists I can't specifically recall. Do a search.

Getting a good deal on a well-fitting new suit from ebay required some legwork and patience. Go try on lots of suits at dept stores, boutiques, filene's basement, find one or several that work, then wait for it to pop up on ebay. Make sure it hasn't been altered unless you're going for a used suit.

STP is far less risky. You risk $19 in shipping (from and return).

I've dealt with DeCalo Fashion in the past. They're legit.
