nice, fully canvassed, made in italy. But if you're paying that price. I'd definitely buy it from the store.
I'm not sure about the polo label, but I have a black label sport coat, and it's a very slim, modern fit that I like. I'm guessing the polo is less such. They do go on sale, in fact, last week or so you could have gotten that 25% off.
Yikes--I just missed the sale! Anyone know when the next sale is?
I thought polo suits were half canvassed? No??
Pretty sure they're fully canvassed. Made by Corneliani
So much misinformation in this thread.
I've never owned a Polo suit, but this thread and many other that I have come across in the past indicate that PRL suits are fully canvassed. Maybe some PRL jackets are fully canvassed (including the back), and others are half canvassed as you describe?
I see nothing in that thread that suggests that Polo by Corneliani is fully canvassed. Even if it did, it would be incorrect. Every thread that I recall contains the same accurate information as I mentioned above. Perhaps more importantly, every Polo by Corneliani garment I've handled has had more or less the construction I describe, except for some of the specialty cuts such as "Grant Soft" which is a completely unlined, unpadded, unstructured silhouette.
Thanks! How is the fit? Slim? Do these ever go on sale?
If you have no idea about the fit, why are you interested in buying it?

Old Polo made in USA was fully canvassed, as was the short-lived Ralph Lauren Signature label, which was also made by Corneliani. However, it was not branded under the Polo label. The back of a jacket never contains canvassing.
So much misinformation in this thread. OP, search for Polo and you'll find the answers. There must be a billion threads on the topic. Short answer, Corneliani, not fully canvassed, canvassing in lapels, shoulders, chest; more than a typical 'half canvass.' Buy it during RL Private Sale coming up in Nov., it will be anywhere from 30-40% off plus an additional 15%. Most will tell you that's still too expensive; decide for yourself. I've had one for a few years and it's held up great.
Nice thread crap.
