What is the use? They are both very different, one is subdued (suitsupply) and the other is more attention grabbing (zegna)

According to the measurements, the La Spalla should be more slim fit whereas the Zegna is listed as a drop 7.

The use is business and formal events. What is meant by drop 7 is that the trouser size minus the jacket size. I zegna worth the higher price?

Right, which is why I stated that the Suitsupply would be more slim fit - it has a drop 8 per the website listed measurements.

As for the price, is it possible for you to test fit a similar zegna at a store? If not, buy it and make sure the store has a good return policy.

Not many people here have experience with the La Spalla suits from Suitsupply, unfortunately.
