Raffaele Caruso suits from eHaberdasher

Has anyone purchased from them? It is said on their website that they are from the "Sartoria Parma" line, but I'm curious to know why the price is relatively low for the aforementioned line. Shouldnt they be flying off the shelves? Or is it because majority of the inventory is 3-button?

I've done an extensive search, but if someone can please post their RC pics, I am curious to know of their fit. I am looking for a lighter colored (grey, grey with pins, light colored plaid) for the summer season (no navy, black, or charcoal). In addition, here is what I'm looking for:

- Low rise trouser flats
- lower leg opening (if possible)
- higher arm hole coat with suppressed waist (a la "fashion forward" trim fit)
- would like functional sleeves
- looking to spend $600-700

I've been doing a lot of search on the net, Ebay, and B/S, but I need something quite soon since one of my suit trousers is in the ICU getting "invisible mending" work done. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

Feel free to email us directly with any specific questions: [email protected]

If you find your size, DO IT. They match your requirements to a "T" and ehaberdasher is good peepho.

.

They arent flying off the shelves NOT because they are three-button or anything to do with the website (they are mostly all 3 roll 2.5 , which is an sf-approved look, i actually like it more than 3 roll 2 ) but just because in general consumerism is still sort of on the down low.
if you are in the market for a nice suit, i say go get one you won't be disappointed.

FWIW, I just bought a greay flannel suit from there and it is on it's way. From my point of view a Caruso made suit of Carlo Barbera flannel with patch pockets for 640 delivered is not a bad deal.

Only hiccup is that from their pics it looks to be a true 3 button jacket rather than a 3 roll 2/2.5.

My charcoal chalk stripe 3-roll-2.5 is among my favorites.

Only reason I'm not game is because I am broke. These look great.

Well, for me, it's also a tax break, since my work requires me to wear suits on a daily basis...

It looks very nice,please post pictures when you get the suit. Love the cloth.

It was either this or the rlpl cashmere suit you bought, I went for this as there is some possibility that this would be worn as separates

That suit is actually spring/summer weight. The one you bought is flannel and must be 13-14 oz so they are two different animals. Caruso cuts don't work for me though,I'd have to go MTM but I think Caruso MTM is one of the best values out there,they go around $1400 and that's hell of a deal.

Only wear suits for 3 months in India so all weights are OK for me. ..

out of curiosity, can that be changed? (3 to 3r2)
pressed, ironed, tailored?

According to some members, yes but I personally dont think so. If you try to iron it to a lower position the lapel roll will surely go.

BTW, is the true 3 button totally dead in SF opinion
