^^ I've received an item (in Canada no less) very quickly and reliably from that seller, and have a Barbera tie on the way so my feedback is very positive at this point.

Make sure you look it over good-- I've bought from that guy before and he is downright dishonest about his descriptions.

He'll take returns, but then he turns around and relists the item with the same misrepresented description.

He stiffs you on return shipping, too.

I have purchased a few times from this seller before. I forgot about the service. But he has some really cheap stuff sometimes.

Agreed. Not only are Club suits nothing special, they are even overpriced at deep discount stores. They have a decent cut but the fabric is very ordinary, they are very obviously machine made, and always fused. The same holds true for Club shirts and ties as well. I'd buy RL Polo shirts over LB Club dress shirts any day.

44R Mabro suit Mabro makes a great suit that can often be had for an excellent price on eBay. IMHO a bit better than Canali quality. Anyone agree or disagree? Anyone recognize the tag? It looks so familiar but I can not place it.

Ah, Blondy's. How those crooks get those prices... Retail on that D'Avenza is probably $3k, $3500 max. Bijan suits might retail for 10K (extra 7k for he Bijan label and lining,) but that is not a Bijan.
