Mr. VittorioJ, would you mind avoiding fake italian names for your clothing business in the future?
I think the world has had enough of "Proschiutto" and it's ready for the real thing ...

I'm not a fan. Jacket pulls a lot, trousers don't seem to keep a nice line and have a very low rise (subjective). The outfit is no great shakes either, tie is disproportionately enormous, pocket square is obnoxious, collar is a bit ugly.

I don't mean to hold your feet to the fire but your sig lists you as a designer and you wanted comments on your suit so I'm callin' it like I see it.

honestly the more people post, the more exposure his advertisement is recieving (and i'm well aware that i'm contributing)

I dig the paisley lining, only because any non-standard lining seems kind of fun to me. Other than that, the light blue stitching and buttonholes and the pinstripes all together make it look a bit cheap. Personally I'd never wear that suit, even if it was free.

Really, I'd say it looks like a guido's attempt at making a high fashion suit.

There is nothing wrong with the advertising. Clearly, there are people that want a suit like this and there are people who don't. This thread serves as both beacon and warning.

Despite the spam-like nature of the original post, I don't think the suit is nearly the horror-show that some have made it out to be. The fit, while by no means perfect, is substantially better than a lot of what I've seen, even in these precincts. And while it's not a choice I would make, I think the contrast stitching is a nice, semi-dandyish touch. All-in-all, the suit's nowhere near deserving of the opprobrium that's been heaped upon it.
