... and why? The material is probably better, suit better quality but in terms of looks is there any difference at all?

If the pictures were a bit larger, perhaps.

Can't really tell by the pictures, but if I had to guess.... I'd say the one on the right is the expensive one.

I'm hoping the first one is the inexpensive one, because that's the one i'd rather be wearing. The second one looks bad - shoulders are ugly and too much creasing around the button.

I'm thinking Senor Lefty, but I might have seen this elsewhere

I'm guessing the one on the right is the more expensive, I attribute it to the roped sleeveheads.

I think the one to the right, but a lot could change if you actually feel the material and check the details that cannot be seen in the photos.

Now you must give the answer.

I'd say the one on the left is the most expensive. But from these photo's it's hard to tell. I base my answer on the sleevehead, the left one has a more subtle shoulder and a more narrow sleevehead. From what i gather, it's harder to produce and will not fit as many.

- actually, both are cotton.


I concur. The Etro is definitely the pricier suit.

How close does one need to be? Doesn't this topic suggest that, for 99% of people, the difference between a $300 suit and a $1,500 suit is inconsequential?
