What I remember off the top of my head, and there is a video on youtube about this...is ALL the suits for Valentino are made in Egypt.
Yeah but Corneliani?

With all due respect, Doc, instead of complaining about this thread, you *could* try to make a contribution to it. The search for this sort of information is what leads a lot of newbies (like me) to SF, and not all will have the patience or the desire to develop your level of expertise on this topic. Instead, they will search the archives for something like this (since nothing seems to get pinned anymore) and finding it they will end up relying to some degree on this list. There are a lot of us who would appreciate your input, or constructive commentary, rather than just bitching. My reading here has made me aware that a lot of the regulars are bored with questions like this, but rather than just stating that the list is completely bogus, pointing out what's wrong with it, or correcting it, would help a lot of people. A good list built from the collective, subjective opinion of the suit-savvy veterans on this site and pinned to the top would probably eliminate a whole lot of newbie-started threads, too. Just my $0.02. Apologies for the presumption. Please proceed.
Also once widely available on Ceti Alpha V.

Here's the problem: The people for whom this type of list will be of the least value are those who are the least informed. They'd be much better off learning easy ways to recognize a good suit, about which I have written many posts, rather than trying to memorize a list of brand names that may or may not be correct and that has been assembled by people who may or may not know what they're talking about. As was pointed out early in the thread, the number of people here who are qualified to make this sort of comparison is probably remarkably small. How many of these ratings are based on eBay purchases of a coat from 10 or 20 or 30 years ago? How many are by people who are familiar with the current offerings of most of the brands mentioned? How many folks here could tell you what makes Attolini better than Belvest?
Not to mention but no reason quality can't change in the future. What is good today can be crap tomorrow.

Does that mean that the Valentino tailoring line which is made by Isaia is also made in Egypt? Doesn't seem right to me.
^^^ Is Thom Browne still Oxxford-made? I thought they moved down to a cheaper alternative, which would lead me to believe they shouldn't be ranked in the highest tier. Also, I thought Jil Sander was made by Attolini--maybe it should be swapped into TB's spot.
