And still alive.
Hi-def photograpy only makes it more apparant that they skimp on buttons, which is odd to me because the worksmanship and fabric selection is generally very good for a RTW shop. The only Italian brand with crappier buttons is Boglioli.
Isaia and Borrelli have much better button quality. To say nothing of Attolini and Kiton.
And yes, I am a tool for charing about such things.

No problem, but can you explain what you don't like about them?

Looks to have made up very well.Originally Posted by George
Why did you pick a button closure for your pants? Zip fastening is far more practicable IMO.
I agree. I guess I like the 'old-fashionedness' of it.
Do you like the finished result?Originally Posted by George
The fabric is great. Much nicer than I expected (based on the small swatch). It's a beautiful deep colour, a bit darker than I expected.
