Would someone kindly explain the relationship between these brands. I see them lumped together in B&S all the time and I'm probably not the only one confused by it.
I have a nice pair of Incotex Sartoriale charcoal wool pants... I also have 4-5 pairs of the "made in Romania" Mabitex in flannel and plain wool that I bought on B&S. I paid $150 for the Inco Sartoriale, and b/t $90-$125 per pair for the Mabitex with tags cut
I've seen a variety Incotex and Mabitex at Daffy's. I presume the lesser quality ones are at Daffy's for a reason. Regardless, every Incotex and Mabitex I've seen in a fabric other than cotton have been very nice. You just have to be careful with the cotton ones. My overall experience with Mabitex is a lot more varied than Incotex but lately all of the Mabitex I've seen are great. I've noticed that Mabitex tends to run slightly slimmer on the waist than the listed size.
IME Incotex is on a completely different level compared to Mabitex. The construction quality, fabric, and detailing of both their heavy cotton and chino lino lines are on par with Borrelli, Rota, etc. Mabitex just feels cheap/flimsy in comparison. Now that Daffy's isn't stocking incos anymore I have been tempted to throw down full MSRP for them, but the $400 price tag is a little tough to swallow.
