They are good - a step up from Canali/Corneliani/Hickey but not quite at the Isaia level. Fully canvassed, machine made, decent fabrics and cuts, details like pick-stitching, etc.

If you win an item, simply let me know and I'll make the deductions



That is the diffusion Gian Luca line, not the main Isaia line, and is not a $3495 garment. Main line Isaia Napoli suits are generally running $2695 and up.

when did the diffusion line retail for $3500?
it's a nice suit, but I don't think they ever were more than $2k.. and I though more like 1200
I know a lot of sellers inflate the estimate retail for items, but this seems a bit deceptive, especially if you're going to promote your items here

Thank you guys very much for informing me of this. What I did was simply search for gianluca (not isaia) on eBay itself and look for what others say the retail was... By no means was I trying to be deceptive... I'm simply not yet as well versed as some are as far as retail prices go...I've taken note on the true retail and will adjust accordingly in the future.
