    ya i had already read that, but simply likened it to a 'jd&power rating of kia above mercedes in quality' :grin:

    but in any case, they did actually acknowledge the italian-made one was indeed better made, just not worth $3000 more (in their professor-income opinions).

    typically the tailors on call at kiton, canali, corneliani, hi-end armani, etc for made-to-measure are masters of their craft who have been handstitching for decades. a little over a decade ago suitsupply was being run out of a dorm room in amsterdam and is basically a business model attempting to commodotize knockoffs. i don't doubt that their service is a good value and the suits are much better than what you get off the rack, but i just don't think it's possible for them to be on par in quality or styling with a real italian suit..

    I would just like to point out how TV shows like Mad Men (and other media creations since the latter half of the 00s) have really affected men's informal fashion. It's now very common to see suit purchases at the price range like the OP's. Before, the typical middle class man bought JAB or MW suits for under $300.

    So many younger men now have an interest in business/lounge suits, pocket squares, stylish shoes, etc. I only hope to see a similar jump in formal (white tie) and semi-formal (black tie) clothing. I attended a wedding recently where very few men knew how to wear a proper tuxedo (if they even had one at all), cummerbund, patent shoes, and so on.
