Hello,
I'm new here, this is my first post. I hope it's not too long.
Health care professional, never needed suits for work, but now am being asked to give presentations to other professionals. I don't think my Dillard's/Macy's sportcoats and slacks will do it.
Fortunate enough to be able to spend relatively freely, but I just don't want to. I'm not able to recognize the cost-value relationship for Brioni, Kiton, etc. Happily married, so I don't need to impress any women with brand names. Not a fan of stuff made in China for various reasons. Italian suits 44L fit well.
I have a Canali and a Lubiam which are aging out stylewise. Canali was too expensive for the quality received, IMHO.
I see all manner of "Italian" suits on various websites. "$2000 suits for only $299 !" Names I never heard of: Natazzi, Nicoletti, Baroni, Georgio Valentino, Manzoni, Mantoni, great looking photos but unbelievable prices. Seems too good to be true...? Are these suits really made in Italy, or are they knockoffs with bogus "Made in Italy" tags?
Can anyone point me to a bona fide, "honest-business" source for a quite nice, compliment-worthy Italian suit? More interested in high quality/reasonable price than in brand names for their own sake. Looking for maximum impact per dollar spent, prefer not to exceed 600 unless the quality/price equation is exceptional.
Looking forward to any and all comments. Thanks so much.
