Why are Italian designer suits so expensive?
There are many reasons why Italian designer suits are so expensive. The first, most important one is the quality of the fabric used. All of our Italian designer suits are made out of 100% genuine fabrics, and are bought directly from the manufacturers themselves.
This gives you an incredible level of durability, lightness, breathability and softness that just can't be beaten.
Another reason suits are so expensive is because of the attention to detail that goes into them. Pieces that may seem small, insignificant, and easy to overlook areactually integral parts of a suit.
They allow pieces to fit together in a way that makes it look like a custom piece but only cost a fraction of what a bespoke tailor would charge you.
Finally, Italian designer suits are so expensive because of the craftsmanship that goes into them
They don't just take one person to make, but teams of people who work together to ensure that everything is perfect, and goes according to plan
Here are the main reasons a suit is so expensive from a high-quality designer:
- Artisan tailors in Italy receive a living wage - and thus labor costs are higher.
- A lot of the profits are re-invested into ensuring the continuation of tailoring methods.
- The fabrics used are all sourced from legal means and are 100% genuine.
- The quality is very high, with every cut of the tailor's scissors being significant
- It takes many years to learn this craft
Are expensive suits worth it?
Yes, they are. A well-tailored suit that is made out of high quality will always be worth the money you invest in it because it will last for so much longer than any regular store-bought suit.
There are many reasons why custom suits are completely worth it. It is better to invest in a suit that isn't merely made out of cotton, but a genuine fabric that will last you for the rest of your life.
The attention to detail and focus on high-quality craftsmanship ensures the longevity of your Italian designer suits.
Not only this - if you look at it as an investment.In our recent article about "dressing professionally"- we talked about the psychological benefits of wearing a suit for a job interview, for example. If you can show up in a killerSartorial suit- your chances of being taken seriously are much higher.
Thus, by investing in an expensive suit, if you are a businessman who needs to network a lot - there is not better companion than aKitonorCesare Attolini suit.
Why are suits so expensive now?
As the costs of labor have gone up, as wages rise, so too does the cost of producing those goods. A suit, even centuries ago, was considered to be something that only nobles would wear.
It's actually not that suits have become more expensive, but expensive suits have become more expensive. In fact, the average price of a suit has been dropping since their invention, as better methods of automation come into practice.
At IsuiT - Italian Luxury - we take a stand against fast fashion. Just like the brands we work directly with, we believe that the only way to make a suit is with "Amore"and without love, a suit doesn't feel the same way.
How can you tell the difference between a cheap and expensive suit?
The quickest way to tell the difference between a cheap suit and an expensive suit is to touch it. This may seem strange, but you can immediately tell that a suit is cheap if the fabric is cheap. If the fabric feels good, then the next thing to look at is this stitching. An expensive suit will be handmade, and the difference between handmade stitching and machine-made stitching is obvious straight away.
The next thing to look for is to see if the fabric is all the same across the entire suit, or if the suit has colored threads throughout. An expensive suit will very rarely be a completely plain and simple fabric, unless it is adhering to theclassic menswear rules of color.
Why are suits so attractive?
Suits are a classic menswear piece, and are associated with class and sophistication. This is one of the main reasons that they are considered to be so attractive. Not only this, but as they are a staple of menswear fashion, there is a history of men who are considered to be attractive, wearing suits. The best example of this is international sex symbol James Bond - Who is very rarely seen without a suit. In fact, he often wearsBrioni suits, but could also easily have been wearing aTom Ford suit.
The other reason they are so attractive, especiallyItalian cut Sartorial suits- is because they follow the body. The whole point of a Neapolitan suit is to be a close cut, and not to be loose-fitting like a lot of American-style suits. This close-cut means that the man's body is often more visible than if they were wearing other clothes which are baggier. As long as you have a good figure and a correctly fitting suit - the attractiveness and elegance which comes from wearing a suit can be easily seen.
Is a 1000 dollar suit worth it?
This is one of the most common questions we come across - and as already answered in this article, you can see a good suit as an investment into all future job interviews, college interviews, graduation ceremonies,funerals,operas, and any other formal attire occasions. If you really play your cards right and buy the perfect suit, you can literally attend every formal occasion with one suit.
For this, we recommend a black suit. You could also go for a burgundy suit, or potentially navy or charcoal. These are the only acceptable colors to wear to 99 percent of formal events (exceptblack-tie events, where you really should wear a blacktuxedowith a black bowtie)
One great example would be IsuiT - ByKired. This collaboration brings amodern twist to the classic menswear- keeping the traditional colors, cuts, drops, etc. But making the suit packable, sporty, modern, and the trousers elasticated. This unique spin gives the modern man everything they may ever need in one single suit.
Make sure you wear a clean, pressed, white work shirt - underneath your suit.
Why are suits so uncomfortable?
If your suit is uncomfortable - you might be wearing the wrong suit! American and British-cut suits are both considered to be uncomfortable, and they do not allow for full movement while wearing.
However, a correctly-fitted Italian Suit will allow for full movement, and you could play sport in one. The point here is this only works if you have the exact right suit for you.That is why suit companies use the "drop" system.This allows for the closest thing to a made-to-measure suit as possible, without paying a huge amount.

Does everyone look good in a suit?
Absolutely not. The main problem is that people wear suits that do not fit them properly. Not only that, but they get the wrong cut of a suit. Furthermore, people who are morbidly obese simply don't fit well into most suits, and therefore also don't look great in them.
However, a man with a normal suit and the correct drop and cut will look great in a suit. Furthermore, anyone who has experience wearing suits often pulls it off well. The reason for this is that they are used to wearing them on a daily basis - and therefore have established their own personal style of wearing the suit. If you want to look good in a suit, find your own personal style of how you wear them!
Also - you need to take care that your accessories are on point. There is the right way to accessorize and the wrong way to accessorize. We recommend that you don't break any of the rules of classic menswear unless you know exactly what you're doing.
You can easily completely ruin your look simply by wearing an improper accessory. For example, a brightly colored tie with a more classic suit.

Slowly but surely suits are falling out of mainstream popularity. This is mainly due to the deformalization of the workplace. However, in a certain niche, suits will never die.

With more and more people working from home, and more and more work places becoming more leisurely, the suit is slowly falling out of fashion. We here at IsuiT - Italian Luxury, believe this is a catastrophe, and we are trying to keep the uniqueness of a tailored suit alive - alongside brands such as Kiton who are doing the same thing.
Is it OK to wear the same suit everyday?
It's less than optimal to wear the same suit everyday - But if you only have one suit, you can definitely get away with it.

This means you don't have to buy many expensive suits, and you can therefore get away with just the one.
Are black suits too formal?

Do not wear a full black tie and black suit to awedding, for example, as this is far too formal and somber for such a happy affair.

Secondly, they take longer to make, as they are all hand-tailored. Finally, they are an investment - and can last many years with proper care.
While some people may balk at the high price tag, suits made in Italy are worth the investment. They will always be in style, and will never go out of fashion. They can also be passed down from generation to generation, making them a valuable family heirloom.
