Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
This is an absolutely gorgeous suit. Extremely fine cloth (super 150's, I would guess) yet does not wrinkle badly, (a pleasant surprise). Pink lining is an eye-popper (your tailor can replace if you prefer, I did not) and it was a bit tight across the upper back (easily rectified by my tailor). Stripes go from striking to subtle with varying shades of light (and appear a lighter blue, not teal, to me), and suit has a nice, Italian luster.
The man not feint of heart may well find it his preferred suit of all! When I first hung up the suit, my wife, whose tastes run on the rather conservative side, said, "I like it." Enough said, indeed. This is my favorite suit already, among a rather nice collection.
