Corneliani

Is a nice material and for full canvass at STP prices, it's tough to complain. Needs the typical alterations as the sleeves are quite long (which they do on purpose) and needs a little waist suppression. Once that's done I think it will be a sport coat I own and use for many years at the office.

I own several Canali and Zegna suits and one Brioni. This suit is as well made as those suits. When I brought it to my tailor, he commented on the excellent craftsmanship. For a tailor to make that comment speaks volumes to this suit's quality.

I like the brand and the fit, but the design was not for me.

Other suits have been great. This one wasn't--the pattern wasn't for me.

superlative quality garment with impeccable Italian detail

Beautiful material. Comfortable cut. European padded shoulder takes some time to get used to; but stylish alternative to relaxed shoulder look. Best value I have ever received from STP. This manufacturer makes Ralph Lauren's Blue Label suits; Fantastic value.

After tailoring, this will be a very nice suit for a very reasonable price. The drape and shoulder fit is excellent. If in doubt, order a size down. I didn't the first time round, but STP was exceptionally fast in changing it out. Very nice color and texture to the fabric--comes off as a warm grey.

I am 6"4' and weigh 185lbs. The 52L (41US) long is absolutely perfect. The jacket hangs well. The wool/silk blend is wonderful. It is best for summr wear and the shoulder seasons.

Bought the suit before spending time in the UK this winter. I like the fabric; it holds up well with use--little wrinkling; and has been surprisingly warm. I've been very pleased with the suit.

The suit came yesterday; I haven't worn it yet, but here are my observations after carefully inspecting the suit and trying it on. 1. The fit is great in my case, but fit is such an individual matter that there may not be much to learn from my experience. I can usually wear a 40 regular right off the floor, and this 40 regular fits me great. There is nothing unusual about the fit of the 40R jacket or the 34 pant on me. (I'm 5'11", 170, fairly broad-shouldered; reasonably fit for an old guy.) 2. The pants are elegantly pleated in front. Maybe I don't understand suit terminology well, but the Sierra description says "flat front," which led me to expect no pleats. There are pleats. They are discreet and understated and I don't mind them at all, but they are pleats. 3. I hadn't bought a suit in ten years because in my line of work the sport coat is my dressiest normal attire. Choosing a green-toned suit as my only one went against conventional wisdom, so I was relieved to see when the suit arrived that the "green" color really is very muted. There's no doubt that green is the suit's deep hue, but it's a dignified look. There's enough black with the green that, as the Sierra description says, the overall effect is chestnut. I'm not positive about this, but I think I might be able to wear either black or brown leather with this suit. Certainly black, but probably brown too. That's unusual. As for the "birds-eye" pattern, I didn't know what this meant, and even an internet search didn't make me much the wiser, so I just took a chance. I can't easily describe it except to say that the pattern is hundreds of thousands of the tiniest imaginable black, dark green, and white checks. This sounds horrendous, I know, but it isn't. From any distance, say a foot or more, the impression of pattern comes more from natural color variance over inches and feet than from the micro-pattern. To this bird's eye, "birds-eye" yields a rather plain or old-fashioned look, nothing particularly bold, and that's fine with me. 4. I'm happy with the suit, I think. I'm only slightly nagged by this thought: Even at the deeply discounted price, the cost of this Italian suit was quite a bit higher than I would pay for a decent one sold off the rack at a local store, and what did I get for the difference? I know that knowledgeable, careful dressers will point to technical details of the cut, sewing, and construction, and I wish I had the eye for this kind of thing, but I guess I don't. We'll see with time, but for now I'm not positive that this very nice suit will look better or wear better than the last suit I bought years ago for a few hundred bucks at a local department store. Maybe it will. I'm staying open minded about it. I guess I'm trying to remind others like me, regular folks who are not fancy or especially knowledgeable about clothing, that good fit and reasonable elegance probably don't require words like "Italian" on the label. Anyway, I don't mean to be negative. I'm happy with my purchase.
