Zegna
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- The brand imagery of elevated luxury reaches new heights IMO. The ads, and the clothes — sophisticated and cool!
- All my Zegna and Purple Label and Isaia is from eBay
- High-waisted trousers for less than $30 (Zanella-I own probably 15 or 20 pairs-, Zegna, Pal Zileri, Bachrach, RL).
- Like zegna, Canali, etc. suits that would be closer to 2k retail.
- If price or speed is a factor *at all*, the experience you’d get at a regular MTM place like Proper Cloth or buying a slightly used Brioni/Zegna/Isaia etc and bringing it to a tailor will be equal or better quality at a lesser price.
Cons
- Too bad it all feels so out of reach. Their core cashmere sweaters were $1390 in stores yesterday 😭.
- Or I remember when Zegna was relatively reasonable 10+ years ago, but they seemed to have doubled or tripled in price.
- The prices are insane. I can go to downtown Vancouver and get a bespoke suit made of high quality wool for a similar price as some of their off the rack pieces.

I will go to LP or Zegna for fabric styles I do not get from standard brands. Standard brands tend to play safe while these premium ones do also carry the edgy stuff.
I know Zegna and Loro Piana are more expensive and supposedly higher quality.

Zegna (1390 USD) - Owns Biagioli, Made in Italy - Speaks for itself - My dad has a cashmere sweater from 10+ years ago basically 0 pilling
