For $50,000, you know it has to be the best!

The price must reflect the premium on fabrics woven by virgins.
Having been to their factory, seen these suits being made and seen them on some people, I can say a few things:
1. The price on CNN is overstated, They run more like 15k.
2. The work is beautifully done. It is as nice as any work I have ever seen.
3. The fits that I have seen have been superb. They are not a real typical Neapolitan cut, but rather clean and trim.
That being said, I do not actually like them as much as what I get in Naples (not that mine are the best, I just like them a good bit more) and the price, whether 50k, 30k or 15k is outrageous and really hard to justify. However, compared to the "bespoke" from their competitor Attolini (which is just a suit that costs twice as much as RTW and is made on the same assembly line), they are a different world.
I still can't figure out who would buy one, but perhaps I am not the market. Actually, there is no perhaps about it.
Don't they also tout travelling tailors and a whole bit of marketing fluff to compel people to buy the thing?

A little off topic but I was reading something about super number cloths today and I wanted to see what the feeling here was about them?
Adding some interest, this is the thread I found it all on.
