Kiton K50 Suit

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

The price must reflect the premium on fabrics woven by virgins.

Re: Kiton K50 Suit

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?

Re: Kiton K50 Suit

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.
