    the biggest issue will be fit - buy the one that fits the best & you feel most comfortable in. comfort = confidence = impressiveness.

    - chuck
    01 996tt - GT700
    forged pistons, forged rods, clubsport intercoolers, upgraded fuel system, gen 1 fabspeed loud exhaust, sachs stg 3 clutch, 964 light-weight flywheel, b&m short shifter, motons, oz superleggera III wheels, strosek rear spoiler, lots of carbon fiber inside, custom lamborghini titanium metallic paint

    I would go in, get measured, tell them what you like and they should be able to help you out from there. If you have a business relationship that's even better. Forget the brands and just have them put you in something you feel confident in.

    he doesn't have credit at a tailor, he has credit at a men's store selling the brands he listed.


    tailored is not necessarily beter - you still need a good tailor

    Brioni or Zegna! I bought a Zegna a couple months ago and it is superb! Comfortable, fashionable and I feel confident in it.

    Brioni or Zegna, although I bet both will cost you extra.

    Chuck is right though, fit before brand name. It's all in the fit.
