Are Canali and Zegna Full Canvassed Suits?
I live in Washington, DC. Today I went to Sky Valet in Georgetown, a shoe store I recently became acquainted with and like a lot. Next door is a men’s clothing store called Everard’s Clothing. Louis Everard, the owner, introduced himself and tried to sell me Hickey Freeman, the only brand of suit he sells. I told him I prefer Italian suits. He then said that Canali and Zegna are not full canvassed suits. From what I have read here I thought they were full canvassed suits. He also said that Canali and Zegna at Bloomingdales (where Mr. Everard used to work) are a lower quality than they are at another DC mens’ shop called James (an establishment I don’t know). A Canali rep at SFA assured me that Canali suits are indeed full canvassed. A Zegna salesman at Zegna in Chicago told me that Zegna is full canvassed but that Canali is not. So can anyone here clear this up for me? Here is the website of his store: www.everardsclothing.
