Gianni Manzoni Suits

Gianni Manzoni suits are nice little additions to the Italian suit family. This designer is well rounded and makes garments ready for business or a night on the town.

They are, however, not at the top of the Italian design craft, as most would agree that a Canali or Brioni represent a higher quality suit with traditional Italian tailoring.

This is not going to be the best first suit to pick but it can be a great margin builder for your wardrobe.

Style

Conservative with midrange size lapels and traditional solids or pinstripes. The sides of these suits are minimally tapered and the shoulders are heavily padded - typical of Italian tailoring If you can pull this off at your office, then you can leave it on when you clock out at five and head to town with your friends.

If you work in a more conservative business sector, you may want to stray from an Italian designer suit.

As we mentioned, Gianni Manzoni does not represent the Bentley of men's suits. That award is saved for Brioni and the like, so do not expect to find every Manzoni jacket to be fully canvassed. Do, however, expect some pick stitching, dual vents, and fitted suits.

Materials

Mostly finely spun wool ranging from super 100's to 150's. Good for wearing year round but if you want something that will last, demand a high quality wool that balances fineness and durability.

Colors

You can find Manzoni's in every traditional hue, with some outliers like Ivory and Khaki.

Price

Gianni Manzoni suits will set you back $200.00 - $400.00. Shop around and try to get one of the higher quality wools - you'll thank yourself later as it will last longer.

There's really no point in spending a couple hundred dollars on an article of clothing that is not going to keep up with you.

Conclusion

As we mentioned before, Gianni Manzoni's are not necessarily bad suits, but you want to beware of designers who manufacture a product, manage their men's collection, and then throw an Italian name on it to exude a false sense of handcrafted, family-tailored perfection.

If you're buying this suit online, and you may want to consider it from the fiscal perspective, be sure you have a trustworthy tailor to whom you can take your suit for an honest opinion.
