whoosahentertaintment: Suit Up

Just went to KLCC to pick up my Giorgio Armani (black label) suit , I am really impressed with the suit as it is actually shinier that what i thought it was( i am sucker for shiny clothes and accessories)... but i was wrong about the price before discount it retails at MYR9499 .

I cant really tell the construction of the suit , whether it is fused or canvassed , but according to what i read from SF from the user PaoloM http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?p=2846017 , he mentioned that all Giorgio Armani Black Labels are fully canvassed ,proud and happy to hear this because all great suits are normally fully canvased so if this suit is fused it would not justify the cost cutting and the price asked. Although i did ask the sales assistant in Giorgio Armani boutique wether the suit is fused or canvassed but it appears that he didt understand what it is. (kinda expected lol)

Anyway the fabric of the Suit is 85% Ramie and 15% Silk

the linings are made of 51% viscose and 49% acetate

its the first ever of the rack suit that i found in local designers boutique in Malaysia that is in the size 44 which perfectly fits my size , and it was the only size suit in size 44 brought in by Giorgio Armani , according to the sales assistant he was shocked that they actually has a size 44 in their inventory because they dont order anything less than size 46 , so i was really lucky and fortunate to have bought it . Even my first suit which is from Emporio Armani is size 46 but with with some alteration done on the sleeves and on the back but it still doesnt look very nice as the fit on the shoulder is still too big and nothing can be done about it. The suit is ventless as i ve been told before that is Armani's suit signature.

The color is also quite interesting , although it is actually shiny charcoal grey but under lower brightness lighting the suits appears to be in different color somewhat brownish but still shiny thought.

Oh by the way this is my first that i heard such fabric called Ramie .. i didt even know it existed , so i did some research (on Google where else) and found that it has good resistant against bacteria, mildew, alkalis, rotting, light, and insect attack. Which means this suit can be buried with! Its actually already proven by the Egyption because they used ramie textile for their mummy cloths.

you can check out about Ramie hre from http://www.swicofil.com/products/007ramie.html

They also mention that this fabric is quite pricey to produce so I am quite happy to know that since not all the money spend going to markups and brand name as alot of skeptics want to belief about Armanis. So they do actually produce good quality suits with high quality fabrics and construction.

So here are the pictures (sorry they are abit crumpled)
