Interview: More Than a Pretty Face

Exceptional Interlinings

Zegna suits are full-canvas and made with the best interlinings in the world. This allows the jacket to lay beautifully against your body and ensures longevity.

Quality Buttons

Buttons are made of highquality Corozo, genuine horn or mother of pearl and color coated in-house to perfectly match the hue of your garment.

Superior Production

In all, 500 hands from the familyowned, vertically integrated company contribute to the making of each suit, from acquiring the wool to weaving the innovative fabrics to the final finishing work on your barchetta breast pocket.

LUXURY SUIT CONSTRUCTION

Fine Fabric

The fine wool fabric “breathes,” so it’s cool and comfortable even in overheated office buildings.

Modern Fit

The slightly shorter jacket and a softer, more sculpted silhouette will make you look and feel like a million bucks.

Inside a Suit

At first glance, these two dark gray suit jackets appear to be similar. But take a closer look (or feel) and you’ll quickly see that color is the only thing they have in common.

The jacket on the left is made by Ermenegildo Zegna, produced in its European factories from one of its proprietary high-performance fabrics. On the right is a scratchy, boxy bargain version, available at a national menswear chain famous for its price-slashing promotions. Sure, you can get three for under $500… but you get what you pay for.

Poor Fit

Stiff shoulders and a full, boxy cut look unnatural and out of date. You deserve better!

Inferior Fabric

Generic, utilitarian fabric is rough and wrinkles easily.

Uncomfortable

Low armholes make moving uncomfortable: every time you lift your arms, the entire body of your jacket lifts with you.

BARGAIN SUIT CONSTRUCTION

Cheap Interlinings

Shoddy inner workings are glued into the suit, so after only a few cleanings, the glue will begin to wear down and come through the fabric in unsightly patches.

In a spoof that aired earlier this year on SNL, comedian Vanessa Bayer suggested that “affordable and absorbent” suits from this national chain were better suited to wiping spills and soaking up bacongrease. Because of the chain’s “innovative buy-one-get-three-free pricing,” she explains, “they’re effectively cheaper than paper towels” and “I can feel good about throwing them away when I’m done.”

We cringe at the idea of a disposable wardrobe and prefer to invest in classic clothing that’s made to last. Come into the store and see for yourself why top-quality tailoring is the obvious choice.
