You can insane deals on top-tier garments on ebay. Some of them are literally in nee condition but are still discounted by like 80-90%
Savile Row Tailors to Look For:
Anderson & Sheppard(James Bond)
Henry Poole
Huntsman
Gieves & Hawkes (older pieces)
Richard James
Top Italian Suit Brands:
Brioni
Kiton
Isaia
Loro Piana
Canali (higher lines)
Zegna (Couture line)
Caruso
Cesare Attolini
Difference between Savile Row and Neopolitan Tailoring. You can learn here
2. eBay Strategy
Search like this: Use keywords like βSavile Row suit 38Rβ or βBrioni handmade jacket.β
Save searches: Let eBay notify you the second something gets listed.
Look for poor listings: Misspelled brand names ("Briony" instead of "Brioni") = fewer bidders = cheap deals.
Snipe Auctions: Bid at the last second using tools like Gixen.
3. Find Your Measurements
Forget βSmall/Medium/Largeβ sizing. You need exact measurements:
Shoulder to shoulder
Chest (pit to pit)
Sleeve length
Jacket length (bottom of collar to hem)
Waist, inseam, rise (for pants)
Ask the seller for measurements if not listed. Tailored suits are not all the same size even if labeled "40R." I'm 44R but I often can get away with 42R too it depends.
4. Authentication
Ask for close-up photos of tags, stitching, buttonholes, and linings.
Compare with known authentic pieces online. These high-end suits generally have a lot of handwork and attention to details. Everything looks and feels extremely premium. High armholes, ticket pockets, surgeon cuffs these are all signature Savile Row Touches.
Avoid anything βtoo cheapβ without proof Brioni jackets for $50 are usually fake or heavily damaged.
5. Budget for Tailoring
Even the best deal may need slight adjustments. Budget $50β$150 for a local tailor to:
Adjust sleeves
Bring in the waist
Hem pants
Major changes (like shoulder or chest alterations) are risky and expensive so buy close to your fit.
Bonus Tip-Be mindful of shipping charges sometimes they can be ridiculously expensive so you can contact them seller and find a way to get it shipped to your place for cheap throught package aggregators instead of eBay
Examples they sell for thousands of dollars retail but you can buy them for a just a couple hundred dollars on ebay
