Are there sportcoats and suits fully canvassed? I can't find any info on quality and construction. Thanks

I received my first Barba Napoli jacket today. Fully canvassed. The pattern matching of fabric is good. The label says it is hand-made in Napoli. But compared to jackets from Isaia, Formosa, it doesn't seem to be hand-stitched.

I can see it through the lining. Sorry for the delay in replying.
For the hierarchy of suits/jackets how it stack up compared to Canali/Corneliani since the price point is around there ?
Do you have also something from those two?

I’m not great at comparing. I will say that I like the fit and style of my Barba better than Canali and Corneliani. I’m not a fan of shoulder padding and roping and Barba has virtually no shoulder padding or roping. The buttons appear to be horn. I do like Canali Kei. Caruso is another great brand. I think the price to quality ratio of Caruso and Barba items are the best. I snagged a bunch of Caruso sportcoats from Yoox for about $350. I like Caruso more than Isaia and Kiton.
