If i remember correctly the GA black label order goes something like this
Fatto A mano Su misura: The MTM part
Fatto A mano RTW: Ready to wear but with a lot of handwork
Regular black label
The first 2 are fully canvassed the last one Im not sure but you would expect it to be fully canvassed.


My suit is not fully-canvassed . I don't know it's fused or half canvassed.

Dreadful looking rag - send it back or, if you can't, burn it.

I'm as sure as I can be over the internet that this is authentic for the following reasons

1) The tags look legit
2) Clicking on the link, it appears the vendor is affiliated with Amazon
3) You mention the baggy pants - that is part of Armani's signature style
4) The jacket pockets appear to have no flaps, again another Armani signature style

Browse through any Armani lookbook and you will see many baggy straight-leg pants and jackets without pocket flaps.

Black Label came to Canada only recently, and I was disappointed with the fit and fabrics. Lots of polyester (!)
Has anybody else noticed that Collezioni suits have really nice fabrics?T


It is amazing how much Mr. Armani wants for polyester. Too many blends with synthetic fabrics, but there are some natural fabrics to be had if you care to look, and if the price is right...

This is how it looks on me. Please give me some suggestions. Thanks everyone!

There's some cases here in Boston where Collezioni suits are better than the mainline Black Label. The Collezioni have better fabrics and are actually fully canvassed compared to half. But finding really nice Collezioni suits aren't easy either.
I think regular black label used to fully canvassed, but that may have changed. OP, is the suit half canvassed or fused?
I'm guessing the suit is half canvassed, I haven't found a fused black label yet, but that's just me. I'm pretty sure the regular mainline black labels are now all half canvassed. And the higher lines are fully canvassed.

I think the lapels look great!

I'm not as good as other people here at judging how well a suit fits, but I think the pants look a little long.
