I was at the outlet last weekend and they were batting flies. Lots of suits, jackets and shirts from Harold.

Harold must be fun at parties.

I was there on the second day, and a lot of stuff was flying off the shelves. Also saw a cabinet minister there (nice guy!).

But Garrison Bespoke is also made in China. Nothing wrong with garments made in China. Micheal has made a fortune here with Garrison so called bespoke.

And rumor has it cucinelli just signed a contract for Chinese manufacturer Kutesmart.
Where do some of you guys get this info? It absolutely preposterous that Cucinelli would do any kind of manufacturing or other industrial process outside of Italy

Not preposterous. The complexity of supply chains in fashion is frequently reported in newspapers
