However, to fully understand this quality it is necessary to... take it apart. It is the inside of the garment that makes the difference between a regular suit and a quality suit.  The choice of materials determines its wear and appearance, the construction techniques guarantee fit and style. These are the details that we want to examine. Firstly, the underlying fabrics; the PAL ZILERI suits are made with only natural fibers: camel hair, horse hair, pure cotton and wool. The underlining and interfacing create the framework for the suit. The front quarters in fabric are placed on this framework with pure cotton stitching; this technique ensures the appearance and durability of the garment in time. Every Pal Zileri garment is of the highest quality, the result of the strictest tailoring methods.  Over 180 main processes and more than 6 hours of production are needed to obtain such a garment (which acquires quality and added value thanks to this type of process).  A multitude of colors and fabrics, 60% of which are made exclusively for Pal Zileri.  By its cut and refined fabrics, the Pal Zileri satisfies the demands of the man who wants to keep in step with the times with a style that is classical yet always up to date with fashion trends. The Pal Zileri line is on a higher quality plane.  Incorporating the characteristics of clothing produced in the old sartorial tradition, such as the tailoring of the shoulders and the sleeve fitting, the join of the collar and the feeling of the  fabric on the neck lining, the felled outside seams, the outside "boat" pocket and the cuffs, all hand-finished.  All the components, some of them concealed, are prepared and put together by hand with a process that requires many hours of skillful and meticulous workmanship: this makes the suit comfortable and more pleasant to wear, as it molds to the body perfectly Model Number: SCMEN-0013 Designer: Pal Zileri Cerimonia Color: Black Season: 2008 Fabric: 70% virgin wool, 30% MohairLining:  100% bemberg Size: Size 50 Drop 8 Regular (Italy)Size 40 Drop 8 Regular (USA) Delivery Time: Available for Immediate Shipping Condition: Brand New Retail Price: Euros 1,200.00 (Approx. $1,800.00) Shipping: $45.00 Fully Insured Please Note The Gown Is Shipped From Italy The anatomy of your Pal Zileri suit...The shoulders have pure cotton padding worked into the front underlying fabrics giving the jacket a soft, natural effect.

It was a pleasure meeting you, and thank you so much for all of your help. You are a wonderful person and I am so thankful to do business with you. I love the gown and so does my Mother. Take Care and I hope to see you soon! Toni Ebay Member: orion437 Dear Theresa, I purchased my wedding gown from you over the winter and the wedding was Sept. 16th. The only alterations needed were the hem and bustle. People could not believe how gorgeous and unique my dress was. I loved it and felt beautiful in it. I wanted to share some pictures with you although they do not do it justice. Thank you so much for everything. It truly was my dream dress, it couldn't have been more perfect. Good luck in the future with your gowns. You will make a lot of brides very happy! Sincerely. Ebay Member: JVitanza View Picture Thank you so much - I bought the gown this morning.  Please know that when the wedding is over I will be donating the dress to an organization in DC that helps underpriviledged kids look great on their prom nights. Just in case they don't have a lot of grown-ups in their lives who help them to see beyond tomorrow,  I will write a little note to be pinned inside that reminds the wearer that, while tonight is a fairy tale night, this is just the beginning of their lives and wonderful opportunities lay ahead when they make choices that look to the future.  Ebay Member: lisadna4n6 Dear Teresa, My fiance left and ran to open the box. First let me say, the packaging was elegant and thank you for the garter. I saw the gown and I couldn't believe how much more beautiful it is in person that it was on the mannequin. This is definately a heavy silk gown. Beautiful Burano lace, sumptuous silk and the pearl buttons are exquisite. The gown fit beautifully, no alterations needed except the hem, and something must be done with the bow in the back. It appears that it was sewn on and it was difficult to get the dress on with the bow restricting the opening when unzipped. (It is also a little tight in the bust, but I can get away with it.) Otherwise, the gown is flawlessly beautiful. Generally when I buy a dress, I'm a size 8, but I sometimes buy a 10 for extra room. I'm glad I bought this as a 12, because I certainly could not fit into this gown a size smaller. I love the style of the dress, as I'm an older bride and I didn't want to look "poofy". Thank you for sending me such a lovely gown. I am so pleased with this dress, I cannot begin to express my enthusiasm. Ebay Member: ican56 Thanks for the beautiful gown. I wanted to comment on the vintage gown that I got first. I took the dress to a very well known local fashion designer and she was amazed at it. On the good fabrics that it was made, excellent quality alencon lace. I wanted to make some changes to it to wear it and she just refused. She placed it on the box again and she said to me "wear it the way it is you dont make changes to a dress like this." I am very proud to own that dress. I am getting the one I enquired the first place becuase is a bit more modern, but I iwll definitely keep the other one with a lot of pride. Ebay Member: rose_hesh How To MeasureSizing Guidelines These are some basic guidelines to follow if you don't know your suit size.Coat Measurement: There are two different ways to measure your chest size. Both require the help of a friend.1. Raise your arms out to the side. Place tape measure around your back and across the fullest part of your chest, just below the armpits. When you lower your arms, your chest will expand slightly. Take this chest measurement, inserting one finger between measuring tape and chest for a comfortable fit. Add 2 inches. This is your jacket size.2. Keep your arms at your side and place the measuring tape around your back on top of your shoulder blades, and across the fullest part of your chest, over your arms. Subtract 6 inches. This is your jacket size. This method is preferable for gentlemen with an athletic build.Use the following guide to determine which coat length you'll need:Regular = 5' 7" to 5' 11"Short = 5' 4" to 5' 7"Long = 5' 11.5" to 6' 2.5"Extra Long = 6' 3" & upWaist MeasurementPlace the measuring tape around your natural waist just below the navel. This is your waist size. Some gentlemen have disproportionately large hips or thighs compared to their waist measurement. It may be necessary for these men to order a larger waist size.*** We strongly recommend you'll be measured by a professional seamstress or tailor, than compare your measurements with the one provided in the listing.
