Hi,
I'm new to all this and need to pick up some RTW pieces to build my wardrobe up a little before going bespoke. The one thing I know I'm after is a natural-shouldered suit. Which RTW manufacturers make a good fitted, natural-shouldered suit? Thanks in advance for your time.

Sartoria Partenopea, La Vera Sartoria Napoletana, Kiton, Isaia, Attolini, and Borelli all make a natural shoulder to an extent. SP also makes for Barbera, albeit at a higher price.
edit: forgot Zegna's top line, can't remember the name off the top of my head. Not the line which you can find on rack after rack in Saks'--Napoli Couture or Sartoriale or similar.
I think that La Vera Sartoria is the only one that uses no padding whatsoever in RTW. I'm not 100% sure because haven't tried them on myself.

I bought my Partenopea sportcoat from Loungeite jasstoltz, who had found a small selection at C21. There's a cryptic reference to a "retail store on West Broadway" on another forum, but that's all I can find.

I got one from jasstoltz too. I'm a big fan of Partenopea. No idea where to find them in NYC, but L'Uomo in Montreal has a huge selection.kolecho wrote:
