 Tighter fit than expected Jul 20, 2010
This is the second suit I've purchased from Darya Trading. I was very happy with the Bianco Brioni Italian Linen suit's fit and value. Shipping to Madison, Wisconsin was also very quick.
The fabric on this suit is navy with alternating wide shadow stripes and thin lighter blue chalk-stripes. From more than a few feet away, the thin stripes are unnoticeable. The lining changes between black and merlot in the light. The linen suit is obviously much more breathable but I'm hoping this one will turn out to be comfortable like other reviewers have said.
I bought both suits in 38R and they fit my shoulders perfectly. The shoulders measure 18.25" across the back and the length 30.5" from bottom of collar. The sleeves on both suits run longer at 25.5". I have longer arms (shirt size 15-34/35) and still needed 3/4" taken off. Due to the functional cuff buttons, the best way to tailor is from the shoulders which can be expensive.
This G Valentino suit runs much tighter in the chest area, partially because of the 3-button lapel roll. The waist of the slacks was also tighter, I would guess it is 30" and can be let out 2". Given how slim everything else is cut, the jacket has surprisingly mild waist suppression.
I am 5'10" and 170lbs and there was noticeable pulling around the button and the lapels would not lie flat -- actually, quite similar to the pictures. The back of the collar also tends to stand away from my neck. I decided to keep it anyway and hope the tailor can make it fit better.

nice suits Mar 02, 2010
I bought this suit and another one (presidential signature collection) from Darya trading. I like the Gino vallentio better than the presidential one. G. V. is nicely made and I liked the shadow stripes. I ordered the 36 Small later exchanged it to 38 Small which i wear. 38 small is my size. I ordered 36 S as I could not find 38 S in the amazon website. But I later exchanged it for 38 S. Thanks to the customer service .. it has been great to deal with the lady. She was very nice and courteous. I would buy again from them. I hope they update their inventory often. So that we can get the right size suits. IT guys should check more often with the inventory and update. It will be nice if they offer free shipping.....
Awesome! Oct 20, 2009
I have ordered two suits from Darya Trading based on price and description and I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a quality men's suit at an affordable price.
I had a little problem with getting free shipping due to misunderstanding on my part. They were very accommodating, patient and helpful in helping me to solve my problem. They responded promptly to all my inquiries and now my order is on its way and I have my free shipping. I can not wait for my order to arrive.
I am so pleased with the vendor I didn't even want to wait for my order to arrive before leaving a VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK!
Just a FANTASTIC company to deal with!

Darn good suit for the price; really good price! May 10, 2009
I ordered this suit because I needed a good suit in a hurry for a wedding. I was very hesitant about buying a suit online as I am fussy about suits. However, the reviews for this seller and suits were very positive so after several fruitless and frustrating weeks of shopping locally, I ordered this suit.
First the cons:
The sleeves are sewn tight to the body. If you need to reach up a lot (overhead shelves, blackboard) this suit may bother you. Basically, the sleeve lifts the whole jacket every time you lift your arm/arms above chin level and you need to shrug it back in position when you drop your arms. Yeah, this is why it's 4 stars, 5 stars says something is perfect.
Now the pros:
Yep, that was it for the cons!
The suit fabric is quite soft, lush and silky, easily comfortable all day fabric. Definitely not the abrasive wools so often found in cheaper suits.
The suit arrived three days after I ordered it and this includes weekend days.
After hemming the pants, the suit fit and wore perfectly. I did not remove the jacket for hours at an oudoor wedding and reception in Virginia with high humidity 80% and 85 F temps... Normally I would've shucked the jacket and found an excuse to get out of a wool suit immediately after the wedding ceremony in that kind of weather. Darn comfortable suit for standing around outside in hot muggy weather and making chitchat with the relatives and friends.
Is it a thousand dollar suit? well, no, not to my mind but it easily beats suits I looked at in the $500 to $800 price range. The lining did not bunch or pull out, the pants are comfortable and lined well down the front of the leg. The pockets are in the right places at the right angles and include the small interior pockets so one can separate coins from keys.
Sewing in this suit looks very good with all pockets and edges well stitched. I found one loose thread in the whole suit and that thread was just a tag end on an interior pocket reinforcement stitch. small scissors cleaned that up.
The fabric has excellent hand and lays very well across the shoulders and neck so that one does not get that ugly hunched gap behind the neck. Outside of raising your arms above your head, the suit flexes extremely well and returns to position without tugging or shifting. An excellent suit to dance in and not worry about how the suit looks. Shame I didn't order from this company before I retired, I think I would've loved their suits for work; I just would've removed the jacket for cubical work or blackboard use.
So, if you are looking at these suits and hesitating because you are worried about online ordering; make the leap and do it, this suit is a bargain and easily beats the suits you probably didn't like locally.
