Can someone identify this suit?

[APP Adrian]

I found this suit at a thrift store, it fits perfectly.

Can someone identify the brand and possible era?

Is this suit bespoke or MTM?

Looks 1980s to me, though it is hard to tell from those pictures. Definitely not bespoke, as it has a factory label. Sometimes tailors like "Vincent Custom Tailors" will do their own made-to-measure service through a factory - several places in my town do that with Martin Greenfield or Southwick. That would be my guess about how this suit came to sport both a factory label and a tailor's label.

The fit is too perfect for it to be RTW, it must be MTM!

since the suit wasn't MTM for you, the fact that it fits perfectly is pure luck.

I have a pretty common body type, It was probably a coincidence that we are the same size.

Lanificio Policoro is the mill that made the cloth so could be tailored or MTM. Many times you purchase the cloth and they give you the mill label to be added. Think the best way you can tell if its tailored (or if it's upscale) is to see the stitching if its done by hand. I would defenitely say it's 80's, at least form the angle the picture is taken

 

[Mathematicus]

Knowing that Lanificio Policarpo started his activity in 1945, it's unlikely that this suit would come farther than 80s.

 

[Claudio]

Why's that? If it's still existing, or closed in the 90's (I don't know) then this could be a more recent find?

 

[herringbonekid]

it definitely looks 80s, possibly early 90s.

 

[APP Adrian]

Bad news, someone else bought the suit =(.

I remember those suits in the early 1990's. Pretty bog standard item.
