Question:
Anyone have any of these? I was just wondering how they hold up.
Answer:
I have a Zegna Su Misura suit in the Traveler fabric. It is solid navy with just a bit of texture. It is probably my favorite suit. I bought it used from a consignment store, so it had been around at least a little bit before I got it. I don't wear suits to work so this Zegna I maybe wear 2-4 time a year.
The Traveler fabric is very good about resisting wrinkles. I was a little worried about it being too warm for the Texas climate most of the year, but it has been OK every time I have worn it, including getting up into the mid 90s.
I can't really vouch for durability for someone who might need to wear a similar suit on a regular basis, but mine anyway is holding up well and it seems to be more durable than your typical Italian suit with thinner fabric.
I got caught in the rain with it once. The shoulders ended up mottled looking, but after dry cleaning it looked just fine.

Answer:
Thanks. I'd never had any experience with these, but I saw one at Saks on their sale (50% off the lowest marked price), and couldn't resist. It was brown (which I don't have) and had flat-front trousers, which are very hard to find from Zegna. Even with alterations (8 working buttons on cuff) it was still about 60% off retail.
Answer:
I've found it to hold up very well, but by the same token I've never had durability issues with any Zegna fabric, from "D"-level Super 100's to 15 milmil 15's. If anything, the S100's resists wrinkles best of any of them.
