Also the traditional brands - Santini, Castelli - I was never disappointed.

+1 on La Passione. My wife loves their clothing and their sales are super competitive. Its shipped from Italy and arrives at lightening speed.

Babicci is Arminian owned, designed in Italy but assembled in China ...
After about 2 seasons, the jersey was toast.

Armenian owned? All my dealings were with Australia and it was shipped from there. Tag says made in Italy. Two seasons on my kit and like new. Mind you, I've only worn it 4-5 times cuz I gots me some lots of kits.

Mine was designed in Italy but the tag said made in China. Maybe it has changed?
It's a Australian company but the owner I believe is of Armenian decent.

I'll still take Q36.5 any day, all day, every day!

Excellent cycling apparel, IMO.

However, that was about 15 years ago, and I don’t have anything newer from them.

Newest biemme i have is 4 years old, still in very good condition. Biemme changed my opinion on bibs.

Nalini. They used to have a line of more traditional, subdued designs they called the “70” series that seems to be discontinued now. That is unfortunate. Also unfortunate is the phasing out of the leather style chamois. You can still find both in the lineup, but it is increasingly difficult. The quality has always been great.

Wow! Thanks to everyone for all of the suggestions. This is a great list to go through. A number of them are "forehead-slapping - duh, should have remembered them" names while others are definitely new, so thank you. The one that I've found most impressive so far is Cima Coppi. VERY cool designs and they appear to have a neat business model. Has anyone seen discount codes for them?

I'm going to make my way through the current suggestions, but please feel free to make additional recommendations.

Thanks!

DNA Cycling in Sandy UT. Italian made, good quality kit. Using their bibs almost exclusively for a few years.

For some reason I always forget about Pissei Clothing. They are Made in Italy as well.

La Passione is my favorite right now.
