    Best tailor for a bespoke or MTM jacket in Rome?

    my use case is that I travel non-stop for years at a time (seven and counting) with only carry-on luggage, so I have room for just one decent jacket. I'm concerned about wearing it out. (I'm not sure how well-founded this concern is.)

    Best tailor for a bespoke or MTM jacket in Rome?

    Best tailor for a bespoke or MTM jacket in Rome?

    I'll be in Rome for a while and I was thinking of getting a jacket made while I'm here, either bespoke or MTM. Searching the forum I found a thread by SeamasterLux suggesting Sartoria Ripense might be a good option. They currently charge €3300 for a jacket (minus VAT refund for non-EU...

    what kind of leather are these gloves?

    the pattern looks like peccary but the texture looks smoother than peccary. I know sometimes a peccary-like pattern gets applied to other leathers.
