    The Unofficial Sartoria Pastena Elegance Naples Thread

    I am starting a thread for Antonio Pastena. This is a small Neapolitan tailoring house who has started doing some trunk shows in the United States and Paris. I understand they opened in 2014 after the father and son had years of experience at Panico, Kiton, and then Rubinacci. He just did a...

    Best value jacket/trouser cloners?

    So assuming I've found my ultimate fit in terms of a jacket and ultimate fit in terms of trousers, which I have now, after having bought dozens of suits and sportcoats over the years; do we have any good tailors/vendors now for copying construction and fit for CMT jobs? I have a few bolts of...

    What is good in Napoli right now? I am here.

    Plan on going to Cappelli and maybe checking out Attolini. Are there any outlets that actually have the SF favored brands on closeout? Any places with a sale? What about shops that offer good values in general?

    Stephen A. Smith's suits and odd jackets?

    Any of you guys watch First Take on ESPN? Stephen Smith has a few jackets that look great. Probably bespoke. Love that wide peak lapel and it's a perfect fit. Thoughts?

    How to identify Santoni shoe lines?

    Hey all, I did some searching but did not find an answer. Plenty of threads about different lines by Santoni, but little guidance on how to identify. Can anyone guess as to what the retail price for these shoes was...

    Link me to some nice garment bags :)

    So I need a few of these for some suits. Anyone have a recommendation for a source on ones with full length zippers, a clear front, and a canvas back? Prefer not to spend more than $25 for 5 or 6. I saw these, which looked ok and were on sale super cheap, but IKEA shipping starts at $15...

    State of the Shirt Market? What are the go-to places these days?

    Hey all. Anyone noticed the PSA thread link doesn't seem to lead anywhere now? Haven't followed the Classic Menswear forum for a while now, so this may be old news. Normally I'd check there first to see what people are buying and what websites are having promotions at this time. Anyway, I...

    New Barrett Italy (Fine Leather Chukka) Size 13

    I purchased a pair of these topshelf Italian boots to wear to a ball two years ago and never wore them. They were slightly too large for me as I typically wear an american size 12. They are marked "12", made in Italy, in absolute mint condition and have never been worn (you can clearly see the...

    Are all Levi's 508s more or less the same quality?

    I was at a Kohl's today and saw a pair of Levi's in my favorite style, the 508 regular taper. They were only like $40, which is half of what they sell for in the Levi's store at retail. So I was wondering, does Levi's make a cheaper line for department stores or is this stuff exactly the same...

    Finamore ties?

    So everyone knows Finamore makes great shirts. I just bought a tie from shopthefinest for 100$. I did it because I liked the pattern/color. The tie is just a simple three fold. Does anyone have experience with the quality of these ties? How do they compare to other styleforum favorites like...

    Anyone seen these Zegna shoes?

    Purchased years ago at a Nordstrom Rack. I love them, but would like to know a model name to find them online. I'm considering wearing them to interviews for legal work (it is early interview week / on campus interviews in mid August.) I don't know if they might be too casual without laces.

    Criticize my suit

    Yes, i realize my pant legs look long in this photo. And in general, it's not a great picture -- but comments, feedback, thoughts? Can anyone guess the maker? If anyone is curious about dimensions, I am wearing a size 38. 6'0, 190 pounds.

    Pantherella Socks way too large.

    I got a bunch of large Pantherella socks from the sale at STP last week. A dozen pairs. They are supposed to be for men with a shoe size of 11-13. I wear a size 12 shoe, and these things can fit over my shoe. They have just been delivered and i have not washed them yet. Do they shrink in the...

    Palazzo Santi shirts?

    I was just at Filene's Basement looking at the dress shirts. I saw that they had "Palazzo Santi" shirts there marked down from $175.00 to $49.99. I have never heard of this brand, I bought a white one with a spread collar and expected to find some info online when I got home. Googled, but...
