Milan: Brief Thoughts (also now featuring Naples reports) - Page 7

Yep that one.

Yea it's not a big shop.

Nope, didn't go downstairs - spent too much time looking at ties and pocket squares and I had to get over to meet Mina and Dino. I also meant to mention in my original writeup, they had some colorful and beautiful summer scarves. Summer scarves are a step too far for me as it's just pure decoration and flamboyance, while making you more uncomfortable rather than less...unless it's a summer in San Francisco or something. In DC the idea of wearing a scarf during the summer is just ridiculous. But anyway if you're into scarves, they would be a good place to look.

Another thing - across the street from Finamore is the Armani shop, the windows of which showed basically the exact opposite of what I was looking for and what other shops displayed. In particular, a way-too-short DB with matching pants that looked like sweatpants, hemmed up with an elastic hem, with a side zipper. On suit pants. I used to like Armani a lot, and still some of the things I have I like a lot and wear, but they seem lost now to me.

The NsM cream linen DB and Cappelli tie together...

Hmm I can't remember. If we talked about it, I would have said I wanted straight lapels. But I also don't think I've ever seen a NsM coat with bellied lapels.

I stayed at Hotel Majestic, which was nice and well-located. Hotel Alabardieri seems to be the other main option. I unfortunately didn't get to go to Capri or Pompeii...I hope to see both on a future visit, perhaps when it's not so infernally hot.
