Thank you very much for your nice words. It is an old wool that has more than 40 years of his life on his shoulders. I took it to Vecchio Drappiere of Milan.very nice jacket
if it is an odd jacket, it would look great with white trousers...
Thanks for your comment and for your nice words. Really.Great looking jacket. Love the color on the shirt also. Who made it?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR NICE MESSAGE.Crossposted from Gianni´s Shirt post.
Dear Gianni,
With all my respects but all this spamming with lies has gone too far, i am a student on Alta Sartoria in Naples and proud friend of all the big names who accepted me when I was nobody so got to defend their names.
First of all, Davinio wasn´t teached by the old Borrellis but for my same old grandmaster, who is considered the best alive and has teached almost all the great shirtmakers in Naples and revises all the rtw from Attolini, Borrelli, Isaia and Kiton, where I cooperate almost daily, I was sent to him by the Borrelli and Kiton masters. Or Davinio fooled you, or you are fooling us or both.
Davinio is doing a copycat of the back side of the collar who was designed by my personal friend, the grandson of Luigi Borrelli, who is now the Kiton master shirtmaker ( after the thing welll know on this Forum happened...)
That is not fair and any who owns a Kiton shirt could know. Davinio dares to use even the same fabric and reference ( I won´t tell the exact one, but any who has worked on Kiton could say as well ). If any copyright existed , your shirtmaker should be blamed for this low dignity shame.
I can upload a video I recorded on Kiton when they are making their collars with this feature as a prove I am for real, in case some one accuses me of not.
Pirozzi is not one of the best tailors in Naples and your db jacket has a lot of flares, so please stop spamming as if he was the best, who on the other hand of course is not the tripledpriced Rubinacci as is being believed here ( who is not respected on Naples or any neapoletan wears or likes him, only his complements are good on my humild opinion as well as the neapolitans, he just live from the name of his grandfather, who was as good as all from the 30s were, not better as he sells himself, just watch any cinema noir movie with James Cagney etc to find same or better tailored soft,slim perfect fitted suits, not like his )
This Pirozzi jacket has the shoulders way off from deltoids, a very poor fit;

Both Davinio whose shirt is honestly very good and Pirozzi suits are good ones ( not as the histrionic loud badly made you posted , sorry to say ), but not the best around and your spamming is not tolerable.
I respected you as good tiemaker until i started to receive a lot of spam and watching you got featured on simply the worst blogs around, who got no idea about dressing or about nothing, and are on this just to make money fooling people spamming with low quality garments.
Two of this are spaniard and say that Brioni is neapoletan and deconstructed, while is roman style, the most armoured ever. Recommends shoes color new black or cordovan, as it the horse leather was a colour , or new black misunderstood from the add, brown is the new black.
Say that Lino Lelucci, the milanese guy is a reputated neapoletan tailor, while he is not any.
Recomends red shoes for business use ( the only one I know doing that is Ronald McDonald )
Also on their books about " style " say that for a two century garment as the tailcoat, an horizontal striped blue shirt instead of the protocolary white shirt has to be wore or that blue jackets shouldn´t be wore by blond people, why everybody knows blue is the colour that best fits blond whity people.
The other blog, who is also friend of this one, is so " elegant " of wearing a Summer cream colour suit with white socks on a meeting on December, very elegant...
He is of course Simon Craptom who is commonly know to get bribed to promote third class impossible garments as the featured on his blog. This guy asked for money as well on the neapolitan business of a close friend and he was lucky to not end on the dock...
Simon gives a lower punctuation to a Kiton shirt, the better rtw shirt available in the world but gives a better note to simply the most atrocius shirt ever by Burgos Madrid, where it lacks of the last button, the shape is not opened at the bottom as a shirt has to be, the buttonholes are sewn with cheap thread instead of the expensive hand embroided one used in Naples. The fit is simply the worst we have seen ever, so we have printed it as example of brutta sartoria, bad tailoring and is on the walls of the Kiton Alta Sartoria school as well as the best around. That same shirt has been featured as a sartorial crime on other professional forums you might know if already didn´t try to spam on with your friends or your ties.
This shirt even has crooked the machine stitching, and defects( all the shirt is a big defect ) as knots on the stitching, due to poor machine operator that is honestly near impossible but they do that as well as plastic buttons while he say are MOP on a comment.
The breast is plenty of wrinkles, the cuff is simply unaceptable, lacks of shoulder height corrections, and is simply the worst crime i have ever seen while he gives a 9 out of 10 ( surely after he got the " shirt " for free as well as some money i guess ) He also promotes one of the worst tailors ever called Larrainzar, the un-tailor of the King of Spain, famous for his 4 sizes bigger cut and collar and sleeves atrotius, who also are on the walls of the alta sartoria schools to teach pupils what a crime is.
That is the " quality " of the blogs you are fetured on, that simply gives me shame as well as have become the jokers of all the real pros I know.
The "shirt" is featured here; http://www.permanentstyle.co.uk/2013/02/burgos-of-madrid-bespoke-shirt-review.html#.UrulGPYjzhU
I talked on Kiton about this last week and they made a lot of jokes about.
Those are the blogs you promote yourself on, as well as saying impossible to get vintage silk, while you know any pro can get that oldstock silk not by meters but by kilos at very low price in Como or where you and me know...
So please, don´t think we are fools and stop spamming around. I was fan of your tiemaking but enough is enough.
Curious is that Davinio and you got the same " taste " for histrionic not elegant garments as you for jackets from another age, yellow trousers, pink trousers, orange shirts etc that honestly, never seen on a serious mastertailor as any of my close friends. That is respectable, but that is my opinion about.
I put a picture of Davinio here so you can judge, he is the one on pink trousers, only two are elegant on the picture and are friends of mine, Tony, the second and the fourth, both are owners of very good tasted sartorias on Naples and Rome, the rest honestly gives me shame as the fake shirtmaker of the hat, who is not a shirtmaker but he sells himself as one while his switzerland made shirts are simply poor, but that is another story.
Finally, I doubt he chargues 120 euros for 25 pasagges as that is not the rate on Naples for the maximun passages, I guess 120 is for the minimum. And yes, a shirt can take 25 hours to made or even more ( not on semi-industrial factories of course , I myself take even more doing at home out of the factories, that is the only truth found on Gianni´s post.
And a picture of a Larrainzar 3000 euros " suit " made for an European King, Craptom says he is one of the best tailors around as well as is said on those shame blogs I mentioned. Even the lapel has two buttonholes, horrible feature for a King and what a out of pitch triple width sleeves, wrinkled everything, even the shirt by Burgos again is wrinkled. Judge yourself

Resume, I would be still fan of yours if your post got only the nice pictures but not the spamming as I said and thank you for promote Naples while you are Milanese ( but not this way please ) where I live instead of the armoured Milanese tailors , that are not of my taste
Gianni,
Where is Pirozzi located? In your post above you said Via Chiaia but I have never seen a shop there.
Thanks
I saw their website and they have their address over near Anna Matuozzo.
I don't know if I will go there to visit. I just like to know where the tailor shops are.
Io vivo fuori Napoli a Bacoli. Cercato Pirozzi la scorsa settimana, ma non riusciva a trovare il negozio.
Stavo guardando 97, non 197!
Egli deve essere vicino al Piccolo e Pizzeria Brandi.
