maybe you should move to naples , ca and double your prices. silly, really. by the way i admire your work. you should check out the best young shirtmaker in america, arthur from boline in Boston. major talent that needs some direction to see that shirt making on its own can be a viable business.

B: why are you assuming this is intended as an infomercial? Not sure that was the intention, although it may have ended up like that because of the questions posed.

check our gianni's blog. it seems very much like crompton's. i prefer reviews from people who actually pay for their goods and have no commercial relationship with the maker.

Thank you for your feedback. Really.

Thank you for seeing my blog. But if you say that I do not pay my things offend me a lot. This is because everything that I wear I pay as a regular customer. I am neither a profiteer and it is one that takes advantage of small artisans.

Also because I work more than 10 hours a day and frankly some satisfaction I take it off, thanks to my hard work.

Gianni, i am starting to get frustrated with your infomercial threads. i agree with Freddy. No shirt takes 30 hours and 250 euros is very steep. in addition although we all know sir pirozzi is a maker of the highest caliber what is the point of shilling him on style forum. At his age and given his strong local trade there is no possibility for him to visit the readers that you are pumping him to. you are beginning to remind me of simon crompton.


Besponkenfor,
how much do you pay for your shirts? I have never seen a D'Avino shirt before, besides the pictures posted here, but if you can get a shirt made with Riva's fabric for 250 euro it sounds like a good deal to me

The tailors that Gianni is supposedly shilling are not doing a trunk show, nor taking orders online, so what would they gain by compensating GC for his good deeds? You are just being ridiculous.

But this thread is independent from his blog; think you're reading too much into all of this. He just put up an entertaining and insightful thread about a craftsman, just like many others do around here. He may be using a lot of superlatives, but that may just be his style - and perhaps because English is not his first language - but once you get past that, it's pretty entertaining.

Thank you for your message. It makes me really happy. I use superlatives because it's not my style. But mostly what I use superlatives because I realize I love so much. And for me everything that is bespoke made in a serious way life is. I live for this. In fact, it is my passion that moves me in my daily work. And it's not the money.

And then my blog will be a life that does not update anymore.

I agree with others - Gianni's thread is hardly an informmercial, and I enjoy reading about these makers.

Keep at it, Gianni!

Thank you very much for your comment very important to me.

And you have no idea how many dresses and shirts are to offer me free. But paying I want to be free to go wherever I want and where I think it works best

And look how D'Avino care details. In this case I photographed the construction of the port cues in the neck.

There is nothing done to the car. Before marking with a pencil where do the stitching and then sew with the embroidery thread.
