I pretty much love that, Clags.

That's great, Unbel. Formosa delivery from recent visit?

Thanks Morals. It's Elia Caliendo.


Nice. I thought the quarters looked a little different, but couldn't tell if it had the darts extended. The tiny lapel buttonhole made me think it might be. Looks great.

Long front dart is virtually ubiquitous in Neapolitan bespoke, and the smaller buttonhole in the lapel is also pretty common. Neither feature would really identify Formosa but rather Neapolitan tailoring generally.


Yep yep. I remember the stuff they did for Simon at PS....it looked great. Your first with them?

Yes, and likely only. Not because it's not great, but more because it's a price level above most other places in Naples. The craftsmanship of the jacket is stellar. I like the silhouette, but maybe not as much as some others. More discussion about all the stuff I've got from Naples is coming up in a future StyFo article though.

Looking forward to it. :slayer:
