Fortunately, I can get a bespoke lounge suit for less than the full retail price of a RTW Canali

Now that sounds interesting. Sorry if you've been asked this before or it is general knowledge but where do you get your bespoke suits?

Adamo Marrone
Norton Street
Leichhardt
Sydney
Australia
(612) 9569 6419

I have seen photos of some often beautiful work from bespoke tailors from all around the world and all they do is cure my of any desire to travel for a bespoke suit. The Australian dollar is worth a lot less than a Euro, Pound or US dollar, so it works out a lot more economical than Naples, London or New York.

There is another Italian bespoke tailor in town, Sam Disano, who also makes a lovely suit for just a bit less than Adamo:

Horwood Pl Car Park Station Shop 3,
Parramatta 2150
Sydney
(612) 9689 1070

However, he machine stitches the canvass whereas Adamo does it by hand. Just recently an old Canadian customer dropped in and ordered something like a dozen suits and a couple of overcoats from Sam. Apparently a couple of members of the family order from him when they come here on business.
