Eidos Napoli

[gdl203]

It's not the same suit! It's the cord suit from the previous season.

Interesting... We didn't have a tan cord suit last season? We have one coming for FW17 though

Is the description of this jacket at saks correct?

It says it is wool and has a back vent, but to me it looks like the slub linen/cotton Augusto:

Same or not? @NickPollica

Its the exact same jacket. Sak's ecom is a disaster.

But I sampled one! That is the stone cord you bought for trousers. I have the American jacket sample in my closet and we gave the trousers to Hooman Majd for helping us with the shoot.

How did that happen?

The seller has some hookup for Isaia samples and one-offs, I guess. Great guy, ships tracked & insured ASAP. I have this at the tailor right now, thanks to him:

Anyone knows where to find online the eidos strap or Belgian loafer in brown chocolate (size 6 or 6.5)?

Just seen them in charcoal color on Malborg Ecom, but not really convinced about the color

good luck finding them again, Christian Kimber might remake it..

Naples isn't really a hassle to get to - it is effectively the Southern terminus for Italy's north-south high speed rail. Well, I think there may be one more southern spur, but a ton of trains go to it. I used it to do days trips to Capri and Pompeii as I didn't have a ton of time to research Naples as my original plans didn't involve going that far south. Buy an umbrella at Talarico

You should send Christian a note. We no longer work with him but he has rebranded this style the Portofino and continues to sell it, so you may be able to have him make them in suede.

I want so bad to like Napoli lol. We had some bad experiences there. I've been told they have one of the best archaeological museums, actually—maybe that'll be my reason to give it another shot. Or maybe I need someone to just show me around haha. Toughest thing is getting around as a tourist without a car—buses are lame, there is limited underground infrastructure, it's too big to walk unlike Florence, and taxis are a racket. But if you're a traveler who isn't really bothered by those annoyances, probably worth going to, even just to eat some pizza!

Did you ever get this Jacket? I have seriously never received so many random compliments than on this jacket. On the street, in stores, male, female, black, white, young old. It's such an awesome jacket.

killer. i actually had in mind to wear it with a striped breton if i had held onto it—i was somewaht inspired by the Ischia collection, I think, where zeph was wearing a tan or olive breton with that sweet DB Ciro navy boucle with black shantung facing lapels tuxedo jacket. i tried the white jacket with a regular navy breton and it was great.

I'm saying. One of my favorite fabrics ever and a major let down at retail. I still can't figure it out.

Careful, I was nearly crucified by the SF rules committee for suggesting a dinner jacket could be worn in such a way.
