First Savile Row Bespoke Suit - Which Tailor?

[JohnMRobie]

Any of those that you'd prefer especially? If so why?

I use a different Neapolitan tailor who doesn’t travel to London so I can’t speak to them. Although my tailor is ex-Ciardi.

Dalcuore and Tofani seem to have a more modern Neapolitan house style although I believe @brax has mentioned Tofani is pretty flexible, Ciardi and Panico a little more classic. Would check their work and see if there’s a style that jumps out at you. Ciro Zizolfi also travels to London and is typically very highly regarded.

Appreciate the help. As to your question, I just like Attolini because I am familiar with them and feel the RTW stuff is tremendous (got engagement photos taken in one of their DBs). I wasn't familiar with any of these others at least in my neck of the woods in the States. Obviously that could now change in London!

Attolini makes good RTW stuff but if it were my money and I were going for bespoke I’d go to someone who does bespoke.

On a somewhat separate note, I was wondering if Cesare Attolini does any bespoke out of London? If they travel here or anything?

I have two RTW suits from them which are the finest, best fitting suits I have worn (after basic alterations). Figured on this basis I shouldn't just limit myself to the English tailors if I can find Attolini here in London as well.

They do bespoke. No London shop from what I see own their website.

Yeah, I submitted a form awhile back but no response... was wondering if they visit so I could try to catch them in-person. Thanks.

Tofani is Neapolitan but trained, in part, in Tuscany. So he is familiar and comfortable with some Florentine pieces, e.g., he has made two Casentino coats for me. But he won’t deviate much from what he knows. For example, we have used three different shoulder treatments for different commissions. But when I enquired about an extended shoulder, he counseled against it based on his comfort level with the project.
