one of the best "sartoria" of Italy

The problem I have, is the very strange combination of double-breasted and patch pockets.

Admittedly, it might have been the customer's choice, but shouldn't a caring tailor, have talked his customer out of it?

That's a recurrent debate on this forum especially when we do receive some bespoke shoe pictures...

Is it the role of the artisan to guide the customer ? Yes...
To influence and impose his diktat? No....

First ,a real artisan likes a good challenge and new concepts,designs and ideas are challenging their skills...
Also the Bespoke world ,the made to measure is a very personalized microsociety where people are paying a lot of money to see their dreams coming true...

As a customer ,you tend to be impressed at the first visit and after you have to learn how to give directions and advices....

I don't see why. DB patch can be very attractive. I probably would not get it in dark worsted, but I would get (and have gotten) it in other fabrics.

The case is as follows. The decision to use patch pockets was made together with the tailor. The fabric is pure Irish linen. Under consideration of the fabric, we want to give a sporty touch to the suit. H.

You and your tailor made a good choice.

Lapels that are 100% hand made (including padding) are a 50% extra cost option (not standard or unavailable) with all of the only three branches of Caraceni worldwide that are equally true Caraceni (Augusto/Mario in Milan, Domenico/Guilio and Tommy in Rome and Ferdinando in Milan). I know this because on all of the websites for Caraceni and on many other websites I saw pictures with 100% hand made lapels and pictures with mostly (75%) hand made lapels with some machine stitching (like in that picture from Sciamat's website above). Also, all of the many miscellaneous websites state that all three of these branches of Caraceni make the lapels mostly (75%) by hand with 100% hand made lapels a 50% extra cost option (Caraceni’s websites simply state that the 100% hand made lapels are an extra cost option).

Lapels that are 100% hand made (including padding) are a 50% extra cost option (not standard or unavailable) with Nino Corvato and Raphael Raffaelli. I know this because I saw pictures with 100% hand made lapels and pictures with mostly (75%) hand made lapels with some machine stitching (like in that picture from Sciamat's website above) on many miscellaneous websites that also all state everything in this paragraph (Corvato and Raffaelli do not have their own websites).

Short interview with Mr Ricci. http://welldressed.blogg.se/2009/feb...ino-ricci.html Interesting fact: Mr Ricci is an attorney and in 2002 he opened a Sartoria. He learned how to cut bespoke on his own without learning as an apprentice at a tailor. His story is quite peculiar if not unique in the world.

Yes, but everything is exclusively done by the employees that are in house or on the premises.

Absolutely nothing is farmed out to be done by anybody anywhere off the premises or out of house (nada, zero, zilch).

In fact, all of the above is the case (it always has been and it always will be, that will never change) with all custom accessory, clothing and footwear makers throughout Italy (including Campagna and all branches of Caraceni).
