Very nice sir, I really like the clean shoulder of Ciardi

– looks like it's a bit elongated as compared to Tofani?

Btw., would you mind sharing the CMT prices for Tofani and Ciardi? Would be interesting to know.
Thanks you very much. You are right, the Ciardi's one is a bit elongated while the Tofani's is really small.

The price for Tofani is around 1600 EUR for the 2 pieces suit and Ciardi is around 1800 EUR for the 2 pieces suit.

Thanks a lot, and those are very decent prices! Almost tempted to try them out myself when I go to Naples in three weeks time, though I'm also very satisfied with my own (traveling) north Italian tailor who does CMT for 1900 euro for a suit.

Looking forward to see your update on the above projects! :)

Those prices are very reasonable indeed - do they include the cost of the cloth?

Here in Australia we have some local tailors who charge around 5000 euros for a suit, with a waiting time of one year.

As a result, the "offshore tailoring" industry has really taken off here - local fitters and stylists, overseas manufacture. Examples include P Johnson, Oscar Hunt, and B&T via The Finery Company. And even those are generally more expensive than the Neapolitan prices quoted above.

There are downsides to residing in a country with a very high standard of living.

Yes, but as usual it's depends the choice of the cloth, it can increase if you choose cashmere etc... You are perfectely right, the standard of living and also the concurrence and the price that people admit to pay for a suit is different between Italy and Australia or USA. But the average salary in Italy is around 1800 EUR and less in south Italy than in North Italy.

Wait, why is his thinking a jacket looks bad (I'm in agreement based on that pic) means for foregoing potentially using him?

I see where TM is coming from...that would rub me the wrong way. I wouldn't want to work with that type of guy. Also, if there is something wrong with that jacket, I don't see it.
