Solito & Ambrosi - Next Manhattan Visit?

[Grammaton Cleric]

Are they still accepting new customers? Assuming they are, any details on future visits would be appreciated.

No. They are not terribly communicative.

To say the very least.

Cloth I sent to Solito was returned " Non reclamato".
What is going on in Napoli?

Got in touch with them.
They are coming back to NYC in September.

This the the price one must pay in order to get the vastly superior Italian suit

I think he meant this year, but I could be wrong.

I know a tailor in England who is quite competent and fairly inexpensive. But he acts in the same way... I never know when to expect his next visit (and if next visit will happen at all). For me, this destroys a good part of bespoke process -- I don't want to fight for my clothes! In result, I decided to establish relationship with another tailor... more expensive, but presumably more reliable.

Just my $0.02 on the subject.

There is little doubt that the garments are great, but the total lack of communication is frustrating to say the least.

I'm happy to pay half the price of Rubinacci and sacrifice a little communication

Sadly, its not little but none. But, like I said, the stuff is great - Ambrosi's trousers in particular.

Interestingly enough, none other than uppercase had warned us of the total lack of communication from the Solito operation even prior to his first visit. Note to self: when uppercase talks about Napoli, listen!
