Why is this funny?Originally Posted by Panzeraxe II
Whenever I meet my tailor, I just point to a few AA illustrations I bring with me, give him a thumbs up (sometimes a high-five) and leave

Don't know if anyone cares, but after a bit of research here is what I have found:
- Rubinacci is, by far, the most receptive to dealing with English speaking customers.
- Panico is quite often recommended, but unfortunately neither he (nor anyone on his staff) speaks English. The same with Mazzuocolo (English is spoken at his Munich location though)
- Pirozzi, Sabino, Formosa, Ettore de Cesare and Solito all either speak English, or have people around who can translate.
- Typical suit prices (excl. Rubinacci) are between 1,500 - 1,800 euros. Surprisingly, overcoats are always 15-20% more (NY and London tailors charge the same price for overcoats and suits)
- Most tailors are willing to do CMT for visiting clients to expediate the process, and can accomodate measurements and 2 fittings within a 2 week timeframe

And how much more expensive was Rubinacci?
