I don't know if anyone here on the forum is still using NSM, but this is what my latest commission looks like.

An interesting article at Permanent Style about Sartoria Seminara, Vittorio Salino and the Florentine school.

Might as well be wearing football pads!

I have been loving the armani style shoulderpads recently!

"Vittorio is different and has to charge a little more: €3000 for a suit and €2200 for a jacket (in Italy)."

Damn!!! If you really love that Florentine cut, it's really worth it to just buy some plane tickets and make several trips to Italy vs going to an L&L trunk show.

Seriously considering seeing F Caraceni this November (Satoki got me hooked on Milanese and I’m keen to explore another more structured option). Anyone has finished garments that they can share? The photos on PS are great, and the ones on F Caraceni’s Instagram are droolworthy, but it’s always nice to see more photos of the garments on actual customers.

Thanks in advance gents!

I repeat: maybe a trip to Italy is in the cards.

Just wait until you go to Naples haha. Although then, you have to find a local guide who can help you find a tailor.

Good thing I'm not a fan of their style of tailoring.

They may be " soft" to the feel, but they stand out prominently compared to
typical Neapolitan or Ivy shoulders. As a result, the silhouette is different.

Do you consider these shoulders "soft," "bigger/built-up," or neither?

For me, when factoring trunk shows & availability at trunk shows, I think satoki kawai at sartoria cresent is the best option if you don’t travel to Italy (or japan, for good measure).

Wouldn’t it be 3 trips to Italy?

Well I did say several so that's more than 2 but it could potentially be done in just 2.

Ah, missed that….

Once you have the pattern down, you probably only need one trip & they can send it.

Maybe you can be the first of the styleforum nerds to commission from F. Caraceni and post pictures 😎.

I did not have enough time to have anything made when I last visited in 2019. Nicolette mentioned she needed at least 3 weeks to have a fitting ready that I would be happy with. I recommend taking a long vacation and starting and ending your trip in Milan if you want a fitting.
