    E.G. Cappelli Store now LIVE!

     Good question. I think so but I'm not sure, as I live in the EU I didn't ask them...

    E.G. Cappelli Store now LIVE!

    Here is another one which was brought from Napoli by a friend. You can see the difference between a lined 6 folds (this one) and unlined 7 folds (previous picture)

    E.G. Cappelli Store now LIVE!

    Here's a couple of pictures of my last Cappelli tie: Also got it from Zampa di Gallina (which apparently offered a 30% discount on EG Cappelli this weekend: )

    Mario Talarico Umbrellas

     No, but you can try via other websites, like Exquisite trimmings, or ZampaDiGallina (currently having sales on talarico umbrellas)

    French Tailoring Thread (e.g. Camps de Luca, Cifonelli, Smalto and etc.)

     Probably that, I think French tailoring is also in the shadow of its feminine counterpart, the Haute Couture. Besides I don't think there are mega-famous French brands that could be "ambassadors" of French style (like RL for the US, Armani for Italy, etc.)... However, French tailoring, and...

    I don't have it right now, I'll check when possible. I think the stripes are 1mm wide and spaced by a little less than 1cm. Ahem, I've been modestly trying (mostly with bad smartphone pictures) :embar: But yes that's the interest of this thread, French tailors don't really communicate online...

    Sounds impressive indeed! I would love to see that, because I am not a fan of some of his lapels (from what I saw on his facebook page).

    Mafoofan, I don't believe the fishmouth lapel is part of the current Cifonelli signature. I started a thread about her a few months ago : http://www.styleforum.net/t/300803/la-camicia-con-lanima-mary-frittolini-bespoke-shirts

     Hi Dirnelli, I believe it is actually called a fishmouth lapel ;) You can see many variations of this kind of lapel here, from C to H (french text, sorry): http://stiff-collar.com/2012/05/28/les-revers-parisiens/

    Actually, I believe that "kissing" buttons means overlapping buttons, and it is rather a style choice than a sign of quality.

    The Thread for Discussing Bespeaking Bespoke Shoes

    These balmorals look great Mafoofan! And I don't find the inside seam disturbing, I think it's a common thing (but not as common as a back seam). If I remember well, he asked me whether I preferred to have the seam on the inside or the back (refused to make it seamless), and I chose the back...

    The Ultimate "HARDCORE" Shoe Appreciation Thread (Bespoke only)

    Yes, I'm curious too. Why do you think the Lobbs look "more bespoke" than the Cleverleys?

    Thanks for your answer! I see what you mean.
