Un-official Luca Avitabile Napoli Shirt Thread
Got a tracking number, looks like my order will arrive next week, so it is getting delivered, but 15 months feels like an unsatisfyingly long time- dawei94

Un-official Luca Avitabile Napoli Shirt Thread
As an update, Francesca emailed me saying the polos would be ready for the NY trunk show next week. I'm not in NYC so I asked that it be mailed directly to me, and hopefully that means that I will be wearing them this summer- dawei94

Un-official Luca Avitabile Napoli Shirt Thread
It's probably an oversight by the factory that he works with but even then, I think if someone is working with a factory it's on them and not their customer to make sure orders are moving along. Plus it's one thing to not be able to deliver a product in a timely manner, I'm quite used to delays...- dawei94

Met in NYC for the initial measurements in March 2023, fitting meeting in NYC cancelled when he left a day early in May 2023, make up fitting in late July 2023 in Naples, emailed a number of times including twice in the last 2 months, inconsistent response rate and no responses to the most...- dawei94

The Armoury - Official Affiliate Thread
Can anyone speak to the pros / cons of getting the polos from Ascot Chang directly (let's say from the NYC store) vs from the Armoury, especially if I got an MTM / bespoke one? I'm not sure if the Armoury offers bespoke or only MTM, but the Armoury seems to offer more fabrics (not sure if...- dawei94

Talking stocks, trading, and investing in general
Does anyone know the cheapest and best way for an American to invest in individual stocks that are listed on overseas stock markets and do not have an American ADR?

French Tailoring Thread (e.g. Camps de Luca, Cifonelli, Smalto and etc.)
Yeah I was originally hoping to fly out Friday morning and do the first fitting Tuesday morning, which would have eliminated the rushed airport-atelier and vice versa trips, but the wedding added an event on Friday morning after the initial invite was sent out. Had I known ahead of time, I would...- dawei94

French Tailoring Thread (e.g. Camps de Luca, Cifonelli, Smalto and etc.)
Excuse the atrocious lighting, this was the best I could do right before the wedding. For this order, I went with 3 piece peak lapel dinner jacket with midnight blue Smiths wool / mohair (the 71/29 one with super kid mohair, which was a consensus fabric in the Black Tie thread, by a number of...- dawei94

French Tailoring Thread (e.g. Camps de Luca, Cifonelli, Smalto and etc.)
More fulsome post to come later, but I just picked up a 3-pc peak lapel dinner suit from Cifonelli (pic of Alex @ Cifonelli presenting it to me attached). The Cifonelli team was particularly gracious in working with my fairly rushed schedule, as I was informed that a wedding I am attending...- dawei94

Un-official Luca Avitabile Napoli Shirt Thread
Sorry I meant the turnaround time from the last fitting to be precise. It feels a bit strange to me that it’s been 7 months since the fitting (and I believe just one is required for the polos) and for them to still not be completed, but wasn’t sure if he was particularly busy or something- dawei94

Does anyone know LA's current backlog? I originally went to an NY trunkshow in March, was supposed to go to a follow-up trunk show in June for a fitting but that one got cancelled, and then I met him in Naples in late July. I pinged him in September / October asking if there was an ETA but...- dawei94

Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?
Got it, makes sense. In neither particularly rugged or luxurious is what I'm going for as well. I agree that the character depends more on the things that you noted, but what I've seen (at least among those other makers, this may be different for other makers) is that they pick styles...- dawei94
