    Interest check: Roberto Ugolini trunk show in NYC this January.

    I'd be interested as well, especially if prices were close to the same as in his Florence shop.

    The OneShirt: A Phoenix from the Ashes [4/24/13 UPDATE: A SHIRTMAKER, AN ENGLISHMAN, CHAMBRAY, AND F

    Have you tried Bonfanti's chambray? I prefer it to both sorts of SG chambray, because I prefer the slightly greyer blue. They are done on full metre width looms, but in hand and durability, I can't spot a difference with the SG half metre sort. Its just as "fuzzy" too.

    Atelier Musella Dembech - Master Tailor in Milano, Italy - official affiliate thread

    Excellent, in that case I also very much look forward to your visit to NYC. I prefer the Milanese cut to any other, but unlike tailors from Naples and England, they don't seem to travel here, so your presence in NY will be quite appreciated I'd think. If you don't mind, could you also send me...

    ***Official Franco Ercoles Bespoke Thread (Brooklyn/Manhattan)***

    I'm considering using Ercole for the first time, I like a lot of the photos of his work on this thread. I've read about the amount of visible handwork he uses, so am I correct in assuming he also pads the chest, lapels, and collar by hand as well? Thanks.

    Sole Welting

    Ha! Wasn't my intention. So not a definite answer, then?

    Sole Welting

    I know that hand welting is more durable than goodyear machine welting, but what are the aesthetic differences between the two? Thank you!

    Bespoke Quality Alterations in NYC

    I just really prefer grosgrain facings, the satin is just too shiny for me.

    Bespoke Quality Alterations in NYC

    I've got a dinner suit from Attolini RTW that's a few years old, but fits perfectly and is made of a Smith's mohair/wool barathea, and has a really shocking amount of hand work in it (buttonholes, facings, lining etc). However, I made the mistake of choosing a DJ with satin facings (blame it on...

    A view on Neapolitan shirtmakers and hand finishes

    Thank you that's what I was hoping! I think I will then be making a stop on 32nd st. next week.

    A view on Neapolitan shirtmakers and hand finishes

    I currently get shirts made through a quite stubborn English shirtmaker who either refuses to or can't make a soft shirt. I am considering switching to Geneva. They look great in photos and the general consensus seems to be they're easy to work with and are just as good looking in real life...
