    Tailor near Philadelphia & Suburbs- For Overcoat

    Centofanti can make a wonderful overcoat. I have continued to use them since Joe died and they are doing excellent work although my pattern was cut when Joe was still alive. Nevertheless I have had some significant alterations to my suits and the results have been outstanding. Lou (Luigi) has...

    Has JM Weston abandoned the US?

    JM Weston closed their only US branch over the summer but originally said that it was only a move and that another store would open later this year on Madison Avenue. There is a space on Madison that it supposed to be JM Weston but it has not opened. The website no longer lists a New York...

    Question about Camel hair for bespoke polo coat

    I am interested in having a polo coat made from Camel hair and have looked at a number of books including Harrison's and W. Bill. I have found some beautiful fabrics in 100% camel hair but I am concerned about how 100% camel hair will wear. Some have suggested that a blend of 50% wool and 50%...

    Why my tailor (Centofanti) is the best...

    If he is contracting out much work, I'd be surprised. I know that many tailors do contract out some pants work, but I do not know about whether this happens at Centofanti and I have never directly inquired. I also know that the woman who does his buttonholes is outside of the shop. I will say...

    Why my tailor (Centofanti) is the best...

    As a lucky client of Centofanti, I have to agree with everything noted above. Joe is a genuine craftsman and in other cultures, he would be considered a national treasure. Over his 90+ years, he has hone his tailoring skills and makes a beautiful suit. I am always warmly welcomed and because...

    Shoe experts sizing of RL Crockett and Jones?

    I have a pair of RL Benton on the C&J 337 last that fit extremely well. They are marked 11 1/2 D. I suspect that this is US sizing but was wondering if anyone can confirm this? Also is the Polo "D" an C&J "E" or do they actually get them in "D" a la the polo EG's? Thanks for any insights...

    I am left handed and generally wear right handed watches due to the paucity of left-handed watches. I do however own a left handed Cartier Tank Americaine. It was a limited edition of 5 made back in the early 2000's and is one of my favorites. Cartier has made several other limited edition...

    RLPL D width versus EG E

    The ralph lauren 888D is the same as the EG D. It is definitely narrower than an EG E. There is a difference. That being said. the EG 888 D does tend to stretch when worn so you may find that with time the shoe becomes comfortable. I have found that I am more comfortable in an E width in the 888...

    Questions about RLPL EG's

    During the sales, out of the the dozen or so RLPL/EG I have ordered, I have received two or three pairs that were missing the shoetrees. At the prices I got the shoes, I did not care and just bought shoetrees over Ebay courtesy of grapevinehill. If I paid full price, I would definitely bring it...

    EG for RLPL Beretto Monkstrap

    If you search barretto, you'll find some additional posts on this subject. I too bought them sight unseen and was thrilled when they arrived. They are a plain toe monk strap with a slightly wider strap and a somewhat "pointy" design to the quarters. My are in burnt pine on the 89 lasts. Not...

    Polo Edward Green Shoes size 11.5 heads up

    Hello all, During the recent sale, I purchased several EG/Polo shoes size 11.5 via telephone from the Mansion. I returned 3 pairs today to the Philadelphia store (although they told me they were shipping them back to NYC as they do not carry purple label shoes). I thought other size 11.5 might...

    RLPL Barretto

    Is anyone familiar with a RLPL shoe model called the Barretto? A salesman at the Mansion mentioned it to me on the telephone as a RLPL shoe and it is priced the same as the other EG models so I am assuming it is an EG Polo model. I'd be very interested in a picture or description. Thanks, Daniel
