    Riccardo Bestetti Bespoke projects.

    what is undeniable is the tragedy of losing 2 talented makers, Sgr Bemer and Sgr Bestetti in a short period of time.

    Rome and Naples: Any Shirtmaker/Tailor Advice, Please....?

    Marco, in Napoli I met with and have worked with both D'ambrosio and Vittoria Fluido. Both make shirts that in my opinion are superior to Sabatini. I found both to be more user friendly as well.

    Rome and Naples: Any Shirtmaker/Tailor Advice, Please....?

    I visited Sabatini and had shirts made there. I also visited Naples on the same trip. There is no comparison on the quality with the Naples shirts being much better. Costs were comparable as I supplied my own cloth. A warning Sabatini speaks no English and more importantly does not take Amex.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    i visited them in rome and to say they are fairly large is a great exaggeration. Nobody speaks english and they are expensive. Nice collection though.

    Custom made suits in Toronto?

    if classic conjures up those images to you I would say that is an issue with you not the tailor. Any good tailor should be able to make anything you want. I found him through one of the cloth houses, not sure which one. He has made me several suits. Michael is a grat guy who takes pride in his...

    Custom made suits in Toronto?

    Guys, it's somewhat comical reading some of what passes for custom on some of these posts. My idea of custom is that the suit is made on premises from a pattern made for you. I do allow that pants may be sent out. Given this criteria you eliminate many of the names that pop up. The one person I...

    Folded Up Shirt Appreciation

    I must admit the martinez boys in LA have very good taste. I have seen photos of their work and have always been impressed.

    Kiton Buys Carlo Barbera

    Backward integration can be difficult to execute. Kiton alone will not keep the looms running. Do you think OXXford will be keen to support a competitor. The winners here will be the top english mills and perhaps Tallia del fino .

The thing that pisses me off and i rarely post is that you are a man of a million questions about sources. Maybe you just prefer to operate via the pm mode. Very secretive. chump. By...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    if your not a fan of the mystery bs than don't perpetuate it. GR has an agent in the US by the name of Giuseppe Torre. I will post his # later. Chump post ET. By the way in my book G&R is not that high on the list of top shirting producers.

    Current opinions on Dege/Whittaker bespoke shirts

    I couldn't disagree more with your statements about BoLine. I also find is bs that you would make that kind of a statement without any direct experience.

    Are Savile row suits entirely made on site?

    it's on comcast pay per view. The book was a difficult read to follow. Lots of moving parts. The auction process at which subcontracting work of the highest level haute couture was awarded was bizarre. A real life reverse auction process. I found the dumpinng of toxic wastes disturbing and it...
