Howdy yall. I need help identifying bespoke suit makers whether in Italy or London.

I Left Park Ave Finance almost 3 year ago, went to big tech, started working from home and moved to Dallas!! Now, I am in sweat pants or shorts every day of my life. However, Dallas is extremely image conscious and I have always been into fancy clothes, so this year I want to buy a few extremely high quality pieces (e.g. bespoke suits and Northhampton shoes).

I am looking for 2 suits with somewhat different cuts. I need help in identifying the best tailors for each of these styles. Is there a single tailor i shoudl try for both? 2 seperate tailors? I will travel to london / italy for up to 90 days.


Me
  • 6' 0" 170 pounds
  • Broad Shoulders
  • Larger in rear and hips (slimming here would be great)
  • Complete lack of muscles in upper body (probably need to work out)
  • 6k max per suit

Suit 1
  • Similar to a Canali RTW (fairly traditional suit)
  • Softer Shoulder than english (but still some padding)
  • Roping on shoulder
  • 2 Button
  • Medium length jacket
  • "Flashier Blue Fabric" Similar to the color below (maybe even slightly brighter)
MK01226_BLUE


Suit 2
  • English Drape
  • Wilder Fabric (e.g. pinstripe or something)
  • Maybe Double Breasted
  • Something similar to more structured RLPL suits

Sartoria Vestrucci for the Canali type cut:



Gieves & Hawkes (assuming Davide Taub is still there):


or Chittelborough & Morgan


for the British Dandy suit.

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
