Just curious.
Has anyone here bought Cifonelli ready-to-wear suits/ sports coat?
Are they true to size or do one has to up one size?
I reside in Australia - no luxury of bespoke/ MTM with Cifo at this stage.
Thinking of a dive at their RTW....

Yes. It's true to size, and it's great.

FYI Cifo does come to Oz.

I think they came to Brisbane a couple of years ago but it's not that regular. Also that was only for MTM not bespoke.

PS. I am supposed to go to Cifo for second fitting and then collection of my Travel Jacket next month. I am going to tell them to wait until I come back in Sept 2018 because I have some weight to lose. It would be a shame to get it and then it doesn't fit properly.

Yes, I remember reading this. It is a shame I missed it.
I am happy to proceed with MTM if they do come again.
At the mean time, I am keen on settling on RTW if any of the big gunners could bring Cifo to Australia.

I think you can probably buy over the phone with your credit card if you call them.

I'd also like to know.

Or when Cifonelli comes to NYC. I see on their FB page they came May 6-9 and that's it.

Cifonelli apparently comes to the USA fairly frequently, at least they email me frequently enough throughout the year via their mailing list. I can't really find anything about Camps though so may have to just call...

Does anyone know if Camps de Luca comes to the USA, particularly NYC?

They made a couple of adhoc trips to NYC last year and they've said that they would like to start visiting regularly, but afaik nothing planned at the moment....
