Received two orders recently and was pleasantly surprised to see the new Gennaro & Andrea garment bags and labels.

It could be the angle.

Some of the pictures posted directly above make the suit look very pear-shaped.


The chest on these fittings seem to relatively lean and clean, although Sig. Paone's own jackets seem to have some drape. Are my eyes deceiving me that there is a difference or did you guys ask for a leaner chest?

I'm definitely open to the idea that it's just the pics or just me...but looking at the line that the chest follows in this pic, it seems to me to be fairly lean:



compared to what I can see here (on the tailor, not the client):

It doesn't look that lean to me, unbel. There's also some extra fullness at the back. The basted pics show the extra chest room in a more evident way, but to be fair I'm not sure how much of that remains in the final jacket...

Funny. I was asking myself where SartodiNapoli was.

Ignoring the troll, the photos of the finished garments are, unfortunately, poor to judge anything. Thank you for posting them, anyways.

About the silhouette, it's nothing new to see different silhouettes for different clients from the same sartoria (yes, within a limit and the sartoria's style). Maomao's LH garments are very striking in that sense, nothing like what we see from Mariano or Gennaro.

Frankly, the first suit fits quite badly, and pants are disastrous..Maybe your weight changed between the finish of the suits and the fitting but it's quite bad. The last unfinished jacket seems nice.

To be fair, it looks like the trousers are still to be hemmed / cuffed.

I sort of do get why people don't bother posting pics of themselves...
Some people seem to be hypercritical of anything that's not the Duke of Windsor.
