Handmade Bespoke Shirts-Who Makes 'Em?

None of them make a shirt totally by hand. No maker does, to the best of my knowledge. A few of the Italians offer significant handwork. Naples is the best place to go if you want a lot of it.

Of the ones you list, 4, 5, and 6 use a lot of handwork. But not the most.

You've forgotten Loucostello on Piazza Negrila. Blows the rest away. A true artisan.

Knize is the most beautiful store in which I have been.

My only hands on experience is with Rubinacci and while he makes a lovely shrt, there is not a lot of handsewing in it.

Of the group, I think that I like Charvet the best for dress shirts.

Loucostello will be opening a boutique in Toronto sometime soon.

Off-topic - but this is a grammatical error that really bothers me.

"None" is singular and takes a singular verb (e.g. "None of them makes a shirt totally by hand.").

The same goes for "each," which nobody seems to use correctly (e.g. "Each of my shoes is a work of art"). "Each," and not "shoes," is the subject of this sentance.

The same goes for "number." This is probably the most commonly offending word of all of them. People say, "There are a number of reasons for this." It should be "There's a number of reasons" - "a number" is singular. "Of reasons" is merely a prepositional phrase modifying "number." It does not, in any way, affect the verb that should be used.

I know this. Sometimes, typing fast on the Internet, we make mistakes.

Not any more. Not for a long time. And even then, never totally by hand.

Manton was correct.
