So I'm heading off for Naples and Rome with my family, and I've been searching naples threads, and have found some stuff, but basically I'm not exactly flush at the moment, but would feel terrible if I didn't come back with some stuff. When I was 17 in Rome, I got a few shirts made for 20-30 Euros at a hole in the wall seamstress shop, but the place was gone last time I was there. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for relatively inexpensive clothing (not necessarily 20 euros cheap, but Borrelli or Finamore are way, way, way out of my range).

I'm looking for just about anything. Any custom shirts in either city. I'd also be looking for ties. I know Peluso shoes is in Florence, but anything similar in Rome or Naples would be good. Suits seem like a real longshot, but if there is anything like a Borrelli or some other factory shop (I know, unlikely), I'd be thrilled to know.

I'm going to keep reading through the threads, but if anyone knows of any reasonable shops or makers in Rome or Naples, please do let me know.

Giving this a bump for my fratello who is jetsetting while I have to stay here and work like a dog. He's dying for some info I can send him. Please help a mostly underdressed, recently employed new college graduate find his sartorial footing, somewhat frugally, in italy?
