I only ask because I figure it might be worth checking with Salvatore about it. Are you going to have Solito make something for you?

I have been toying with the idea. If he won't take my cloth, my interest declines considerably.

I don't know what books they are bringing, but when Ambrosi came alone a few years ago, he had books from H&S, Wodehouse, and Drapers. Maybe some others that I don't remember.

I believe he is bringing a selection of ties from Capelli this time.





I also use:Flanell-velvet BOX L.T.D. , Irish Linen-Spence Bryson, Loro Piana, Durmeill,Ermenelgildo Zegna,Ecc...

Ambrosi, do you make pants with zippers or only with button flys? Will the zipper versions look inferior? Why do you choose to use buttons instead of zippers? Thanks.

I make pants with zip fasteners and buttons ..

I prefer the ones with the buttons.

the zip, is more practical, but with time it may break ..
