Hey do you guys go out to Naples to get measured up for you suits, or do you meet with Rubinacci here in NYC? I ask because Luca is coming here in the end of January and I was thinking of setting up an appointment with him. Do you get measured up by Mariano or Luca?

They both travel a lot between the flagships (London, Milan, Naples). Mr. L. Rubinacci is based in Milan and Mr. M. Rubinacci in Naples. If possible, they will also travel to where their clients need their services.

Easiest way to make an appointment is to e-mail: [email protected]

Both. Sort of. Hope that's clear.

It's not easy to sort through, though.

The main advantage to visiting Naples is being measured and fitted with your cutter.

Measured by Mariano, then fitted by tailor in Napoli.

I've seen them side by side recently, and Luca Rubinacci is much larger (in height) than Rubinacci Sen.

taking a trip to Napoli would be wise; at least for the fittings.
