Salvatore Argenio Napoli

[NewYorkIslander]

Any of the well travelled members here familiar with the work of this firm? I was turned onto them because of their unapologetic appreciation for Bourbon rule which the South (and families like mine) thrived under before the Protestant takeover and then "unification" of 1861.

Manton wrote about that store in the spoils of Napoli thread but called it "argento". I posted a note in that thread. I visited the store last month.

I've been at the Argenio store in Napoli. It has a great selection of British cloth. They offer tailoring services. I could not really understand whether it was MTM or bespoke, but they required at least one fitting. I do not remember their pricing on tailoring. Maybe a little bit cheaper than NSM. RTW garments were about 800-1000 EUR for jackets and suits.

Argenio also offers cashmere goods. Both RTW and MTM. It takes two weeks to make an order. I bought a long knee-length cashmere cardigan for my wife over there. and it is very nice.
