Hi
I'm looking for informations about sicilian tailors, in particular palermitan tailors. I searched online and in this forum but found very little. I read sleevehead's book about sicilian tailors but I was disappointed because it doesn't talk in depth about any of them.
I heard Michael Alden of the LL had jackets made from some sicilian tailors, I sent an email to him but I didn't get any reply.
does anyone have infos about tailors from Palermo?
Thank you

I believe SF member @UrbanComposition has work done by a Sicilian tailor, or was planning to. You may try to contact him.

Here's an article on Michael Alden's Sicilian Tailor program:

Hey there,

Haven't had experience yet, but a "bespoke" vacation to Sicily is in the works, partly based on Sleevehead's recommendations. From what I've seen and heard, Sicily is just like any other place, with good and mediocre sarti, only less expensive. Have fun in your search.

I think the details may be found in a London Lounge piece of 3 or 4 years ago.
Of course, may have changed if it's still under way.

I tried to register to ll more than a week ago but my account didn't get activated. I also sent an email, but got no response
