Not very helpful ZegnaGent.
You can assume that I had already done some research, including a reasonably thorough search of the site and that I was trying to get some more information. Where in the site is there a word about Sam Finocchiaro? Where is there a comprehensive discussion of the type of instructions one might give to a tailor? Where is a there discussion of the relative merits of Sydney tailors and a comparison of prices (there is some, but you have to look long and hard to find it and there are only some clues that might enable comparison)?
Why are you trying to stomp on this?
Wow... I've seen this exact thing happen to others on the forum, but I never thought you could get flamed for offering help.
Firstly, if you feel that I was patronising, may I offer my sincere apologies.
Secondly, I never assume anything. I thought I was being helpful. Apparently, I was wrong.
Thirdly, when I wanted to know about 'bespoke suits', I found that the information on the thread (including PMs to Sator) was quite sufficient for initiating a physical search of the tailors in question. To date, I have met with Adamo, Sam Disano, and even had a suit tailored by a gent named Nick Salanitro in North Sydney.
Fourthly, I mentioned Sator because he is a) extremely knowledgeable on this subject, and b) would definitely point you in the right direction. In terms of Sydney tailors, he's probably the authority on this forum.
Fifth point: My personal experience with bespoke has led me to believe that until you try a tailor out, you cannot know whether or not he will do a good job for you.
I wasn't trying to stomp on your thread. If I were, I would not even have mentioned half the things I did. Instead, I would merely have kept silent.
A good day to you, sir!
