I think they do MTM for Canali. They carry Drake's shirts and ties but seem really low on inventory. They also have ETON but only the casual ones and no formal dress shirts.
I think their MTM is Samuelsohn or at least it was years ago. they also have Breuer and Seaward and Stern ties if I remember right.

I used to get Canali at Barneys. I still haven't been into their small shop at City Center yet. I always hit Sky Valet and Paul Stuart, though.

Been there many times when I lived in Reston. David (the son of the owner) is very helpful and they have an interesting selection of items. I can definitely recommend them.

Is it :spam: if I ask you guys if there's interest in a DC trunk show for our custom offerings (I would bring our MTM fit kit and Inglese sizes and swatch books)? Maybe also Rota sizes and swatch books if there's interest

I'd be up for a DC trunk show as long you promise not to punch me in the face for my past mistake. But I'd do a MTM G.Inglese. Rota trousers off the rack fit me perfectly so I got nothing to complain about. But I would ask this in NMWA thread as well just in case there are DC folks who don't know about this thread.

I would be very very interested. Looking to get measured for Rota MTM, possibly Inglese, and do another Carrera piece!

Do I still need a disguise folks?! I wonder if I can have THE NOODLES account back. But I'd show up for a G. Inglese MTM. And sorry again, Greg.

I'm interested in the NMWA x Sartoria Carrara fit for a sport coat. I have 3m of @dieworkwear 's fabric to make up. Need to try a jacket on and see how it fits on me. Would definitely make an appointment!

Amusingly, I jogged right past you years ago in DC. I think you were doing a Formosa trunk show and you and their guy (Gennaro?) were walking close to the White House. This was well before I could afford the tailoring and I had a great pace going and didn't stop... ?
