The Unofficial Sartoria Pastena Elegance Naples Thread

[heldentenor]

Belated post to document my entry into the Pastena fraternity, with a Mockleno lighter-than-navy blazer:

I think I'll let the waist out a bit (Antonio agrees), but I like having a true neapolitan silhouette since the rest of my stuff has more drape.

Next commission is something either mid-brown or honey brown for spring/summer. Thoughts on these as options? I was leaning Montrose Bay but the ever persuasive @Jmr928 suggested Maison Hellard, which caught my eye and refused to let go.

On the way. Harris Tweed from Hardy Minnis.

Had a chance to stop by home and grab a couple pics today before mass. Really enjoying this heritage twist.

Do you mind sharing the code for this cloth? I am considering a grey wool suit and want something similar to this.

Yeah let me find it. There are two shades of it in the Heritage Twist bunch 15015 and 15016. This is the lighter one, 15015. Photo is pretty color accurate

Certainly one your best suits from Antonio.

This is the #15038 from that bunch. It’s a bit darker than the medium greys, and has a really subtle rust check in it.

It seems like it’s going to be pretty breathable as well, as it’s a hopsack.

I would definitely not count on anything in that bunch to breathe.

Definitely not like a high twist, but it’s actually fairly porous compared to the others.

On the steam bench. I was looking after a brown casual tweed with reddish tones. I think I didn't miss it.

Price varies so much depending on your needs.
I'd suggest reaching out to him directly on IG/Whatsapp and the likes. He's very active and responds promptly, too.

Last time I checked starting prices were roughly: Jackets €1400, Suits €1600, and Trousers €450. Mind you the prices only go up from there depending on cloth selection and other factors.
