well i just went with a 2 piece, do they normally come with high armholes or do you have to specify, ill be going back tomorrow to make a downpayment. Btw i saw your jacket and she said something about you asking for the original splla camica or something? it was pretty interesting actually she said that style was from the 40s

Mina's turn around is quite good for a traveling tailor. Got my first fitting a little over a month after I placed the order. P.S. This is not a foothreak because you changed your mind.

looks like Arny's, but then probably Sciamat's own tie.

I wouldn't say anything about the armholes, they'll be fine.

It's actually "dagli anni cinquanta" - from the 50's. Either way it's a neat variation.

Tyrolean pants, in effect?

Probably Dolcepunta. Construction wise the Marinella 10/11 folds I have look quite sloppy compared to their ties.

No, the oranges were too bright. I found a nice rust orange at FIH, however.

I will say that she brought a new Cappelli collection, nearly all silks I had not seen before, and they are spectacular. Seriously, some of the best ties I have ever seen.

..

so do you go to the same costume parties?

BTW, if my vest ends up looking like the Italian vests in this thread, it's going to Goodwill.

Vasilis and I say they can.

For posterity/archival purposes: These pics are Sciamat.

I picked up a rust colored Marinella from FIH recently. A nice alternative to a bright orange one I got from Will.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of Mina's work that you and others are getting. Since I live in Wisconsin, NY is too inconvenient but I am thinking of taking a 1 or 2 week trip to Napoli with the family next year and having a suit made when I am there. Is is reasonable to expect to get all the fittings for a suit done over a week plus?

Cheers,

Rob

I don't understand how you guys are able to make use of orange ties.

The picture you always post of the sainted Mariano shows an orange tie.
