This thread is more likely to live on due to the throngs of new Tubo fanatics it will invariably spurn.

were you able to successfully contact tardini?

details of how you plan to re-acquire a tubo?

I'd never seen or heard of a tubo until this thread, now I'm anxious to see one.

You can probably find a calfskin Tubo in New York if you look around. Bergdorf, Saks, and Jay Kos each carried Longhi at one point and may still.

^^^ It's an awesome belt. I have a black pebblegrain calfskin Tubo like one of those.

In the 10 minutes it took me to go through this thread, I have evolved from confusion, horror, skepticism, understanding, and now agreement.

Thank you. Tubo

Call wilkes bashford in San fran AND palo alto. Was just at the SF store this past weekend and they have lots of Longhi belts in calf and croc. Didn't see this thread until today so didn't look for the tubo style, but I'd give them a check.
