Many thanks Manton. I don't have the benefit of having seen many of FNB's posts here, but if that's sufficient reason to be banned, I am surprised some others are still here.

Oh, and finally, there are lots of Naples legends about tailors in the Spanish Quarter who will make you a suit for half or less what Solito charges (which is already half or less than Rubinacci) and will do an even better job. I have no idea if this is true. I saw zero tailor shops in the Spanish quarter. If they are there, they are all in the apartments (there aren't any courtyards because there aren't any palazzos; it's a slum). I will leave it to someone else to investigate this. Bresch?
That's it for the tailors unless I think of anything else.
i did not have the time to visit one
instead i went to a shirtmaker..
no name on the entrance
and you walk up several unlit flights:
until you get to the correct floor
.. and again no name of the shirtmaker on the entrance
only some sort of back room therapists
note the dingy state of the building
then you walk to the end of a dark corridor
when finally the door has a nameplate
nb:corridor doubles as the sitting room of the doctor
then i go for a fitting:
the workroom:
a client's linen shirt:
here is the quartieri at night:
we had dinner at this street 'tent' trattoria in the quartieri

T4phage, cool... but somehow scary.Originally Posted by andreyb2
the scary part of that evening
is when our host insisted we have chocolate filled brioche
after a huge meal
at 12pm
and he had it freshly made
from a nicer part of town
i picked up my new unlined camelhair shirtjacket
from anna matuozzo
with sf member jona:

I like that, BoBo.
Don't let the naysayers say that the patches are English-low.

Thanks T4 --- that looks great. I've always wondered about those shirt jackets: is there any interlining or anything inside giving it structure (eg. the lapel roll), or is it just the cloth we see doing all the work?
I'm thinking of having something like that made from the S-G chambray.

I'm surprised his name isn't in your signature, given his reluctance to have it known.
