Oh, I was hoping there were pics of other people's stuff. Solito is hard to pin down. Their reputation is for a drapey coat and that's what Gennaro wears and it's what they make me. But I do see a lot of slimmer stuff. I think they cut based on how old you are and the younger you are the slimmer they cut. Lord knows it's not based on body shape.
I actually spoke to Luigi last weekend when I dropped in with a friend getting measured. Luigi described their house style as "normal Neapolitan." In comparison, he described Rubinacci as "similar, but more old style." Also, identified my the sleeves on my blue LH suit as "spalla camicia," but done "the old way." Very vague, I know, but it's interesting to hear these guy's perspectives on their competitive landscape.
