Unsuit was 12. If you could see the pants rise you would like it even less
If you asked a high rise (I suppose you asked nothing), a neapolitan tailor would object you've grown up since the last fitting.

This is my favorite post in the history of this forumView attachment 29304 View attachment 29305 On holiday in Italy for a week. I walked by this tailors shop. He speaks no English, I speak no Italian. Some google translate, me typing, he doesn’t understand cell phones, pointing and grunting like cavemen, we figured out he could finish a suit by the time I left. I might end up with patch pockets on one side and flap on the other. One peak lapel and one notch. 5 roll 4 buttoning maybe. I could only go with fabric he had there. Blue flannel was safe. We took the pants out 3 cm, maybe more. I’ll see what happens Friday. Goedkoper dan Nederland mtm.
Ha. It’s not from Napoli. I’m far northeast. North of Venice, by the Dolomites. I didn’t take him as an asshole. He wanted me to be happy with the suit. We had a lot of trouble communicating. I did ask for high rise but he must have misunderstood. I did take for granted the lapels would be wider. Everything else was what I asked for. Even if you don’t like it, those were my pick. I think the next one we could get much better. If not, for sure by the 10 th or 11 th one.If you asked a high rise (I suppose you asked nothing), a neapolitan tailor would object you've grown up since the last fitting.

Got the blazer back in time to make my flight. That’s the end of my adventures in bespoke tailoring.
For now, we all hope. Can't wait for future installmentsEnd

Forever?

I will have to have 10 more made before I get one that fits, right? This is the first time I have been to Italy and been able to do tourist stuff. Usually it’s so fn hot I can’t move and trying on jackets is the last thing on my mind. I go straight to Marina de Pisa and don’t leave the beach until it’s time for my flight back.The Rule of Foo is 11

Don't know. I used to believe Carnet was a midrange quality seller, mainly sport by turkish and greek and maltese diplomats and all those countries located between the developed and the third worlds. Which mills do provide them?

(Bad) combo. Giacca estivale con taschettina because I'm a super tacky.
The trip ends today and it's a good thing because I'm stuffed with noises, sun, food, sartorial meetings and Italian.
Yo dawg, I hear you like patches, so I put patches on your patches
Definitely no patch inside patch.
E due bottoni alla manica. Ovviamente.
Perché due? Non ti puoi permettere tre?
Summer jacket from Granata in wool-silk-linen blend. Job done in one week. Napoli direct.

The client has grown a lot taller ever since the last fitting
Yes and he took two pounds in a week. The jacket would need one more centimeter ease to the waist. How is your Zambrano's fake-e-lifer?
