yes in como. but he will be comming to holland for the fittings. he has got himself about 5-10 dutch clients now. some are bespoke entousiasts that order only once a year. most are ordering suits and jackets for their dayjob a few times a year

he is a tailor w/o internet presence, gianni lovadina, mainly catering to local lawyers doctors and a few aristocrats. together with two other guys i was introduced to him by giancarlo bonfanti, the shirt fabric weaver/irish pub singer/lady scarf wearer
 
elite hotel to keep the overhead down

Yes I liked that! :nayner:
W Bill herringbone on the shoulder. Only worn it once, but fit seems to be good. Can for the love of foo, not remember the pants cloth. They are grey and soft and makes me look like a grandpa.
 
Obviously there are examples of stuff from him that look off. But if you do not interfere and push your own stupid iGent ideas too much, I think that he does good work. Gives sound advice on color, style etc. too - and since I do not have that much bespoke experience yet, I find that to be helpfull.

My first thought too. 143€ for what? At 50 I would think about buying.
But sure.. it will be a hit amongst his friends.
