Ok guys, here we go.

Our esteemed forum member WeakMonday WeakMonday ,

- italian bespoke tourist of some of the worst italian untailors,
- friend of the much despised gianni cerutti and his pigwife martha,
- who, unlike many of his fellow menswear cosplayers has a pretty good sense of humour,

is opening up a shop in shanghai within a week or two

@ For MTO+/MTM suits- he will have a Japanese brand called TakizawaShigeru in (Reda/VBC/Dormeuil). retail around 9200 RMB for Reda Stuff

@ For RTW/MTO/MTM shoes- he will have Riccardo Bestetti (he is working on adding another shoemaker with a lower price point at this upcoming Pitti).

@ Shirts are just RTW (Errico Formicola)

@ Ties are RTW Passaggio Cravatte (3 folds) and Biagio Santos (3 folds)

@ Shoe polish- Boot Black

Here are the pictures from the temporary location on the third floor of an apartment

this thread is for him to post more pictures and for us to ask him questions and discuss his enterprise

i wish him the best of luck

pm. this is a temporary thread only. once he has got a list of big boys and has expanded into bespoke he will become an official styleforum affiliate and leave us again just like @charlie, Chorn, EFV, seamless, ElioDA (?)
 
Thank you for reposting my bad instagram photos!
Yes it will probably be Detour Shanghai... honestly I'd prefer it called Mens Detour... but maybe we will use that for something else
I'm actually a pretty good fit in RTW Bestetti (I have a pair of the RTW hand welt black lazymans)... I'm contemplating getting a pair of Novocentos and some more MTOs... but they will most likely be display pieces for a while.
 
i really dislike the name detour
try to make up some other english-sounding name like all good italians do
 
anything to speed up the process to get you upload some better stuff from your store

any particular nice stuff in your harissons/lessers/w bill/smiths books?
I only have the light weight stuff right now... so I'm not sure you would be interested... the Lesser 8oz Super 150's has some really nice stuff... but it goes against everything igents stand for.. I am considering a mottled dark grey from the Lesser 8/9... and maybe a Smith Botany in Navy for my suits in June.
 
WeakMonday WeakMonday - Exciting times! Congratulations on the business and I hope that things go from strength to strength.

I look forward to hearing more about your products and how things develop - all the best with your venture!

Smith's Botany is good stuff

lesser 8/9 is great summer suiting. at least the old stuff i had made up. although i slightly prefer the old minnis rangoon

who is going to make your june stuff up?
 
how about somebody from sicily or from the north of italy? why only naples?
yes you could bring over the guy who sewed some of the seams on agnellis suits, musella dembech

or giannis new milano based jap friend saroria CRESENT
 
It is a pain in the ass traveling back and forth to anywhere for fittings haha... Just taking the train to Florence from Naples for fittings was annoying... But doable... I am looking at some of the Japanese tailors in Italy... And some other Florentine tailors...

Florentine tailors = also boring

Get someone from ROME
this is very romantic
 
I just really like Naples compared to the other cities... So I don't mind staying there a while for fittings. Florentine tailors because of Pitti and bistecca (I am a fatty).

I am sure you are a bad eater
And i am sure you do not understand naples
 
Then ignore the TOP advise and go on Naples to have a gay time!!
It is impossible to give any advice to iGents.
 
At least it probably tastes good... You should see the food they give Chinese tourists at Vesuvius. Spaghetti with marinara sauce and some shit bread.
