"Just don't ask for a single-breasted peak-lapel suit: Sergio doesn't think it's an elegant cut, and therefore Loro Piana will politely suggest an alternative. "We lose a lot of business because there are things we won't do," says Loro Piana's North America president, Pier Luigi Guerci. In this homogenized, customer-is-king world, you have to admire that."
That's bizarre

Re: Neapolitan Style
That Hamilton 3 piece suit that I also saw on a morning talk show was the most beautiful suit I've seen in a long, long time.
Hamilton has got to be the best dressed man in America today.
Again, his perfect shirt collar was outstanding. But even more interesting was the cut of his vest. More low cut than usual, it was unusually flattering, showing off tie and shirt. I would bet that it was a 5 button or even 4.
Outstanding!
If YouTube has a clip of that suit, it would be a real education.

Possibly not the suit in question, but, he's a very elegantly dressed chap.

Re: Neapolitan Style
Those are great video clips but they're not of the suit that he was wearing yesterday on TV.
That suit was a Cambridge grey, 3 piece, semi-peak lapel, light colored tie, solid light colored shirt, and mid-brown shoes.
GH really is of the old school.

Re: Neapolitan Style
Yes, that's the suit.
I couldn't begin to guess as to who made it.
But the more important point is not the tailor, but the way GH put it all together.
That, to me, is dressing well, not who one's tailor is.

Re: Neapolitan Style
From those who know Panico, and I do not, he is even more elegant in person than his photos convey.
I don't know much about the quality of his work nor silhouette but again it's not in the tailoring alone which makes the man but in the style: how many guys do you know who wear a cream colored linen suit at all, much less with the great style and insouciance of a Panico. And how old is he?: 60s maybe?
Luca, Luca....what can you say, he is becoming a star. Again, it's not only the clothes that he wears nor the breezy way he wears them but his whole Italian devil may care aura of sprezzatura. He is a young guy, maybe mid-20s now, but appears very comfortable in his skin and his clothes which incorporate jacket and tie but all done in a very youthful way.
The more I see photos such as these, I am reminded that dressing well and attractively is not in the technicalities of the suit per se but rather in choosing great accessories, putting colors together creatively and tastefully and then forgetting about it and getting on with the day, enjoying life.
BTW, GH appeared on the Bonnie Hunt show recently with another knock out outfit; can anyone find that on You Tube....?
