Re: Napoli Tailoring
In Italy we said "tutti i gusti sono gusti" ("All tastes are tastes") and in Naples they said "Dove c'è sfizio non c'è perdenza" ( "where is pleasure not is loss"),so at the end,if one is content where is the problem?
Said this is important that a customer know the features and the silhouette of a tailor.
If Naples schools don't like is better see to another city; the world is so big....

Re: Napoli Tailoring
I have to say I wasn't too keen on the sound of darts down to the hem but having seem them on Danieles suit I'm sold. Surely they don't follow the crease line in the trousers Daniele? That would just to much to resist!
Mr. Grayson, here is a picture of Mr. Silk in full bespoke attire. I hope this will suffice your needs. (He's the one in the wig)

Now do jog on, before we all end up with no pants on you bore.
Blatant Modernist.

Re: Napoli Tailoring
Seems a good sport coat.
But is not a little childlike all this "my suit is better of your"?
For the suits play many factors,like personal taste,sartorial languages that changes from a country at another (or from a city at another),tailoring schools..
So is comprehensible said "i don't like" (for exemple,im not crazy for the Rubinacci soft tailoring school),less comprehensible is said "this is wrong".
Life is too much short for quarrel about a suit.

Re: Napoli Tailoring
No, no Marc - a picture of you in your clothes.
Anyone can post a picture of a jacket and claim it as their own bespoke. Do try and keep up - you don't sound to me like you are genuine. Your language and your ego don't suggest a calm relaxed human being who has been able to enjoy good clothing. Your bluster and insults suggest someone who is trying hard not to expose a lack of knowledge. So let's put it on and see.
The jacket is nicely tailored - I suspect by an American given that it has 3 buttons on the front, which are horn and 4 buttons on the sleeve. The English original would more usually have 3 sleeve buttons and they might well be leather covered. It's difficult to say much more when it's on a hanger. Hardy is fine but a jacket in Hardy cloth is hardly a rarity over here. The lapel buttonhole looks to be on a different angle to the lapel itself but that may be an illusion. Similarly the left top shoulder is standing slightly proud of the hanger whereas the right is not but it may simply have been carelessly hung. Again, the jacket is long which may be why your tailor is so keen to tell you the Huntsman jacket is so great. Is the length something you are asking for?
There is nothing about the jacket or lining to say it's bespoke and the fit is an unknown quality. It doesn't prove anything Marc, sorry.
