I enjoyed that a lot. The author seems like he would be at home, here.

A little aside:


Steve McQueen's heirs have filed suit against the Italian clothing company Belstaff, charging that the manufacturer has used the image of the iconic star to market a line of clothes. The suit says Belstaff had tried to secure a legal license for the promotion, but when their request was rejected, they proceeded to use the iconic star's image anyway.

Roman and Neapolitan Styles

I like this part:


"Biagio Mazzuoccolo was putting the finishing touches on a wonderful tweed coat when I posed him a question. “I have seen the works of fifteen tailors here in town. While the finishing and some aspects of the styling share common ground, there is a lot of variance with respect to cut and construction. How do you explain this? I mean is there really a Neapolitan style of coat?” Mazzuocolo stared into the tourist’s blue gray eyes and in a moment of generosity not common among his peers began a description of a city and its tailors, and more importantly a style that ten years later would become a global icon for well dressed men. “There are two major sartorial schools in Naples, the Blasi school and the Attolini school”, he began. Pen in hand and jotting notes all along the way as I listened, Mazzuocolo asked me “so you have probably seen a structured narrow coat and a long shouldered soft one. Is this right? ….The narrow coat would be almost two inches narrower in the shoulder compared to what we have in your coat”, he said pointing to the completely natural spalla camicia cuddled in his hand. “That narrow cut is Blasi and the one that suits you better is more Attolini.”


You don not find that much about Milanese and Florentine tailoring on the net....

As fas as I know Milanese tailoring is more "British/Scholte/Drape" and Florence tailoring is quite similar to Roman, but of course the styles have been blurred nowadays....

and some more stuff from over there:
