Re: Carlo Brandelli Leaves Kilgour, Savile Row

I don't think he will be much missed, except by Kilgour's sales dept. He was always dressed like a douche, with that silly scarf and open shirt. I bet he's the main reason so many film celebs dress like that. Tom Ford dresses the same, but at least he has some chest hair and looks like a man. On the other hand, he may be one of the movers behind bringing more widespread attention to Savile Row.

Re: Carlo Brandelli Leaves Kilgour, Savile Row

I really liked Torregrossa's book on Cary Grant, I think he did a fine job, but the only negative was the little bullshit bit from Brandelli. I realize the publishers probably foisted it on him. I think I will glue those pages together, so when flipping through my gaze does not accidently rest on Brandelli's "contribution".

Any chance of the Kilgour people poaching the magnificent looking Karl Mathews from A&S?

Brandelli killed the Kilgour brand and turned into a crap poseur's label. Good riddance!

At the risk of a public flaying...

I like Kilgour and have a few suits by them but on the other hand my cutter predates the changes. Their cut is much more extreme than a lot of the other Savile Row tailors with a more pinched waist and more flared skirt. Really it's a polar opposite to A&S in profile. They are also the suits I am most careful about where I wear them in the US because this silhouette grates on a lot of Americans.

Re: Carlo Brandelli Leaves Kilgour, Savile Row

I remember someone posted black&white photos of some of these tailoring houses, last year. Where are they? I think they were historical from the 1960s, possibly. It was fun to look at the variations as I recall.

It seems that Kilgour RTW is dead - http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showpost.php?p=930588&postcount=1. Did Brandelli kill the bespoke business with his RTW tat and Bond Street boutique make-over?
