It may well have been that the tailor in question was never very well trained in pocket making or finishing, but had discovered a secret sauce, the perfect combination of cloth, canvas, cutting and other components which made for a fluid, supremely comfortable suit. We are sharing and learning from each other. The internet changed all that.Ĭustomers are now comparing notes on internet fora, tailors are posting images of their work, and more and more are getting technical. Jet planes made travel easier, though tailors weren’t necessarily the first to be flying around the globe for inspiration or education. The curved barchetta breast pocket is another. There are very strong resemblances in the interiors (and lapels) of the best Parisian tailors. The Asola Lucida, or Milanaise buttonhole are obvious examples of a regional detail. Regional characteristics were fairly common because most tailors operated in a sort of stylistic bubble remember how Domenico Caraceni, often called the father of Italian tailoring, studied the King of England’s castoffs, not to copy exactly but to learn from them and to adapt whatever techniques he found useful. A tailor working in a shop in southern Italy would not often have the chance to see the work of other tailors, particularly those from other parts of the world. It is important to remember that most tailors learned and perfected their craft long before the advent of the internet. There may be a great deal of truth to this story. He ordered three more suits.Ī Neapolitan suit is like a drug that causes dependency at without which, once hooked, one can no longer do without. He had one his blue suit, telling me that he had been wearing it for a week because, for the first time, he felt a complete liberty of movement and that, as a result, he could no longer wear his older suits. He tried the suit on for a moment, and not feeling satisfied with what I had done, told me it felt wrong, then that it was too tight, that the shoulders were too wide.

In a month I finished his blue cotton suit, three buttons rolled to two in the traditional Neapolitan fashion, manica a camicia and patch pockets. I proceeded to mark the suit up with chalk but made no actual changes. I could tell that he was not satisfied because he asked me to make modifications which, to me, made no sense. Two or three fittings later we had a nearly completed suit. I had him remove his jacket, and started taking measurements. The client, who was given my name by one of my Roman clients, looked at me, perplexed, and asked me to make him a suit like the one he had on. Despite the expensive suit, he seemed to me to be a mannequin in grey chalk stripes. If i recall correctly, about ten or fifteen years ago I was visited by a client who was not particularly elegant but who was wearing a suit from a very famous and expensive brand. A story, translated (and slightly condensed) from the website of the tailor who made the suit we most recently dissected.
