Quest'arte dovrebbe essere nominata patrimonio UNESCO come quella della pizza. "L'uomo si deve emozionare e solo un altro uomo può emozionarlo. Non una macchina": parole scolpite nell'anima. Nessun brand, anche il più costoso, potrà mai sostituire l'esperienza sartoriale. E' una questione di sensibilità. Che città contraddittoria...
I would love to know the history of tailoring and the system of training for the Neopolitan sartori. My granddaughter Egidio Capobianco emigrated to the New York from Napoli around 1910 and immediately went to work for Brooks Brothers and later Saks Fifth Avenue. I can still picture him with his tape around his neck and s cigarette in his mouth.
Always classy the Italians, I went to Portugal once to buy a pair shoes, the Lady in the shop laughed when she saw my feet size 7 she said they didn’t have any that size I felt awful some of the men had smaller feet than me 🤣😂🤣🤣☺️🤣☺️🤣☺️🤣
As much as aI love Neapolitan jackets they are simply outclassed in every aspect by the London tailors. I have two suits, both bespoke to compare: one is from Anderson & Sheppard and the other one is from Kiton (both bespoke). For A&S I paid 10,400 GBP and for the Kiton 13,500 EUR (similarly priced). The fit of the A&S is for the Kings whilst Kiton is very light and very sporty, it just doesn't have the class of the A&S. In A&S suit you feel rich, in Kiton suit you feel very comfortable but I could achieve the same suit from a smaller tailor in Napoli for maybe 2500 EUR. So it's all about feelings. I just feel better in A&S Suit. I also have other tailors, from Panico, Rubinacci, and Cesare Atollini, but Napoli is not for me. Only for summer jackets, everything else I make in London. I have some amazing shirts from Napoli, but again, London bespoke shits are just better.
@@valeriobell1926 and also the built. I was a boxer, wide shoulders, big arms, I just don't fit well into Neapolitan suits, I really believe that Neapolitan style is for smaller men.
Exactly! Different strokes for different folks. That is why it is important to have diverse schools of tailoring, British with their armor like suits, Italian with their skin like suits etc. Once you go bespoke, you can easily find which type you like most, and then who will be your favorite tailor for the rest of your life.
I was also a boxer. I went to the Olympic games, helped train professionals, and have the build of Anthony Joshua. I prefer Neapolitan suits because they are soft, light, and comfortable. I don't need a suit to assure myself or others that I'm rich or successful. Why did you buy 4+ Neapolitan suits before deciding its not for you? Did you not try on a Kiton or Attolini in the showroom before purchasing? I'm also curious what fabric your A&S is since the price you quoted is double the starting price.
