I have asked Sig Arrigo if I can share pricing and he gave me the green light:

For those visiting his sartoria in Messina the price for a jacket is €800, €300 for trousers and €300 for a vest. Turnaround is 10 days to two weeks, depending on workload. He may visit New York and if he does, his cost will be considerably higher. If you are going to him in Messina you either must speak Italian or hire a translator, as he doesn't speak English.

I`m assuming that there is no discount if you buy and bring your own fabric? I plan on getting 2 suits made in June if the lockdown is removed. I can`t wait.

No, that was the price if you brought your own fabric (CMT), and I’m sure his prices are different from when I posted that.

The latest suit made by mr. Arrigo. I got it in January. Currently I can't take pictures because I have the suit in another house. I am very happy with the result.

That really is beautiful! Great cloth. How does MrArrigo cut the trousers traditionally, classic cut, slim, high waisted, etc? Curious as I've only had jackets made.

In this photo, little is seen. I always ask for dry trousers with a not very wide bottom. We can define them a bit slim but always classic. In my opinion they have a modern taste and are very well finished. Anyway I think mr. Arrigo can satisfy any request.

Note how the photo looks like I have very thin legs. In reality the pants hide many flaws. I was a weightlifter, so I have really big legs.

How baller must it be to not only be able to integrate a suit this iconoclastic into your wardrobe but then keep it in your other house.

Circulation is currently blocked for covid-19. And I think when I can go back to travel it will be too hot for this suit. Anyway, I had time to put it on sometime. It will be ready for autumn

Not attending Georgia State community college probably helped him achieve that baller status.

Anyone getting anything from I Sarti? I sent some navy Minnis mock leno and dark olive corduroy for jackets as well as the old 0520 Minnis fresco for a suit. Hope he'll be able to come in Sept.

I have a Fox Tweed from Director's Cut (which isn't on the website anymore?) and a Marling & Evans (50 wool 50 linen) for jackets, Dugdale Cavalry Twills for trousers. Not sure on a 3rd jacket yet. I am waiting for Fox to release their new bunches.

Salvo still has my suit and multiple pairs of odd trousers. I'm skeptical of September being feasible, but fingers crossed that our numbers will be more under control.

Here are two recent ones from Arrigo:

The houndstooth jacket is amazing! Do you still remember who made this fabric? Thanks!
