    Really? Are you sure you are not confabulating her with Anna Matuozo of Naples?

    Milan Bespoke Shirtmakers

    I am planning a trip to Milan in October and I am trying to identify worthwhile shirtmakers and tailors to check out, more to make souvenir pieces and for the adventure than to build my wardrobe. I'm having some trouble with shirtmakers. Besides the famous Siniscalchi, I have found the...

    Furnishing new apartment

    I just saw this crap about kitchen costs, more urban legends. First of all my price for my kitchen was "down to the studs". Second of all there are lots of unfortunate reasons one cannot compare prices between kitchens in Europe and the United States, one of which is the expectation that...

    best Tumblr pages

    I know I am a "late adopter" but can anyone propose a "top ten" of Tumblr pages for men's classic clothing?

    High Quality Bed Linen at a good price?

    I just bought linens for two beds and two baths in my new apartment, totalling $4000 (everything included sheets, comforters, pillow cases, 4 types of towels x 6 sets, and custom cut bath mats) from Busatti. Getting them was challenging. I liked the product. I think the bath towels are the...

    Burgos (famous Madrid shirtmaker) to visit USA with tailor to royals

    Carmen has asked me to post something about her planned return to NYC. I consider her a friend but otherwise I have no connection to her firm. Details: her shirts are in the "$300" range give or take depending on fabric. So she is not "a steal" but definitely on the lower end. She generally...

    Furnishing new apartment

    I have to respond to this pile of crap. You can put this in the same bin as the urban legends about the Amish guy who will make you an entire kitchen for $5000. The AVERAGE price for a MID-LEVEL (not high end) kitchen re-do in the Philadelphia metropolitan area was $60,000. No averages are...

    request for blazer recommendations

    I am going to try the Spanish tailor Larrainzar, who visited New York the other day. I have a choice between Scabal 11.5 ounce fabric 701775 from the Classics bunch, a navy twill in wool, or 752181, a 9.5 ounce navy twill with 1 percent cashmere from the Triple A bunch. These will be used for a...

    Looking for looks

    What is a treasure trove of pictures on the net? When we are thinking of having a garment made and we want to see ensembles, where do we look? So many disqualifications! Homoerotic pictures of Adonises wearing nothing but a pair of trousers, not so useful. Nor hobo-ish ensembles on the...

    More Carmina Shoes

    Thanks for the snark, but I was referring to the split in the toe, a feature distinctive to the EG Dover, and I believe this has to be hand-sewn the way EG does it. I was not referring to the rest o fthe shoe. In any event, basic knowledge does not help since there is widespread disagreeement on...

    More Carmina Shoes

    Carmina shoes are fine and the back-and-forth about them is ridiculous. For one, as wonderful as EG shoes are (for example), I am not sure that every model they make is a winner. Overall, I don't think Carmina leather shoes are the equal of EG's, but they cost half as much. One can compare, for...

    You know, that might be true, but I obviously don't have access to their culture like I do the English.

    Stylish Non-Clothing Things

    In terms of effort and recentness, I expended the greatest effort on acquiring leather accessories that were precisely what I wanted and needed. I guess globally bespoke leather manufacture is a dying craft, so there are fewer and fewer firms one can commission to do things. Mafoofan's fight...
