I'll be in Rome for a while and I was thinking of getting a jacket made while I'm here, either bespoke or MTM. Searching the forum I found a thread by SeamasterLux suggesting Sartoria Ripense might be a good option. They currently charge €3300 for a jacket (minus VAT refund for non-EU residents). I stopped by and spoke with the owner briefly. It appears to be a friendly and well-run business.
I'm wondering if there are other options I should consider before I decide whether to go ahead with the idea. I wouldn't want to pay more than that, so no Kiton or similar. From what I can tell by reading threads regarding results from at least one of the lower-priced MTM tailors here (Lanieri), at the moment I am not particularly enthusiastic about that option.
I've noticed that there are tailors in Naples that are somewhat cheaper (e.g. Solito, Amato, Zizolfi, and Formosa). Naples isn't that far away by train, so if Naples is definitely better I might consider going there.
