Excellent, sir.

Noticed that Cappelli has raised his prices by €5. Still more competitive than most competitors, imo.

He also added a bunch of new ties both to his standard collections and to the outlet sections. I grabbed a couple myself.

Tip: If you find something in the outlet section (not untipped outlet) that isn't available in the bespoke section and want it untipped, email him and he might reconstruct the tie to an untipped construction with handrolled edges for €20. You're basically getting an untipped tie for ~€75. That is if you really want the silk and it isn't available in the bespoke section.

Thanks! I noticed the price increase, as well. But as you say, still very competitive. He’s also been adding some very Tie Your Tie fabcrics recently, some of which are very nice.

I had the chance to visit the shop in Naples during a recent trip to Italy and commission a PoW tie. It arrived yesterday. The hand-rolled edges are not the best I've seen (even compared to my other Cappelli ties), but overall I'm happy with the result.

on the subject of increases, they have another one, now at 110 EUR/tie.

I appreciate Cappelli, and realistically, rolled edges are of nominal significance, but that weighed against Vanda is like addition versus trigonometry.

I wouldn't call that typical of Cappelli's work. I have many, many ties from Patrizio, and not a single one looks like that. To be clear, I wouldn't be upset with what is shown (not thrilled ,either) but I haven't experienced anything of the sort. My son is required to wear a tie with his school uniform, and Patrizio has made them all from first grade through his recently completed junior year of high school (11th year for those not from the US). I mention this because kids grow like weeds, which has meant a lot of turnover in the tie department. Not a single one that I have received either for myself or my son would I consider disappointing.

I'm also a fan of Vanda.

Agreed. I wasn’t thrilled about the edges but was okay with it then I noticed the stitching at the back of the tie. It seems the stitching wasn’t done properly and it’s starting to come undone. I’ve never seen anything like this and, frankly, the level of craftsmanship is unacceptable. Against my initial preference, I sent an email to Patrizio. We’ll see what he says.
