- The Store or another retailer of Incotex
- Tincati and Eddy Monetti for suits and general mens wear

Among things that do not need to be tried on, I would recommend ties and pocket squares from Marinella and Rubinacci. The Marinella store in particular is amazing - much larger and with more personalized service than the one in Naples.

If she visits during the sale season, and you know your size, then I might suggest Borrelli's store near the Hyatt. Their suits (just 2-3 styles in stock), shirts, pants, and ties go on sale 30%-40% off.

How do you like the Guy Rover shirts? I am just curious because I bought one several days ago but I have never heard about the brand before. I bought it because it is at a good discout (about 70$) and fits me well. I cannot even found any information in google about this brand.

I really like the Guy Rover shirts and own 8 or so. The shirts themselves are well made, come in attractive fabrics, have a stylish spread collar, and cost just €105 or so at Al Bazar in Milan, including the tailoring and extra set of cuffs and collar. Best yet, Al Bazar stocks nearly every model in my size 37cm neck. In the States, most stores wouldn't stock any shirts in 14" neck for me, but Al Bazar stocks everything in this size. I also like the thin cut and lack of pocket. For my money, there isn't a better buy.

I don't know which retailers carry them in the States. Because of these shirts and their terrific jackets, Al Bazar gets a visit from me on most of my trips to Milan.

Does anyone know where I should be looking for casual walking shoes? I am looking for boating shoes that are comfortable to walk around in all day. I am in Milan right now and will be going shopping this evening after work. What brands/stores should I keep my eyes out for? I dont want to spend more than 200 euros or so...
