He is of course Simon Craptom who is commonly know to get bribed to promote third class impossible garments as the featured on his blog. This guy asked for money as well  on the neapolitan business of a close friend and he was lucky to not end on the dock...


If true, this is by far the most interesting information in this thread. Call me moralistic, but I find the idea of asking poor Italian tailors for money to feature them on your blog the height of bad taste.

So, I actually bothered to read this thread from the start.

And all this while I thought my local tailor had done a pretty ****** RTW alteration job.



I guess I have a bona-fide bespoke poofy Italian shoulder now, too?

This is not a spalla insellata that although anachronistic is still a proper shoulder construction. Yours look like the Pa-fucked shoulder of Mafoofan fame

There's a few bounders out there alright, Alden, Crompton, & of course the vintage port of the lot Bown.

Sorry to correct your English ,Marco, but it is 'Mafoofame'.


JRD: Summary would be everyone accusing the other of being a shill, fraud, liar and promoting rubbish tailors in Napoli. Along those lines.

That is all you get you lazy SOB.
