That’s what I heard. I think Hugo jacomet mentioned it in his book the Italian gentleman. I suppose contact Zegna?Hey everybody,
Any idea with Mario and Angelo Pecora are still operating? Last I read, they were leading Zegna’s Bespoke Atelier, but that may be outdated.

I can vouch for WB61309, a lovely dark shade, perfect for the evening.
I think you forgot the picture of the fabric…..🤣My grey flannel suit arrived from Sartoria Corcos. It’s perfect. The fabric was chosen by Kotaro. I just told him I wanted a heavy charcoal worsted flannel and he went from there, so I’m not sure of the provenance, but I’m glad I stopped trying to source my own fabric.
He really has my pattern nailed down and I notice the difference when I wear his suits compared to my others.
How far along are you guys on this list?
If you do not own the following things, you are not well dressed
-a blue odd jacket. If you live in a two-season climate, then two, one for warmth and one for the cold -mid gray flannel pants -decent, non-chino khakis -at least one funky (but tasteful!) non-blue tweed jacket -a mid to dark gray worsted single-breasted suit -a navy worsted single breasted...www.styleforum.net
That is somewhat dated.
Brown oxfords are becoming increasingly arcane - young d00ds starting out would be far, far better off with black captoes, and beyond that, some rotation of loafers/derbies/chukkas/Chelseas for the increasingly non-suited world we live in. If someone was starting over after a house fire, I'd only recommend one pair of oxfords in their first 5 pairs of shoes unless they wore a suit > 1 time a week
French cuffs are somewhat of a bother - I have the wrists of a 7 year old girl, so perhaps this is my problem, but RTW FC cuffs seem to be routinely oversized, and prone to hanging weirdly vis a vis suit coat sleeves. Getting a good collar + sleeve length is 10x more important than the cuff makeup on the white business shirt.
I have a big wardrobe, and I still don't own a FW navy or blue odd jacket. For FW in colder climes, I actually recommend something that works from denim to grey flannel, and I don't love navy on denim. I tend to not wear denim in summer, so I am more in line with the navy thinking for the One True Spring/Summer sport coat idea.
Requiring 2 suits is a bit much for a lot of guys - pick charcoal or navy for the One True Suit. Depending on climate, you might want 2 in different weights. But I feel like there are lots of guys who'd be better off with 1 suit + 3-4 sport coats versus 2 suits + 2-3 sport coats these days. Similarly, on the DB front - you are probably better off covering yourself for seasons than worrying about a DB - north of the Mason Dixon line? You might want one suit that works 85F+, and another for 40F, as well as any suit ever works in either.
Yea time definitely has changed …
Not very far. I think that list is kind of dumb TBH.How far along are you guys on this list?
