Poor Stu at Rave FabriCARE be spending the next month after Pitti cleaning spilled negronis, mishandled cigars, and crusted-on bodily fluids* out of a hundred bespoke ivory DJs and velvet smoking jackets.

*It's unusual for an off-white garment to actually kind of hide stains but hey, every dog has its day.

Right. This is what I mean about Pitti coverage needing more misery. Let's get Stu's story on the hard work and toil of cleaning bodily fluids out of grosgrain.

I found it interesting that Simon from Permanent Style recently was telling someone (in the comments from one of his articles) that they shouldn't go to Pitti if they weren't in the industry...basically there was no point to being there if you weren't "working".

Simon just doesn't want to contend with yet another man at the Venetian mask orgy that the Swedes host every year.

These jokes are:

1. in poor taste, and
2. rather un-self-aware, as you are currently reading and posting on a men's fashion forum.

I personally don't care to go to Pitti but I also don't care if somebody else decides to go.

Fair on the first point. Apologies for taking poking fun at Pitti too far.

Dude's will smash that like button on a real life styfo meetup but will talk trash about dudes meeting up in, again, Florence, Italy.

Having no connection whatsoever to the fashion industry, I'd still really like to go to PItti. I mean, just for the spectacle of it and also to see new jawns. Plus, a few days in Firenze could never be a bad thing, right?

Pitti is a very important fair in this industry but it's also kinda exhausting TBH

Yeah that was my first time back since Jan 2020. a bit of a weird feeling. I didn't feel like socializing much... didn't go to any event. Hopefully just a temporary thing and I'll be back to my slightly less misanthropic self

Jan 2020 - the before times were fun. We were in Rome right afterwards, and said "Oh, we should definitely visit Rome again in 2021"... The best laid plans of men and mice, etc...

I have been nearly every winter from one year before we met there before No Man opened later that year, until 2020. We have a ridiculous number of unused cc travel points.

I will say this year was incredibly exhausting. Just nonstop. It didn't help that I went straight back to construction work less than 12 hours after I got back.

While I wasn’t at Pitti, I got wrecked at the Herman Awards (best college soccer players) and sent everything I was wearing — plus some shirts — to Stu earlier this week.

Saw some photos of you that A57 posted. Looked like all were having a pretty good time.

It was a great time! But I just can’t recover from the party life like I did in my 20s. There were a few days where I went home at a reasonable hour and woke up for an early morning run, and others where I was stumbling home at 3am.
