Bespoke Gaetano Aloisio Brown Pinstripe Suit - 36​​​​/​​​​46R

Description

Gaetano Aloisio is one of the best bespoke tailors around today​,​ and an excellent representative of the roman school of tailoring. Born in 1964 in Calabria (the home of many bespoke tailors)​,​ he began working for a sartoria in his village when he was 11 years old after school. At 16​,​ he left for Milan​,​ where he continued his training with Cesare Tosi (one of the classic bespoke houses at the time). Four years later​,​ he went to Rome to attend a tailoring school and was recommended to join Sartoria Luzzi. At the age of 22​,​ Gaetano Aloisio already made a name for himself by winning the Forbici d'Oro (the Golden Shears in Italy). In 1991​,​ he opened his own bespoke atelier in Rome Via Domenico Chelini before moving to the Villa Malta​,​ Via di Porta Pinciana​,​ in the heart of Trieste quarter. Here you will find the names of Battistoni​,​ Bocache & Salvucci​,​ Brioni​,​ Caraceni​,​ Gatto or Marini​,​ at walking distance. Now​,​ he is one of the biggest bespoke tailors in Rome​,​ working along 40 tailors​,​ seamstresses and finishers​,​ creating 70 garments a month for heads of state​,​ politicians​,​ celebrities​,​ and CEO's. He is also one of the last who can perfectly make a bespoke morning coat or tailcoat for the most formal of occasions. While Gaetano learned the making of suits from the three main regional tailoring styles in Italy (Neapolitan​,​ Roman​,​ and Milanese)​,​ he mostly excelled in the roman style. His shoulders are structured and very clean​,​ without being as strong as English or Parisian tailors. He also particularly likes Parisian lapels and the style of Francesco Smalto for its sharp and quite graphic lines. I'm proposing a classic example of his work: a three-button brown pinstripe suit made by Gaetano Aloisio for himself. Made in 2005 in a light wool​,​ this piece will become a favourite of yours during the spring and summer months​,​ with a nice pair of loafers. As always with Gaetano Aloisio​,​​​​​​ it is fully handmade​​​​​​,​​​​​​ from the lining to the buttonholes​​​​​​,​​​​​​ from the shoulder to the collar. The suit features Gaetano's own Parisian lapel and his famous drop pocket. There is even a "point baguette" (an handmade seam along the line of the trousers​​​​,​​​​ similar to what you could find on a tuxedo trousers​​​​,​​​​ but without the satin band). The condition is excellent​,​ except for very small holes on the right leg of the trousers​,​ one next to the fly​,​ and one below the right pocket on the trousers (see photos). It can be easily mended and therefore completely invisible for 100 euros. The suit is best fitted for someone with a 36UK​​​​​/​​​​​​46FR​​ size​​​​,​​​​ around 1m75. Here are the measurements: Shoulders: 43cm Sleeve length: 60cm (with 4cm of fabric to let out) Chest: 49cm Waist at button: 49cm Jacket length: 76​,​5cm (collar included​​​​​​,​​​​​​ with 4​,​5cm of fabric to let out) Lapels: 9cm Waist for trousers: 39cm (with 7cm of fabric to let out) Length from inseam: 74cm Length total: 100cm (with 5cm of fabric to let out) Legs width: 20cm (with 5cm of fabric to widen it) Cuffs: 5cm Quality similar to the following bespoke houses: - In France: Camps de Luca​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Francesco Smalto​,​ Cifonelli​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Claude Rousseau​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Arnys​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Lanvin Mesure​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Henri Urban​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Max Evzeline​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Opelka​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Kenjiro Suzuki - In Italy: Caraceni (Augusto or Domenico)​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Rubinacci​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Dalcuore​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Panico - In England: Anderson & Sheppard​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Henry Poole​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Huntsman & Sons​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Nutters of Savile Row​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Chittleborough & Morgan​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Richard Anderson​​​​​​,​​​​​​ Meyer & Mortimer Possible to try it in Paris 15th Arrondissement
