Finishing touches on a suit jacket and pants at Sartoria Davi. Always a privilege and a pleasure to see how a great tailor thinks, works and creates with his team. For more info, check out my profile of Davi in my new book (link in bio) #bespoke #tailor #menswear #sartorial

New project with maestro Palmisciano - a “stroller” jacket and vest. Similar to the old Apparel Arts illustration above but updated. For more info, check out my profile of the maestro in my new book (see link in bio) #craftsmanship #bespoke #artisan #tailor #menswear #sartorial

My bespoke butterfly strap travel loafers made by a veteran Sicilian shoemaker. Currently you need to visit Sicily to order shoes. Looking at taking US orders/measurements on his behalf. DM if interested. #madeinitaly #madeinsicily #artisanal #handmade #bespoke #shoes #shoemaker

A midnight blue velvet house jacket and trousers for relaxing at home. Will pair superbly with my Alfred Sleep slippers. Look forward to seeing maestro Palmisciano next week! #sicily #madeinitaly #madeinsicily #sumisura #artisanal #bespoke #craftsmanship #sartorial #elegance

Minimal or animal? A pair of English slippers have been on my sartorial wish list for some time. Down to the vamp design - an owl motif or monogrammed initials. WWYC? Thanks to Arthur Sleep for mocking these up. #london #savilerow #bespoke #sartorial #menswear #slippers #shoes

Walked by Arterton’s shop on Savile Row last week & bought a lovely Nakata hanger made in Japan. The Kanna finishing and joinery work are exquisite. Truly a functional work of art #madeinjapan #savilerow #london #sartorial #handmade #craftsmanship #menswear #mensaccessories

London is a sartorial crossroads. On the way to Henry Poole, we see a plaid suit in the famous Huntsman cut (right) and an overcoat made by the artisanal Mucska workshop near Vienna (left). #savilerow #london #sartorial #bespoke #handmade #bespoke #craftsmanship #menswear #tailor

Sicily never ceases to amaze me. Grateful for having visited Catania, Messina, Palermo, Siracusa, Vittoria, Comiso, Scoglitti, Ragusa and Noto this year. Best wishes for the holidays and happy new year 2023! #sicily #aperol #madeinitaly #madeinsicily #bespoke #sartorial
