The 3 Italian Tailors That Make Savile Row Look Cheap

Savile row is the most famous tailoring street in the world, but the Italians think it's cute. One thing that nobody tells you is that the best suit you will ever buy in your life doesn't come from London. It comes from Napoli. And here are three names that you need to know. And by the way, shout out Anton, he's one of the best dressed men on Instagram. 3. Cesare Attolini At number three is Cesare Attolini. This is the family that basically invented the Neapolitan soft shoulder. No padding or structure. The jacket basically moves with your body like a second skin. Later, Severo borrowed this idea, but Attolini perfected it in 1930. The starting price is around $6,000 and the waitlist is growing every year. 2. Liverano & Liverano At No. 2 is Livorno e Livorno. Now this one is Florence, a bit different than the Naples ones. Florentine tailoring is more architectural, more precise. Antonio Liverano is considered by many the greatest tailor alive. One suit, six fittings in months of work, and he will turn you away if he doesn't think you appreciate what he does. 1. Kiton And at number one is Kiton. Twenty-five master tailors work on a single jacket. The buttons are hand carved horn. The canvas is floating, meaning it's never fused, never glued, and it breathes with you for decades. A suit starts at $7,000 and can be upwards of $50,000 depending on what you get. Savile Row has the history, but the Italians have Obsession. And obsession always wins.
