Yes. That was weird, especially as it was not an off-hand comment.

Any insight into what the word is on the street re the new Huntsman? That sort of thing hasn't really traveled across the Atlantic yet. Or at least not to me.

Yes, Silk used Caraceni. I haven't heard from him on LL in years and years. Dopey may be the most recent Caraceni Roma client here. Dopey is a happy occasional Caraceni customer, whose patronage is limited to the occasions when he gets to visit Roma. He is glad, therefore, that he will be returning...

I thought that was old news (as in weeks old). In any event, I think we can expect Huntsman to survive as an RTW shell for at least a few more years until its existing reputation is thoroughly used up. Whether L'Roubi is successful as an RTW marketer and can keep the shine going on his own is anothe...

I am told he is heading next door to Richard Anderson. I believe the term "more Huntsman than Huntsman" to be spot in. Irrespective of quality, I have been in to sample roubi l roubi's new designs. Although the quality might be present as the RTW before them and like all decent Savile Row RTW, the ...

The Rubinaccis are speaking atthe exhibition on the 26th of March.

The discussion in this thread makes me sad, at least as it applies to Huntsman. I am curious if anyone is aware of any real changes at Huntsman, as opposed to simply website redesign. There is some mention of departures - but does anyone have any real information? As far as I know, the people I hav...

Several years in my case - before he took ill.

Meet Cosimo and Leonardo Sportelli the owners of best Milan's best pipe shop. http://www.claymoorslist.com/portfolios/alpascia I know of the Al Pascia shop but have never been there. I am, on the other hand, a great fan of Giorgio Musico (and his son Massimo) in Rome. I hope you get to speak with t...

I went to Pitti once - about 8 years ago - and enjoyed it. But it wasn't then like what I see today. The world has changed. Cruel, cruel world. It's my own fault. I blame myself. I shouldn't leave the house on most days nor open the internets. Yes, I will stay in the house this weekend and drink sc...

What I want is: a speak-easy, called 'Lucifer's'; layered with wavering, fragrant clouds of Turkish tobacco smoke; low-ceilinged too, so that there is no escape; just like Ronnie Scott's used to be, circa 1986. I bet that there are no takers for that one! But there would be no idle make-believe tha...

This is a personal favorite. I had originally designated it for travelling, but wear it all the time now. But if you don't like Jicky, you won't like MdM either.
