I am wondering if there are any London tailors who do more of an Italian (neopolitan) cut. I would imagine some of the "soft tailoring" specialists could approximate something. But I am wondering if there is anyone in England who makes a less-padded, higher armhole, softer shoulder suit.

Thanks

The first and obvious choice would be Rubinacci in Mount Street. Otherwise I would suggest LL certified artisan, Steven Hitchcock.

Funny, I was thinking the answer would probably be either Hitchcock or Mahon. Thanks.

By the way, any idea what Rubinacci charges for a two piece suit?

If I recall correctly, prices for a piece suit start at 2895 pounds (inclusive of VAT).
