Caraceni Rome

[BP45]

Does anyone have contact information for Caraceni in Rome--either e-mail or a phone number? I plan to be in Rome for a week at the end of September and would like to make an appointment. Also, does anyone know if Caraceni is able (or willing) to go from measurement to first fitting in a week? Any experience at all with Caraceni?

You're a very lucky guy to have the chance to go to Rome for a week and have a suit made by Caraceni, the best tailor in Italy.

Strongly recommend that you try to squeeze in 2 fittings while you are in Rome, if at all possible.

Go to Caraceni early in your visit, choose cloth that is immediately available and let them know your schedule. They'l do their best for you.

You're in for a treat!

Prices start at E2,800.

Ask for Guido.
But not between Aug. 29-Sept. 4: He's coming to New York for vacation and
I promised to take him to BB!

Ah...Silk, what are you doing??!! Putting ideas in Guido's head.

Next we'll have trad Caraceni suits made in Shanghai.

You know how impressionable these young turks at Caraceni are!

If you already know what fabric you want, fax them the swatch number to ensure that they can have the fabric ready when you arrive.

No, really, UC; I was once in the "shop" and admired Guido's shirt, and he
proudly proclaimed that he loved to wear BB!!

I dared not tell him that I boycott Brooks Brothers because they shut their
shirtmaking factory in my hometown: Paterson, NJ--the "SilkCity"!

Best,

There's got to be an interesting story behind Paterson being called Silk City......?

There's got to be an interesting story behind Paterson being called Silk City......?

Owing to hydroelectric power from the Passaic River falls, Paterson (only about 10 miles from NYC) became the first truly industrial city in the US-founded by Alex. Hamilton.

One industry was processing silk. My grandparents and various relatives worked in the
"dye houses" as the processing plants were called. WWII and the introduction of synthetics
killed the industry.

My grandparents consequently opened a luncheonette--which was killed by LBJ's urban
renewal.

Best,
