New Certified Artisans
Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2005 2:01 pm
Dear Sirs,
I am very pleased to announce three new additions to the londonlounge.net, CAP: Mr. Alex Kabbaz, Signore Antonio Ambrosi, and Monsieur Jean-Claude Colban.
Mr. Kabbaz is known to the readers of thelondonlounge.net and there are few words needed to introduce this resolute defender of the bespoke apparel arts. His shirts are more three dimensional works of art than apparel but I am quite sure he would prefer to think of them as working and living accessories of elegance and not museum pieces. One day we will have to have Alex visit us in London and Paris.

Many of our members have written to me about the importance of trousers in elegant dressing. It is true that a well designed and made trouser is an absolute necessity. I have received many compliments regarding the trousers I wear from our chapter members during some of our meetings and given the great difficulty many of you have to find competent help, I am very pleased to accept my own trouser maker from Naples into the CAP.
Maestro Antonio Ambrosi and his son make a beautiful hand made trouser. Photos of the process are available in the CAP photojournal for your study. Over the years I have assembled a variety of trouser patterns in different styles (English, English fish tail, Modified English/Italian etc.) These patterns are available for those members who wish to have a particular style of trouser made. Of course, Ambrosi makes the traditional Neapolitan close fitting trouser for use with a belt as well. He makes them for many of the best names in Naples.

Naming a men’s boutique to the CAP is something I had to think about for awhile until the reality of Charvet’s merits became so obvious. Bespoke suits, shirts, and ties all executed with extreme quality levels and all under one roof. The only shop in the world that comes at all close is Rubinacci’s exquisite London House in Naples.
Please welcome our three new Certified Artisan members.
