Hand-made buttonhole appears in White House

[Noble Savage]

Hand-made anything in mens clothing is rare in US politics. Ready-to-wear or expensive but cheap-looking suits, and in some cases, truly cheap, clothes have been the order of the day in Washington, so as not to offend the electorate. But now, as the official portrait of the newly elected Vice President of the US clearly shows, there is a what looks like a hand made, possibly Milanese buttonhole on the lapel.

One must also note that, Mark Zuckerberg had a prominent place near the podium at the inauguration. He was caught by the camera without his hoodie, in necktie.

Romualdo Pelle, a 90-year-old Italian immigrant and master tailor who founded the store in 1968, is still active in the business.

To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Romualdo, the team decided to undergo a full rebrand and create an identity that would harken back and honor the opening days of Romualdo Pelle’s quaint tailor shop

MOVING AWAY FROM ‘BESPOKE’

It seems in recent years, ‘bespoke’ has become somewhat of a buzzword, the “catchword du jour.” A word used to cloak and distract from true authenticity. In our opinion, using the term bespoke to describe the notion that one can choose a fabric, a lapel style, a lining, a stitch color, under collar messaging, etc., truly takes away from the original meaning. We believe that customization of a garment fit, look, and style is absolutely essential for a man’s wardrobe, however, without the multiple in-person basted fittings and personal decisions made in conjunction with the tailor who is personally making one’s garment with their own hands, the usage of bespoke seems to be watered down if not unreliable.

The core of our business has been, and always will be our in-house alteration and re-crafting services. We do not wish to confuse our friends, guests, and clients of who we are by using buzzwords.
