Short trip to Naples (autumn 2009)

[Maxomoto]

Dear LondonLoungers,

i plan to visit Naples with my father for three days in October this year. Besides enjoying the good food and a nice hotel (recommendations welcome!) I would also like to do some shopping.

Ties should be no problem. I plan to visit Marinella for some bespoke ties, maybe Attolini.

I would love to get a pair or two of bespoke pants (Ambrosi?) IF a fitting is possible after 24 or 48h. I assume we will stay Friday to Sunday so this might be a problem.

What do the fellow board members recommend in and for Naples?

Kind regards from Berlin,

Max

Thank you. Vesuvio seems to be fully booked on all weekends in October - I try to arrange something with my travel agency.

Will Ambrosio be able to do a fitting after 24h?

Regards,

Max

Why would you recommend Formosa and D'Ambrosio over other tailors (e.g. Rubinacci, Panico) and shirtmakers (e.g. Borelli, Matuozzo)?
