Really enjoyed this. Very informative and gives an excellent insight to his approach, style and way of thinking. Also good to see talent such as Vittorio, who clearly has a passion for both the design side and the tailoring itself, strike out on his own.…
Vittorio Salino: His philosophy, and fitting a jacket
Really? Interesting, it might be my memory but I can't remember anyone I've worked with saying that
Suit style 2: The single breasted
I think cotton to be honest. The issue with these is mostly the fine yarn, but the weave is quite sharp as well.
Wearing colour: Tobacco jacket and cream trousers
It would have the same advantages, yes
Long-sleeved polos for summer
To be honest it's been a while since I tried the Toys ones Joseph! From what I remember they were similarly styled, but I preferred the toughness of the material on the McCoys ones
The Real McCoy’s chinos: Review
Hi, "Toys McCoy and I have tried their official version, but prefer this pair. " - could you elaborate? I'm looking to buy so it would be good to understand pros and cons. thanks!
Well I'd argue the opposite will be the case. When there's less need for a formal suit since the decline of dress codes (especially in work places) the opportunity to wear a jacket is more of a personal choice. Something you do because you just…
Blimey
And it's already sold out!
Thank you, I'll take a look.
Hey Nick, Yes, as Vittorio mentioned in the article, he is a little roomier, slightly wider shoulders and a bigger chest, for comfort and ease as much as anything
Lovely article Simon! I think such pieces are a fantastic feature of this website and they remind me of the early days of PS. Also interesting to learn from the armoury interview that he was head cutter at liverano, that plus the price point make…
No I'm not Lucas. I'd be surprised if that were the case. We certainly don't with products we ship to the EU
The Valet is starting something like that. Not comprehensive yet but worth a look
Dark blue, but I bought it second hand I'm afraid! I have machine washed it once and do so with my other caps as well
Introducing: The Speciale hand-framed cotton sweater
Wonderful, thank you David

I have not always been a fan of half sleeves polo with jeans and even you have mentioned in one of your comments that you find that look lazy. Would a long sleeve polo also look better with workwear chinos rather then denim according to…
I think that's probably better dealt with in he review piece, but at a basic level it will be similar - buttons, pockets, notch etc.
Hello Simon — On a separate note, is the cap you anre wearing originally black or dark blue? The colour it’s developing is great. Have you been machine washing?
Excellent ideas for american sized bodies. good interview.
Just an FYI: Nick over at the Garmology podcast posted a lovely interview with Yuki Matsuda in February. Yuki talks about the origins of each of his brands. It’s worth a listen.
Hi Simon, hope you’re well. Congrats on the successful book launch, can’t wait to read it! You’ve mentioned several times that these wool trousers rarely come out due to how formal they look. Is that due to the weave, the fabric, or both? I’m commissioning…
Thank you for this introduction to Salino. His answer to final question made me think a bit. While my current philosophy and use case largely mirrors what he described, I can't help but feel like that a structured suit is much more likely to be…
Just received the book and skimmed through it. Great work, very helpful structure and comments. The book will be well worn in a short time (pun intended).
