ITALIAN BESPOKE : PICCOLO


A COUPLE MONTHS BACK, ON MY TRIP TO NAPLES I STUMBLED INTO THE MOST AMAZING CUSTOM SHIRTING SHOP. PICCOLO HAS BEEN AROUND FOR GENERATIONS  AND I COULDN'T RESIST THE TEMPTATION OF GETTING A SHIRT MADE. THE PICCOLO HELM HAS RECENTLY BEEN TAKEN BY DINO. HE IS BRINGING PICCOLO UP TO DATE WITH LESS TRADITION, MORE MODERN FABRICS LIKE THE CHAMBRAY I GOT BELOW. I WAS MEASURED AND FITTED AND A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THIS HANDSOME BOX ARRIVED AT MY DOOR IN BROOKLYN VIA DHL. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM HOOKED!

Feel like I have been teased, may we have a picture of the full shirt?

95Hey Matthew,
During the holidays, on a snowy New York night, I was finally able to enjoy something on T.V.
Montauk... Crabs... Side by Sides... Cool Cars...
Whiskey... Is it possible another person loves the same things I do? Old wool clothes and a Rolex watch? I must be dreaming! There is hope for mankind. Top it off with a hand made shirt from Naples...I am your newest, biggest fan. Continued success in all you do. See you in the Grouse woods.

Great fabric... I'm about to pull the trigger on a couple Finamores.
