Finally I found A great mens shop in Rome!
Run by Gianluca Bocache (above) and Andrea Luparelli, the shop is super chic and specializes in custom suits and shoes. I hate to admit it but I always judge a shop by the owners and these guys are cool. I love a peak lapel suit, however the question is always one or two-button. I always go peak with one-button but I’m swayed by Gianluca’s two-button swagger.
Unfortuneately my shooting schedule in Rome was so tight (made worse by the never ending rain) I wasn’t able to shoot the shop but it will give me a reason to return to Rome asap.
If you find yourself in the Eternal City here is there shop info.

Rare (sadly) are the times I have a "WOW" moment when I see clothing these days. But I have to say, this guy's suit coat is one of them.
That stunning blue (with white pinstripes) against his black hair, dark eyes and black tie with a white shirt. WOW. Fantastic, great-looking without being "over the top" like so many styles.

I noticed that his shoulder appears to be rimpled, is this for design? Or is that just how it breaks in? Either way it looks good.

This idea of a double breasted lapel on a single breasted jacket still doesn't work for me… trying too hard comes to mind.
Loving the cut-away collar on the shirt and the sharp tie – nice work.

There is a reason men should keep their hands out of their pockets.
Sweet face, but the look is nothing special. Except for the pocket square that is playfully, not square.

I had a suit like this in '77, but it was a navy pinstripe. I like the idea of a peak lapel on a single-breasted jacket, but only for certain really dressy occasions. This guy cuts quite the bella figura – kind of an Italian James Bond. The spread of the collar, and the width of the tie – looks like 3.75" – are perfectly proportioned with the lapels.
