Sleevehead's Guide to Sicilian Tailors is the first and only comprehensive guide exploring the largely undiscovered world of Sicilian bespoke tailoring. Menswear expert Bruce Boyer praised the first edition as "very impressive and the definitive guide to the subject.Ó This new expanded edition remains the definitive reference on Sicilian tailoring whose signature is a softly structured jacket and whose heritage rivals Savile Row and Naples. The author covers an expanded list of more than 20 tailors across Sicily including the four largest cities (Palermo, Catania, Messina and Syracuse) and two smaller towns (Ragusa and Modica) as well as other artisanal makers of shirts, ties and accessories. Logistical and travel details have also been updated to plan your own sartorial trip. Included is a useful framework comparing Sicilian tailoring to other modern tailoring strategies, showing how it differs from Savile Row and Naples and why it deserves to be known as the third major school of Western tailoring.
