Abstract

The article looks at the trend of traditional men's custom suit making and tailoring in the Neapolitan Italian style in Japan. Many Asian tailors travel to Naples, Italy to apprentice in suit-making studios. Topics include the influence of the Italian suit brand Attolini, the differences between tailoring style in Japan and Italy, and tailors who hand-sew instead of using sewing machines.
