I was really impressed with Kiton shirts.
I like Kiton shirts, but the prices are too high. The bottom hem of the Kiton shirts are rolled and stitched by hand like the edges of an Hermes scarf! I'm really impressed! Totally unnecessary though. I personally wear mostly British shirts.
yeah that's true - but at least in the US you can get good discounts on Kiton sometimes worth picking up
but I am more of Loro Piana guy, but some occasional color like ISAIA / Kiton doesn hurt
I have a personal preference for Isaia from Napoli, but Kiton is definitely also 'up' there --- both top quality and pretty remarkable in their more "chromatically interesting" offering :-)
At the same time, I would say more than Etro (Milano), they also feature a large "standard" selection for their more traditional clients Cheers.
I end up wearing mostly Etro and Isaia, which are easily my two favorite shirt brands these days, I'd say with a preference for the latter.... :-)
Etro Isaia PS: I finally decided to ask for a NON-Rare Handcraft Patek (!), given how unique this 6007G-001 is in the current catalog.....fingers crossed, I hope to receive it later this month or the next! ...
Very overpriced!
I'm told the smart money goes to Italy and they buy them at some outlets outside of Milano.
Definitely, I find ALL Italian fashion WAY overpriced in the US -- unlike watches and some of the jewelry, with good clothing we are easily speaking of a factor of 2 or 3 to purchase the exact same product in the US rather than Italy! :-)
But the funniest "buying" (or looking, I should say) experience for me in the US are the department stores, where along with *actual* brands that exist also in Italy, you'll often find unknown (and nearly as expensive) Italian-sounding names, which seem t...
can't wait, hopefully I can combine a Milan exhibition pilgrimage with a nice vacation with wife and parents
hopefully my patek game will be stepped up in two years so that I can at least apply for a rarehandcraft - even though unlikely that I will get an allocation
Not sure about the Rare Handcraft themes (Geneva was sent a few suggestions and will decide next), but I bet they'll include some gorgeous new Italian dials! :-)
Chances are they'll be reserved for the local market though, so you have to hurry up and build one of the so-called "Patek relationships" with an Italian AD....hoping the chosen one still has the agency in a couple of years from now! ;-))) Cheers.
good point - do we know when they will be done cutting ADs?
Maybe end of the year you can be sure your AD is safe for now or will this be an ongoing process over the next years ?
Nobody knows.
I'll be making a post aimed towards ADs on how to maintain their status for the big brands.
Thanks for the sharing, Patrick.
Great to see our fellow purists having a great time at Tokyo 👍🏻😊
Thank you for reading!
A great time was had by all! Did you ever make it out to Tokyo for the exhibition?
Likewise!
It was a true pleasure to speak with you. Thank you for meeting me! Will definitely let you know the next time I'm in the area! And you'll have to visit me North America sometime soon too!
Likewise! A great pleasure for me as well! Thank you for taking the time!
It was an immense pleasure.
