"Very impressive, well written and balanced advice. All in all, this is the definitive guide to the subject, all the information any man will need." - Bruce Boyer

"An extremely serious and thorough guide, the first of its kind to report on bespoke Sicilian tailors, offering not only well-documented descriptions of each house, but also all you need to know to plan your trip." - Hugo Jacomet, Parisian Gentleman

"Extremely valuable...well written, informative... In my opinion it is an absolute must for anybody who contemplates having bespoke garments made in Italy." - Gentleman's Gazette

Sleevehead’s Guide to Sicilian Tailors (SGST) is the first and only comprehensive guide exploring the largely undiscovered world of Sicilian bespoke tailoring. It explains how Sicilian tailoring differs from other modern tailoring strategies and why it deserves to be known as the third major school of Western tailoring after London and Naples.

SGST profiles more than 30 tailors and artisans across Sicily and Italy including Milan, Palermo, Catania, Messina and Syracuse and smaller towns such as Acireale, Marsala and Ragusa, as well as other artisanal shops and services.

Logistical and travel details are also included to plan your own sartorial trip.
