New Dandy

Bologna


For those looking for a true made-to-measure Italian suit, an exquisite experience awaits at this fiercely artisanal tailor, where Leonardo and Gianluca will take you (and your suit) on a journey of old-school craftsmanship that forges a creative bridge between classic Napolese tailoring and English sensibility.

It's an investment in time (one month, with several fittings) and money (jackets start around €800, suits from €1400) but this fashion statement built by the hands of six tailors with a lifetime of experience will ensure you are the sharpest dressed man for miles. You can even visit the workshop and follow along with your suits progress. They also craft shoes, sweaters and coats.
