The more formal side of casual: what should I wear at a Sicilian wedding?

Early in 2022 I had the unexpected pleasure of receiving an invitation to a Sicilian wedding in mid-June. I accepted, and, needless to say, it was a marvelous experience. Since this was my first time attending a wedding in Sicily (or Italy for that matter), I was very curious about the state of wedding attire.

Luxury

The geopolitics of luxury revisited

Nearly two years ago I wrote about the increasing likelihood of a geopolitical shift disrupting the upward growth curve of the luxury industry.

Fitting for a three-piece suit with maestro Antoli

Fitting for a three-piece suit with maestro Antolino. This one is a light tobacco linen. The maestro has an uncanny ability to discover the right balance and proportions for your body. I gave him the cloth, we chatted a bit, and he observed enough to see how the cloth should look on my body. Photo credit & special thanks to @ottomtdf

The problem with sneakers is that they are like plastic bags. Most consumers treat them like single-use plastics that end up in the trash when they wear out. I only know of a couple of sneakers that break this cycle of waste because they are designed to be resoled (i.e. recraftable). My pair of Allen-Edmonds Canyon sneakers is one of them (The other is @goldengoose). If put in a rotation, you can make sneakers truly sustainable and infinitely reusable.

Dinner with a history-obsessed friend at Lumia, an excellent restaurant in Palermo with tranquil courtyard seating. He is the only person I know who has ever laid a laurel wreath at a royal medieval tomb 😉 Hint: the recipient of this wreath is the same person referred to on the pistachio cake.

I prize my visits with maestro Arrigo. Why? Because I give him beautiful cloth and he cuts and makes jackets with gorgeous shape and line. Then we have a refreshing conversation over a Messinese granita on the state of the world. For years I have deeply valued our chats and value them even more in our troubled times.

Thanks to Sicily’s abundant sunshine and the mineral rich soils around Mt Etna, Sicilian tomatoes simply taste more savory and tangy compared to other tomatoes I’ve tasted. I always look forward to the tomatoes served at breakfast at B&B Liberty 900 in Catania, as well as their delicious homemade pistachio cake. Looking forward to my next visit!

The future of Sicilian tailoring looks very bright

The future of Sicilian tailoring looks very bright indeed. I had a marvelous time visiting Sartoria Maltese in Vittoria this month. Leonardo is the promising young tailor who heads this exciting new sartoria in southern Sicily. We had an excellent conversation although in this video his hands are doing all the talking. My warmest thanks to Leonardo for his amazing hospitality.
