Sleevehead’s Guide to Sicilian Tailors – 3rd Edition

The latest update of Sleevehead’s Guide to Sicilian Tailors has finally landed as an e-book. This is the third edition of SGST3 which was first published in 2011.

I did not think that I would write a third edition, let alone a second edition in 2017. After writing the second edition, I kept an open mind but felt that the second edition was likely the final version of the guidebook.

My thinking was that future updates would be captured on Sleevehead Forum, which I’m continuing for the time being. I’m very happy that I kept the idea of a third edition in the back of my mind despite my interests and priorities leaning in a different direction.

The result is the most complete survey of Sicilian tailors currently available. SGST3 has more than double the content of the previous version (260 pages, 300+ photos) covering more than 30 tailors and artisans in 10+ cities and towns across Sicily and Italy.

It offers my fullest explication to date of the unique achievement of Sicilian tailoring. 

Stay tuned for a hardcover version coming this fall.
