The customer who goes there for a first visit is introduced in the fabric room: it is here that, in a ‘quite relaxed atmosphere, the foundation is laid for what in time could become a long-lasting relationship and mutual trust between the customer and the shirtmaker, demonstrating a clear will to wear a garment that reflects the oldest sartorial tradition.
