After years of training as a cutter and tailor in his hometown, Giuseppe Seminara started his first shop in Florence, which was then moved to the current premises downtown, in Via de’ Calzaiuoli. Today, his son Gianni runs the tailor’s shop. The fabrics are all carefully selected. Once the measurements are taken, the geometrical pattern is drawn on fabric or canvas and is used as a sample. The pieces are cut and sewn together and ready for the first fitting. The jacket will always fit loosely, but will never be as unstructured as Neapolitan jackets, nor as stiff as the English ones.
