Rugged Old Salt

The Liverano Silhouette

The time has come again, we are due to receive our ‘grand-pere’ and mentor, Antonio Liverano, in store from the 23rd to the 26th of this month.

With over 62 years experience as a tailor, Antonio has forgotten more about tailoring than I will ever know. Trends that we look at with nostalgia he saw in their infancy, from the hat wearing, heavy flannel 50’s with it’s wide legged trousers and and deep double breasteds to the current resurgence of classic Italian. Maintaining his aesthetic, and being the flag bearer of the Florentine dartless front has earnt him praise and continued patronage of some of the industries best - he really is the tailors tailor.

We have been working with Antonio for a few years now, and he has become something like family. His visits to Hong Kong are as much a cultural experience for us as a commercial one - perhaps even more so. He brings the romance of old-world Italian tailoring along with his bunches of vintage cloth, and we take as much as we can of both.

Bookings are filling up quickly, so for appointments, email myself, Jake or Alan at info@thearmoury.com.
