I was recently given a copy of the lovely documentary about Neapolitan tailoring, O Mast, an extract from which can be seen above. For the first time it is now available at the Drake’s store on Clifford Street in London, having been previously only available through The Armoury store in Hong Kong, or its website. Those two brands should tell you that good friend Mark Cho is behind the distribution of the documentary, and he tells me they are working on another to be released next year. Good news indeed.
Written, produced and directed by Gianluca Migliarotti, O Mast is a beautiful hour-long wander through the ateliers of Naples, with the best of the breed interviewed on everything from local culture to the relevance of different fittings. If I was a tailor, I would like to be filmed like this.
It’s a match made in heaven: well-photographed profile of tailoring to a 1950s jazz soundtrack.
Simon,
Its this documentary O Mast avaliable to be purchased from Drake’s store and do you know how much it will cost?
Regards
Andie

Simon,
You recently commissioned a tweed fabric with Breanishtweed company, I have received s swatch of the fabric and it looks wonderful,and I have put in my order.
Will you be doing the same for a linen fabric as well? I understand Ermenegildo Zegna makes nice fabrics.
Regards
Andie
Hi Andie,
The Breanish project was based on the fact that it is small enough to make a unique pattern in very small quantities, the special nature of Breanish’s construction as a whole that I love, and the fact I was visiting. I can’t see see Zegna making something so small or unique.
