More highlights from the amazing photo shoot.

2010-02-27T08:48:00.000-08:00

The "suite," as we call it. Available for private consultations and meetings.

Welcome...

2010-02-27T08:44:00.001-08:00

We our very proud to show everyone how we look this week. If your a follower you know we had a special guest stop by for a photo shoot. Don't we cleanup nice?

J Cole photo shoot...

2010-02-27T08:29:00.000-08:00

Source magazine graciously used the House to feature J Cole! We were overwhelmed with the kindness and wonderful comments by all that were apart of a fantastic afternoon. A big thank you to all who were there.

New pictures of "HoS"...

2010-02-27T08:17:00.000-08:00

We decided to show you our latest merchandising triumphs. The biggest deal being the custom fabric room. As a part of the overall House of Savoia experience we have designated an area for fabric books and select vintage fabric bolts.

A persian lamb collared...

2010-02-27T08:09:00.001-08:00

Topcoat. Classic details like a curly lamb trimmed collar make this elegant coat standout. A classic design seldom seen today.

Sleeve measurements.....

2010-02-23T06:12:00.000-08:00

Preparing the sleeve for finishing is a crucial part of any coat. Savoia is working on a customers' coat and doing just that.

On a steel horse I ride...

2010-02-16T14:08:00.001-08:00

A saddle? Why not? The red sold us.

The "Chair".........

2010-02-16T05:45:00.000-08:00

Yes folks we have added another touch to the House. Many of you may remember the 7th St shop. It had a barber chair. In honour of all of our long time clients; the chair is back!

Better than ever and classic as hell. A Belmont from the fifties!

Meassure twice and cut once...

2010-02-16T05:18:00.000-08:00

The lapel width being crucial to the balance of any coat/suit Savoia starts the shaping process and makes a notation on his work ticket.

Adam Perry.....

2010-02-13T09:06:00.000-08:00

Promises Promises' cast member being fitted for 1963 era specific trousers as part of a fantastic blue and black suit.

Our Norweigian friend...

2010-02-12T15:00:00.000-08:00

Eric, who is getting married this summer in Spain, is visiting us for a first fitting. Cream linen for day wear around Madrid and evenings in a super worsted grey on grey stripe.

Pattern and result....

2010-02-10T06:11:00.000-08:00

From the paper to the cashmere. Savoia does and oversees it all. We, at House of Savoia do not send paperwork off to some far-off location to "interpret" our measurements.

Savoia takes your measurements.

Savoia cuts your paper pattern based on his measurements.

Savoia lays out the fabric you chose.

Savoia meticulously goes over every inch of the cloth double checking for imperfections.

Savoia traces the pattern onto the cloth and then cuts your garment. Himself!

Brooks Ashamanskias.....

2010-02-10T06:02:00.000-08:00

What a totally fun and talented guy! If this is any indication of the talent level for Promises Promises it will be a smash!

Red buttonholes....

2010-02-04T11:14:00.000-08:00

You betcha!

House happenings....

2010-02-04T11:10:00.001-08:00

If the suit fits. Buy it!

The first cut is the deepest...

2010-02-01T09:00:00.001-08:00

Only the exacting eye of Savoia can guarantee a perfect pocket.

A wonderful collarboration........

2010-01-28T15:45:00.000-08:00

Toni-Leslie James and Savoia join forces again for the much anticipated Scottsboro Boys!
Circa 1931...

The Meastro......

2010-01-25T18:55:00.000-08:00

As our man Savoia preps and double checks his work. He adjusts the lapel to meet his eye.

Promises Promises.......

2010-01-22T12:08:00.000-08:00

Fabrics and linings ready for cutting and then fittings for our latest endeavour. The Broadway production of Promises Promises staring Sean Hayes.

Another awesome design day......

2010-01-18T13:54:00.000-08:00

Savoia is designing a custom topcoat pocket detail for one of our clients. The pattern is determined and then hand cut to the exacting eye of Savoia himself.

The man himself......

2010-01-09T13:21:00.000-08:00

Some new shots for Korean Esquire magazine.

March issue.

As we look today........

2010-01-05T15:09:00.000-08:00

An updated shot for one and all. Enjoy.

Firing up Babba.....

2010-01-05T07:29:00.001-08:00

We felt the day was right to fire up the bike. She looked so good in front of the House that we took a picture as well.

Top Coat consultation....

2010-01-03T15:52:00.000-08:00

The process of determining the style of coat is thus aided by classic imagery from various publications form our research library.

Custom details are chosen such as lining color and inside pocketing requirements; once agreed upon Savoia gets to work.

The placement of Babba........

2009-12-24T11:28:00.001-08:00

Lucy you have some splaining to do........

2009-12-24T09:33:00.000-08:00

Picking up Babba...

The suggestion of the day........

2009-12-21T16:31:00.001-08:00

Let's line your suit in something fantastic. Satin dots!

Our research library.....

2009-12-20T09:56:00.000-08:00

All part of the experience at the House.

Carefully chosen books with which to make your choice easier. Well, more interesting, at least.

More shirts to consider........

2009-12-16T14:21:00.000-08:00

Here is another shot of the new arrivals

in keeping with our black/red/white palette.

2009-12-16T14:19:00.000-08:00

To make the point further through imagery.

Wide spread collar french, slim fit shirts from our ready to wear collection at House of Savoia.

The world of shirts from the House..........

2009-12-13T10:28:00.001-08:00

Let us review......

2009-12-12T13:55:00.000-08:00

Here goes; our spread collar has a higher neck band which has been re-enforced to keep it, ahem up, as it were.

The long point collar is equally distinctive due to it's extra long collar points. Repetitive yes but I want you folks to get it.

Now it's time for cuffs. Our French is wider at three inches.

The convertible stove cuff is a gem because one can achieve the elegance of the aforementioned French cuff with a two button system and no cuff links.

It's tie time again......

2009-12-12T13:49:00.000-08:00

Consider the knit tie in silk. Easy to wear and always correct. They afford the wearer a textured alternative to the blade style tie.

As well as not competing with any bold striped suit or sport coat.

We offer our House of Savoia colors, red, white and black with a grey thrown in for good measure.

More shirts to consider........

2009-12-11T13:35:00.000-08:00

Remember that cuff I was talking about. French cuff, sort off, also notice the contrast stitching on the black sport shirt.

Shirts, shirts and more shirts........

2009-12-11T12:40:00.000-08:00

Subtle tone on tone looks can be achieve with a very elegant black shirt shown here. We like a hounds tooth tie in silver and black with this shirt.

Ready made custom......

2009-12-11T12:26:00.000-08:00

Gunmetal grey shirt paired with a slightly lighter colored silver tie with a heavy twill hand........

.....our House shirts feature a higher re-enforced neck band which holds the collar stance beautifully

......all are a slim fit and the one shown has a longer French cuff, black buttons and a fly front

......and Daisy wept.....

2009-12-10T15:50:00.000-08:00

......Jay your shirts! I have never seen such beautiful shirts!........

A classic wide spread collar featuring a stove -pipe cuff; which means a French cuff like finish with the twist of a two button closure.

I will take another picture to show you folks.

I'll take them.....

2009-12-02T09:36:00.000-08:00

Customer is seldom right.........

2009-11-24T12:20:00.000-08:00

.....but when he or she is they are really right.....light weight worsted with a ahem, fun lining..........oh yeah

Now it's up to us....

2009-11-23T03:14:00.000-08:00

We opened the store to great acclaim....lots of well wishers and friends came by....both Savoia and I took a much needed day off yesterday.....I walked the city from the "House" on the LES up to 77th and Columbus to see a Flea Market with recent pal Matthew Piazzi; an extremely talented actor/musician/impressionist. Thanks Matthew!
