On a steel horse I ride...


A saddle? Why not? The red sold us.

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

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...

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.

Pattern and result....

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!
