Do Clothes Make The Man Or Does The
Man Make The Clothes?
By Steve Fiske
What a man wears speaks volumes
about his sense of fashion or professional
success. That old adage, “dress
for success” applies as much in the
casual and
humid environment
of
Florida as it
does in cosmopolitan
New York
or Paris.
Unfortunately,
here
in the land
of chicken
wings and tank tops, there is a plethora
of professional men who wear ill fitting
suits, made with shoddy craftsmanship.
I sometimes wonder if some of the
gentlemen, I observe stepping out of a
Mercedes or Bentley can really afford
what they are driving because their
apparel does not reflect the same quality
and standard of the vehicles they exited.
One wonders how they made their
money and why they didn’t
invest in an image consultant
along their ascent to
success.
Women enjoy seeing a
well dressed gentleman. A
man in a well tailored suit
is still a head turner. When
a man’s clothes fit like a
glove, the fabric, workmanship
and design all convey
that this is a successful
man.
Every professional man should have
at least one tailor made suit in his wardrobe
and none is better at designing
men’s suits in the Tampa Bay area than
, Angelo De Pergola in Palm
Harbor. Angelo has been popular with
celebrities, corporate executives and
professionals for over five decades.
His loyal customers still come from all
over the country to have him work his
magic as he has
done since he
was a small boy
growing up in
Italy. He started
learning his
craft at the
age of 9,
working for
a renowned
Italian
men’s wear
company. By the time that he
was in his early 20’s he was well
on his way to becoming a Master
Tailor. His effervescent personality
and warm heart endear him to his
customers. He is an anomaly, a
caring craftsman in a contemporary
world of mediocrity, where discount
often wins over quality. Angelo’s
work is not wasted on the average, his
time is spent working with
men and women who have
fashion sense and an appreciation
for quality.
Angelo uses quality materials
and constructs each of
his creations with diligent
care and attention, he says,
”how well your clothing
performs and how it lasts is
determined by the materials
used in making it and
by it’s construction”. His
garments are produced for exceptional
performance, durability, and longevity,
by using only the finest fabrics from the
most reputable mills. “I take great care
in cutting, shaping and sewing, with
much of my work done by hand”, he
says with pride. Angelo works his magic
when it comes to fit, which is one of
the major advantages of having one’s
garments custom made. He is meticulous
about his fittings and considers not
only one’s physical measurements, but
their posture, shoulder slope, torso proportion,
wrist and bicep size, but much
more. He takes his customers through
several fittings, to perfect the exact best
final custom fitting.
It is no wonder why
so many luminaries
come from all over
the country to have
their clothes designed
and tailored
by Angelo. Angelo is
one of the best of the
best.
His unmatched
tailor and designer’s
skills are not just
confined to men’s
wear. Angelo has a
long and successful
history of designing for stylish women.
He produces distinguished business and
dress attire for professional and successful
women. The foundation for his
custom made designs are the quality of
goods and the knowledge which comes
with his lifetime of experience. He also
provides alteration services as well as
designs custom made slacks and dress
shirts.
His creations are investments that
may return many more dividends. He
also carries a high quality line of ready
to wear Italian made suits, sport coats,-
formal wear, slacks and beautiful ties.
