The workshop owned by Massimo (on the left in the picture) and Lorenzo Cifonelli

is located a stone’s throw from the Champs-Élysées; there is a world of difference between their atelier and

the commercial premises on the street.

The history of the cutting system

Thefirstmanuals fortailorsappearedinthe16thcenturyandwere initiallyconcernedwithcuttingtechniques; they containedno specific instructions formakingup garments or the art of cutting toshape.Theoldestrelevantdocumentof thiskinddatesback toH.Niedermayr theYoungerandwaswrittenbetween1544and1568.TheSpanish Libro de geometría práctica y traçabyJuandeAlcegafrom 1580 and the French Le Tailleur Sincère byLeSieurBenoistBoullayfrom1791arebothpurelycollectionsofcuts.

ChristophoroSerrano’sGeometría del arte de vestir, which appeared in 1619, is deemed to be theearliestsystematicapproachtothedifficultiesposedbythedrawingupofcuttingplans,butmost tailorstooknonoticeofitandcontinuedwiththeirmethodsoftrialanderror.Cutsthathadprovedtheirworthwereusedagainandagain,withagreateror lesserdegreeof success.The lengthandwidth of an already existing item of clothing would be measured using strips of paper or threads withtheunitsindicatedasmarksorknots.Tailorswerenotyetabletomakeanindividualcutfrom circumference measurements—such as the chest—to accommodate the body’s three-dimensionalshape. Paintings andoriginal garments that survive from the17thand18th centuriesnonethelessdemonstrate that a method based on measurement by eye, experience, and estimation could certainly produce very pleasing results; the artisanal techniques of the tailorwere sufficient for the fashion ofthetime.

The measurements and details of clients were recorded in weighty account books. The volumes held at ANDERSON & SHEPPARD contain the names of several gentlemen of historical importance.

Bespoke shirtmakers offer a range of collar shapes, such as these at TURNBULL & ASSER. However, only a genuine linen tailor can make a collar that suits a client’s face and personality perfectly.

Swiss fabrics by ALUMOIt is a trade secret that the most exquisite shirt

fabrics are made in Switzerland. If in doubt, just ask—but be sure to ask the best shirtmaker’s.

ALUMO’s idyllic Swiss surroundings match the style of production. The weaving

mill produces environmentally friendly, sustainable goods. The “finest Swiss

cotton” is green.
