Leonardo Bugelli, the most renowned Florentine shirtmaker, in his new workshop at Via Frà Bartolommeo 21/R. When I dropped by two weeks ago, we talked about that precious bespoke clothing and accessible ready to wear are blending. People may combine a 2000 euro bespoke sports jacket with 50 euro trousers. Old categories of highbrow and lowbrow mix. It is not an either-or situation anymore. In his Leonardo exemplifies the movement himself. I wrote about the phenomenon here too.
Tiemaker Raffaele Muro of Antonio Muro was also there. Unlike Leonardo, who prefers a little flamboyance, Raffaele is always soberly dressed in grey, white, beige or blue.

Do you know if the Leonardo Bugelli shirts are normally made with fused or non-fused collars, cuffs, and plackets?
Thank you,
Bryan
His collars and cuffs are fused. He can make them unfused but prefers to fuse them. Placket is not fused.

Hi Torsten,
Could I enquire if Mr Bugelli accepts customers who cannot speak Italian? I wish to visit Mr Bugelli but I can only speak English. Thank you.
Nel, he speaks English well. It will not be an issue.
Thank you very much Torsten, cheers.
