clothing shop The
Armoury (which regu-
larly hosts Caid trunk
shows at its New York
City and Hong Kong
locations). “Imagine the
clothes of Miles Davis,
Frank Sinatra, and New
York’s Mad Men in the
’60s, made bespoke for
you to the highest pos-
sible standard.”
Spigola, the labelof master bespoke
shoemaker Koji Suzuki,
is worth the trip to the
city of Kobe for those
seeking a classic cap-
toe Oxford or penny
loafer made to their
exact specifications.
Says Cho, “Koji’s shoes
have a strong Italian
flavor: sleek and low-
slung, reminiscent of
a roadster. He has an
excellent sense for pro-
portion, elevating even
his simplest designs
into something special.”
While in Kobe, the
bespoke traveler should
also make an appoint-ment at Nackymade,
the atelier of Naoki
Nakagawa, who with
his wife, Mocky, makes
custom eyeglasses from
start to finish.RESOURCES:
