Brioni

_______________

Gene Hiller is proud to carry Brioni Italian Suits. Brioni opened its first shop in Rome in 1945. Master Taylor Nazareno Fonticoli and his business partner Gaetano Savini brought their fine Italian suits to America in 1954. Their debut in New York was a great success, and now exclusive stores across the country carry their fine clothing. Brioni suits are hand-sewn by expert tailors who must serve a 4-year apprenticeship to learn how to work with the 5,000 different fabrics used to make these superior Italian suits. It takes a tailor 30 to 35 hours to create this amazing garment! Brioni is the suit preferred by the famous fictional Agent 007, James Bond, as well as notable celebrities such as Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, Clark Gable, Rock Hudson, Anthony Quinn, Robert Wagner, John Wayne, Robert Kennedy, and Nelson Mandela.

Canali

________________

Canali is one of the first labels that come to mind when you think of fine Italian clothing. Brothers Giovanni and Giocommo Canali opened their tailoring shop in Italy where they became known for their fine workmanship. The 1950s saw an expansion of the business as the second generation contributed to Canali’s growing reputation and sophistication. In the 1970s Canali went international, and by the 1980s 50% of all Canali products were exports. Although Canali is known more for fine Italian suits, they also manufacture shirts, ties, belts, and shoes. Let the experts at Gene Hiller Menswear fit you in a fine Canali suit.

Pal Zileri

In 1970, Mr. Barizza and Mr. Miola founded the fashion house Gruppo Forall, better known under the brand name Pal Zileri. Resisting the industry trend to send manufacturing off shore to save money, Pal Zileri has kept their fine clothing production and expertise in Italy. The Pal Zileri White Label Collection boasts a comprehensive line of comfortable yet sophisticated suits, ties, shirts, and casual wear designed for men with an active lifestyle. The fashion experts at Gene Hiller Menswear can help you assemble a wardrobe from the Pal Zileri collection that will serve any occasion.
