Tagliatore - Men's Clothing: Complete Brand Guide
Tagliatore is an Italian contemporary tailoring brand founded in Martina Franca, in Puglia, by the Lerario family. The name is a family nickname: grandfather Vito cut and sewed shoe uppers, his son Franco moved into tailoring, and in 1999 Pino Lerario launched the Tagliatore brand, bringing Apulian artisan tradition into international menswear. A family story now in its second generation, with an entirely Italian production line.

What makes Tagliatore unique
Tagliatore is not Italian tailoring in the Neapolitan or Milanese sense. It is contemporary Apulian tailoring, a precise stylistic identity born from the landscape, colours and culture of Southern Italy.
Fit as obsession. Fit is the most appreciated value by michidamato.com customers. Tagliatore has revolutionised the men's jacket with the introduction of wide lapels and harmonious slim fits, proportions calibrated to enhance the male silhouette without constraint. A Tagliatore jacket drapes well from the first wear.
Contemporary tailoring. Tagliatore produces Italian tailoring with a contemporary stylistic sensibility, not the traditional ceremony suit, but a garment with personality and character. The colours, fabrics and workmanship reflect an updated and recognisable taste.
Distinctive chromatics. Pino Lerario has introduced innovative colour combinations into Italian tailoring: brick, red, lobster red, capable of enlivening the fabric without losing elegance. It is one of the brand's most recognisable stylistic signatures.
Apulian roots. Martina Franca is the starting point of every Tagliatore collection. The landscape, colours and innate elegance of Apulian culture: that simple formality breathed even during a brief walk outdoors, are the inspiration that Pino Lerario transfers into his garments. This is the authentic source of the brand's stylistic identity.
Textile heritage. Pino Lerario's encounter with Nino Cerruti, one of Italy's greatest fabric creators, profoundly influenced Tagliatore's fabric culture. The selection of materials reflects this influence: quality, refinement and coherence with the contemporary luxury positioning.
