Kilgore Trout - Cleveland

The United Nations of Tailoring is in Session

Our tailoring department is led by Giovanni Del Buso, from the Campobasso region of Italy. His skill with a suit is matched only by his wife Carmela’s talent at the stove. (Her Oggi Ristorante is one of Cleveland’s best kept secrets). Womens’ department tailor Rosetta was raised on a little street near the duomo of San Agata, a Sicilian town where everyone learned a trade – and the earlier, the better.

Val and Faina, lovebirds for over 20 years, come to us from Azerbaijan. Tailor David was born in Israel. Anna left her native Uzbekistan just three years ago, destined for Cleveland. Our presser David is the only local addition to the international melting pot.

Collectively, these men and women are Kilgore Trout’s very own U.N. – working together, trading laughs, sharing skills, pleasing clients, and sharing quietly in the American dream. For all this and more, we say: Thank you. Mille Grazie. Rahmat. Sayol. Grazzii. Toda Raba!
