Disclaimers

Not advice

Nothing on Il Sartoriale is intended to be advice of any kind (financial, investment, legal, tax, business or purchasing), nor does it represent the opinion of, counsel from, or recommendations by Il Sartoriale or any of its affiliates, operators or partners.

No suitability

None of the information contained here constitutes a recommendation that any particular maker, garment, commission, purchase, transaction or strategy is suitable for any specific person. Your circumstances, budget, body and taste are yours; this site describes what exists, not what you should do.

Not a registered adviser

Il Sartoriale is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer or financial planner, and does not hold itself out as any of these. See also the publisher's-status clause in the Terms of Use.

Limitation of liability

All viewers agree that under no circumstances will Il Sartoriale, its operators, partners, officers, employees, affiliates or agents be held liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on information obtained here.

Consent by use

By visiting, using or viewing this site, you agree to its Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Prices are observations, not quotations

Every price on this site carries the date it was observed and whether it came from the maker (official) or from a named publication (reported). Prices frequently exclude tax, duty, exceptional cloth, extra fittings and shipping; makers raise them without announcement; and many houses will not quote at all before seeing a client. A figure older than twelve months is marked as such rather than presented as current. Confirm any price with the house before commissioning.

Data may be incomplete

Records are compiled from houses' own material, registries, museums, trade bodies, books and reporting by named publications; each page lists its own sources. Information may be incomplete, delayed, superseded or simply wrong. Always verify against the primary source before acting, and please tell us when something is wrong.

Sources named

Photographs are drawn from Wikimedia Commons, museum open-access collections and other sources whose licences permit this use; each image carries its creator, source and licence beside it. Land outlines on the world map are from Natural Earth (public domain). News headlines link to their original publishers and remain those publishers' property. AI features are provided using Anthropic's models. Details are on the sources page and the image licensing policy.

Assessment is opinion

Where this site expresses a judgement it is editorial opinion, follows the published assessment method, and is presented separately from the record. It is not measurement, and no ranked list here purports to be scientific.

Affiliate disclosure

The site currently carries no affiliate links. Should any be introduced, they will be labelled at the point of use and will never determine which makers are covered or how they are assessed. See the affiliate disclosure.

AI provenance

Portions of this site's content and data compilation are produced with AI-assisted research; figures are indicative and may be out of date. Always verify with primary sources.
