Rubinacci's roots in the tailoring tradition go back to his great-grandfather, who sold silk from the Far East. By the 1930s, his grandson Gennaro had opened a boutique in the center of Naples called London House, so named for his preference for cashmere, tweed and Shetland wool?and, of course, bespoke tailoring.
