ALE Tailored Clothingby Alessandro Albanese × Tack and Tweed
We are proud to announce our exclusive collaboration with Alessandro Albanese's custom line!
About the line
Alessandro Albanese is an equestrian designer, and ALE Tailor Made is his made-to-measure line. His tailors cut and sew each coat from Italian fabric in a workshop just outside Turin.
The coats in our collection are mostly ALE showroom samples; a few were first made for a private client. Each is one of one, in a single size and a single color, and every listing tells you which kind of coat it is.
“Made in Italy”. For me, it’s not just a label. It means that the pieces I create are not just fashion items, but eternal garments inspired by the extraordinary beauty of Italy.
Questions
What is ALE Tailor Made?
ALE is the made-to-measure line from equestrian designer Alessandro Albanese. Each ALE piece starts with a consultation and measurements. It is then cut and made from Italian fabric by his team of tailors in a workshop on the outskirts of Turin, Italy. Every ALE coat in our collection is made in Italy.
What is a sample coat?
Most coats in this collection are ALE showroom samples. A few were first made for a private client. Either way, each coat exists once, in one size and one color, so when it’s gone, it’s gone. Each listing says which kind of coat it is.
How do ALE sizes run?
ALE coats use Italian (IT) sizing, and each listing shows the IT size in its title. The coats available now run from IT 36 to IT 52. Italian sizes don’t line up neatly with US sizes, so the measurements are your best guide.
Are the coats measured?
We list laid-flat measurements on select coats, right on the product page. Depending on the coat, they cover pit to pit, shoulder, sleeve, back length and waist. If the coat you like doesn’t show measurements, email us at hello@tackandtweed.com.
Can ALE make this coat in my size?
Each coat here is one of one, so we can’t reorder it. ALE does make riding coats to measure, starting with a consultation and measurements. ALE’s site says its Iconic jacket comes in “50 colours for a total of 12000 combinations.”
Can I return an ALE coat?
Yes, ALE coats follow our standard return policy, unless the listing is marked Final Sale:
- Email hello@tackandtweed.com within 2 weeks of the day your coat is delivered to request a return.
- The coat needs to come back in the condition we sent it, with every tag still attached.
- A coat cannot be returned if it has been altered in any way.
- After we receive and inspect your return, we refund your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days. You can also choose store credit with a $5 thank-you bonus.
- Return shipping is paid by you.
One ALE coat is currently marked Final Sale (IT 42 Blue “The Nude”), so it can’t be returned.
One of one, while they last.
