DANIEL “DANNY” FEDELI
Highland Heights resident
Occupation: Executive vice president of an insurance consulting agency
Prefers to shop at: DAVIDE COTUGNO EXECUTIVE TAILORS
- Hobbies:
Golf, dinners with friends, laughing, coaching youth sports
- Describe personal style:
“I love clothes. I think the clothes that one wears says a lot about them. Putting on a custom-made suit with a great tie is like putting on a suit of armor for me. It gives me confidence to go out and cold call for business every day. When I walk into a room or meeting, the suit or coat of armor I am wearing gets attention. It sounds cliche, but you only have one chance to make a first impression.”
- Typical ensemble for work:
“I wear a suit and tie five days a week.”
- Typical ensemble for play:
“I do a lot of golfing, and I even I get my golf clothes custom tailored. In warmer months, you will find me wearing shorts but with a tailored look to them.”
Favorite designers/clothing lines: “I buy what looks and feels good. But some favorite tie lines are halo Ferretti, Ike Behar and Dolce Punta.”
- Must-have items in your closet:
“Clean, polished shoes, socks and ties that go with every suit or sport coat I own. Be. that complement every pair of shoes, custom sport coats with dress slacks, and jeans with a pair of crocodile or alligator loafers for the weekend.”
- Favorite piece you purchased lately:
“I have purchased in the last year and a half 19 suits, two tuxedo, five pairs of slacks and a few sport coats. My niece got married this Nut fall and Davide made me a midnight blue, custom-fit tuxedo with black accents. He did an exquisite job. It was James Bond-esque.”
- Customer experience:
“Davide comes to see me which is a nicer benefit from a convenience perspective. He works around my schedule and comes to my home or office. 1 am an absolute fanatic over the way my clothes fit and he will accommodate and do whatever he needs to do to keep someone like me happy. I’m very high maintenance. I want my clothes to fit a certain way, and Davide knows that. He strives to do whatever he can to accommodate.”
Describe your style in two to three words: “Bold, classy, dynamic.”
