I want to know the name of the tailoring company which supplies the
pope with his basic clothing and cassocks.  I understand it is a small
Italian family company, but I want to know more about them.

Hi amacphail1,

Thank you for an interesting question.

Maximillian Gammarelli's family "Gammarelli's", a tailor shop in Rome,
has been providing vestments and ecclesiastical clothing for Popes and
Cardinals for more than 200 years.


Maximillian Gammarelli's family have been running the business for six generations

=========

"...the chosen outfitter is Gammarelli, tailors by papal appointment,
whose family has been dressing Catholic clergy since 1793. John Paul
is the shop's leading customer."

THE white skullcap in Gammarelli's window discreetly signals the
shop's status: tailor for two centuries to the popes and princes of
the Roman Catholic Church.
