| Giuseppe "Joe" Cotugno, Executive Tailors' Master Tailor, began his tailoring apprenticeship in Baranello, Italy at the tender age of nine. By age thirteen, he was already making bench made suits and at age eighteen had a full staff of accomplished young tailors (see "Peppe e compagni" picture below, third person standing). After moving to England in 1960, he made clothes for some of the major custom tailoring stores in England, winning many prestigious awards including: |
| |
 |
- “The Tailor & Cutter Magazine Exhibition Gold Medal for fine Tailoring” for Best Sportcoat
- “The Strongbow Trophy” for Best Jacket
- The “Coronet Trophy” for Best Entry in Jacket Class
- “The Wain Shiell Trophy” for the Best Entry of Lightweight Fabric Clothing

| In 1978 he immigrated, together with his family, to Cleveland, Ohio to start the next chapter of this tailoring odyssey. Today he oversees all aspects of Executive Tailors tailor shop, personally inspecting each garment to ensure quality and fit. |
