Cesare Attolini Black Wool & Cotton Gabardine-Twill Covert Coat

Discover the Cesare Attolini covert coat in black wool and cotton gabardine-twill—a masterful reinterpretation of a British classic through the lens of Neapolitan tailoring. The fabric has a crisp, dry hand and a tightly woven structure, offering both durability and refined texture. Traditional details include slanted flap pockets with a ticket pocket and a soft velvet undercollar—an homage to its equestrian roots. The silhouette is clean and structured, yet fluid enough to layer effortlessly over tailoring or knitwear.

Originally designed in the late 19th century for horseback riding and hunting, the covert coat was crafted to withstand the rigors of the countryside while maintaining a polished appearance in town. Its name derives from the French couvert, meaning a thicket—a nod to its sporting heritage. Attolini’s version honors this legacy while elevating it with hand-finished buttonholes, precise stitching, and a refined fit shaped by artisans in Naples. The gabardine-twill fabric, developed in the late 19th century, adds a touch of technical sophistication, offering water resistance and breathability. This is outerwear that bridges history and modernity with quiet authority. Discover the elaborated sartorial details below.
