The basketweave construction draws cashmere, silk and linen into a surface that sits between dark blue and dark purple, the white melange threads lifting the depth of the ground colour and giving the cloth an almost textural shimmer in natural light. The weave itself is the breathability: the open interlacing of three fibres allows air to circulate without sacrificing the weight and presence that cashmere brings to even a summer cloth. Notch lapels, a 2.5 button front, functioning sleeve buttonholes and a half lining are the marks of a jacket built to move with the body in heat, fully handmade throughout in the Attolini tradition. The buttons, however, are what set this piece apart: cast metal, bearing a family coat of arms and engraved with the words \"Banco Central de Reserva del Peru 1974.\" The Banco Central de Reserva del Peru is the country's central bank, established in 1922, and in 1974 operated under its Executive President Emilio G. Barreto during the reformist military government of General Juan Velasco Alvarado, a period of significant economic activity and international financial engagement. Custom institutional buttons of this kind on bespoke Neapolitan tailoring point to one conclusion: this jacket was almost certainly commissioned for a senior official of the bank, most likely during one of the European financial summits or IMF meetings that brought Latin American central bankers to Rome and Naples in the early 1970s. Whether ordered directly on the Via Chiaia or through a Neapolitan intermediary, the result is a jacket that carries its history in the most literal way possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCesare Attolini remains one of the great names of Neapolitan tailoring, the house founded in the 1930s and credited by many with defining the soft, unstructured aesthetic that Naples exported to the world. A jacket like this, fully handmade and dressed in the buttons of a Peruvian central banker, is exactly the kind of object the house was built to produce: exceptional in itself, and made more so by what it carries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cesare Attolini","offers":[{"title":"56 IT \/ 46 US \/ Extra Extra Large \/ Blue \/ 60% Cashmere \/ 32% Silk \/ 8% Linen","offer_id":58490512638284,"sku":"SA02592","price":848.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6187\/1105\/files\/7E5C4CA0-D563-46AD-A4E8-FB58FA80F0F6.png?v=1787303270","url":"https:\/\/sartorialistamsterdam.com\/products\/cesare-attolini-blue-cashmere-silk-linen-basketweave-summer-jacket","provider":"Sartorialista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
