Discover the Cesare Attolini Brown and Blue Wool, Silk, Linen and Cotton Gun Check Jacket, a piece that makes the gun check pattern its entire proposition and delivers on it completely. The ecru undertone is the detail that sets this apart from more conventional readings of the pattern, the warm offwhite ground giving the brown and blue check a freshness and lightness that a darker base cannot produce, the four colours working together with a natural warmth that feels entirely organic rather than arranged. The gun check itself is bold and confident, the large-scale pattern requiring exactly the kind of cloth quality and construction precision that Attolini brings to it, the four-fibre composition of wool, silk, linen and cotton giving the weave a depth, breathability and subtle sheen that simpler cloth combinations cannot achieve, each fibre contributing something specific to the wearing experience. Patch pockets, notch lapels and horn buttons keep the construction honest and unencumbered, the 2.5-button closure completing a front that lets the cloth and the pattern do the work entirely on their own terms.
A bold gun check in wool, silk, linen and cotton on an ecru ground, made entirely by hand in Naples by Cesare Attolini, is a jacket that asks for confidence in the wearing and returns it without reservation. Four fibres in a single cloth is a Neapolitan proposition that only a house with this depth of material knowledge attempts seriously, and the result is a jacket that wears better than any single-fibre equivalent could manage across the occasions it will be called upon to serve.

Sartorial Details

Full Canvas Construction
A sartorial jacket - or coat - needs an interlining that will help give it shape and mold it. Canvas gives the item a tailored and crafted look. In short, it breathes life into it. Purely technical, canvas is made from either horsehair, wool, mohair or camel hair. It could also be a mix of them all, with varying thickness and weight. The canvas is stitched to the jacket, often by hand, thus making the canvas pieces 'floating' in the middle of the inner and outer cloth. This gives the jacket added flexibility. The canvas runs from the upper parts, all the way down to the end of the jacket. After you wear your canvassed suit for a while, it will begin to take your shape and look incredibly natural.

La Spalla Camicia
Spalla Camicia roughly translates to 'shirt sleeve' in Italian and is a shoulder style created and popularized by Neapolitan tailors. The name 'shirt sleeve' was so coined due to the characteristic shirring found at the sleeve's head where the fullness of the larger sleeve collapses. Rather than having the head of the sleeve turned back and stitched inside, the head is lapped under and stitched along the top.

Handmade Buttonhole
Handmade buttonholes are made using a chain of knotted loops called purl stitches that make them strong and visually distinctive. It takes about five seconds to sew a regular buttonhole with a machine – a single handmade buttonhole takes about 10 minutes to sew.

2.5 Button Closure
The ‘tre bottoni stirato a due’, also known as the three rolling on two lapel style, is perhaps the most infamous characteristic of the Neapolitan style jacket. The top button and buttonhole are ornamental, so are left unbuttoned. As the lapel rolls down it elegantly folds over the top button and stops just 4 cm above the second button creating the distinct roll of the lapel the style is known for. As it is intended to remain unbuttoned, the top buttonhole is actually made inside out so the beautiful side will still be visible.

Barchetta Chest Pocket
The barchetta pocket is often thought to be a tailoring detail exclusively from Italy. The word “barchetta” is Italian for “little boat.” It describes how the pocket floats on the chest, gently angled upwards, like the bow of a sailboat.

Neapolitan Darts
Neapolitan master tailors add two darts - think of them as pinched seams - to ensure the jacket’s body achieves a slim silhouette. The process, called mezzo punto riprese, is done entirely by hand.

Unfinished Sleeve
The buttons have to be set and the buttonholes have to be created by a tailor. The (horn) buttons are enclosed within the left inner pocket.

Tasca a Pignata Patch Pocket
Patch pockets, with their rugged functionality, were unsurprisingly adopted by the military for both shirts and jackets. The lower patch pockets on a Neapolitan jacket are modeled after the tasca a pignata style, and when done in its purest form, are easily recognizable with a rounded-bottom and a unique shape
