Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Cesare Attolini Castagne Brown Pure Cashmere Patch Pocket Jacket, a refined expression of Neapolitan elegance crafted from one of the house’s most prized materials, originally retailed per M. Bardelli Cashmere Cotton and Silk. The castagne brown tone, a rich chestnut hue with natural depth, enhances the luxurious character of the pure cashmere cloth. Exceptionally soft and fluid, the fabric drapes effortlessly across the body while offering a gentle, understated warmth. The silhouette is relaxed yet precise, framed by classic notch lapels and defined by patch pockets at both the chest and sides, lending the jacket a versatile, slightly more casual attitude.
True to Cesare Attolini’s sartorial philosophy, the jacket is shaped through soft construction and meticulous hand finishing rather than rigid structure. The pure cashmere ensures a beautifully natural fall, allowing the garment to move with ease while maintaining an elegant line. Handmade buttonholes and carefully selected horn buttons complete the piece with quiet refinement. It is a jacket that reflects the essence of Attolini, where exceptional material and effortless tailoring come together in a garment of understated sophistication.

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
