Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the refined power of this Cesare Attolini double-breasted suit, tailored from a dark blue blend of Super 120’s wool and cashmere in a richly detailed pinstripe. The fabric has a soft, brushed flannel-like touch, giving it warmth and texture ideally suited to fall and winter. The stripe itself is distinctive, with two white edges framing a subtle red line that adds remarkable depth. The jacket features peak lapels, handmade buttonholes, and a six-button Neapolitan double-breasted configuration that balances elegance with presence. The accompanying trousers are finished with side adjusters and an extended two-button tab for secure fastening.
This suit is a showcase of Attolini’s uncompromising approach to tailoring, where fabric and construction are treated with equal devotion. The Super 120’s wool and cashmere blend delivers both softness and structure, offering comfort while keeping a sharp silhouette. The jacket is cut and assembled entirely by hand in Naples, with artisans dedicating hours to shaping the lapels, sewing each buttonhole, and pressing the cloth so it sits naturally on the body. The trousers are finished with the same precision, their adjusters and extended tab designed for both practicality and style. The result is a suit that combines heritage, craft, and a striking fabric into a statement of Neapolitan sartoria. Discover the elaborated sartorial details below.

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.
Neapolitan Double Breasted Closure
There are many types of double-breasted jackets, though the most popular is the 6×2 button configuration – six buttons in two rows. The rule of thumb is that only one button should be closed and leaving the other one alone. Most commonly the middle button is closed and the lower button remains open. That being said, a Neapolitan double breasted jacket is cut in a way both the middle or lower button can be closed. Then again, button the lower button and leave the middle one alone. One feature of the double-breasted jacket that many may not pay attention to, is the presence of an inner button that isn’t seen. This button should be closed at all times as it helps to keep the jacket laying on the body.
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.
Kissing Buttons and Handmade Buttonholes
Also known as stacked buttons or waterfall buttons, kissing buttons are associated with Italian tailoring as Italian tailors make their jacket sleeve buttons in the kissing style. In this style, buttons touch each other and overlap one another. Handmade buttonholes; Even this step, apparently the simplest, is treated with an abundance of detail. Attaching the buttons is a job that requires patience and must be completed to perfection.
Flap Pockets
This was originally supposed to keep debris from getting into jacket pockets when worn in the country. Flap pockets occupy a sort of middle ground in terms of formality: they are the main choice for business suits, but they can also appear on sport coats as a testament to their casual origins.
the details of
the trousers
Single Pleated Front
Single-pleat trousers are a great mix of style and comfort. They became fashionable in the early 20th century and really took off after World War II. With a single pleat, these trousers offer a bit more room without losing that sharp look. They’re ideal for both formal and semi-formal occasions, providing a classic yet slightly modern appearance. Perfect for professional settings, they offer a comfortable fit while keeping things polished and elegant, balancing tradition with a touch of modern flair.
Extended Tab
The extended tab waistband is a classic detail that adds a touch of elegance to trousers. This style features an extra piece of fabric that extends beyond the regular waistband and fastens with a button or hook. The extended tab provides additional security and a neat finish, making it a popular choice for dress pants and tailored trousers. It creates a streamlined appearance, eliminating the need for a belt and allowing the waistband to lie flat against the body.
Turn-Up (Cuffed) Hem
The turn-up hem, or cuffed hem, is a classic style where the fabric at the bottom of the trousers is folded outward to create a visible cuff. This style originated with Edward VII in the late 19th century, who had his trousers tailored with cuffs to prevent them from getting muddy, sparking a trend among the fashionable elite. In the 1920s and 1930s, turn-ups became a symbol of wealth and sophistication, as having extra fabric was seen as a luxury. This association continued after World War II when wearing turn-ups subtly indicated affluence in an era of fabric rationing. Today, turn-up hems are a nod to their historical roots, offering a touch of classic elegance and enhancing the overall appearance of formal and tailored trousers.
