Cesare Attolini Navy Fine-Wool Formal Twill Jacket
50 IT / 40 US / Large
Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Cesare Attolini navy fine-wool twill jacket, an exercise in pure sartorial restraint. Cut from a superfine wool twill, the fabric offers a smooth, refined surface with a gentle sheen that speaks to its premium pedigree. The deep navy hue is versatile and quietly authoritative, while clean design choices—like sharp notch lapels and minimalist jetted pockets—contribute to an overall silhouette that feels precise, uncluttered, and effortlessly elegant. Unvented at the back, the jacket maintains a pristine line that reads especially well in formal or evening contexts.
Handcrafted in Naples by master tailors, this jacket reflects Attolini’s commitment to understated excellence. The absence of rear vents isn’t just a stylistic decision—it enhances the jacket’s visual clarity, preserving the smooth drape across the back and creating a sleeker, more sculpted profile. Ideal for slimmer builds or occasions that call for elevated formality, this design choice nods to traditional Neapolitan tailoring with a touch of modern finesse.

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.
Imitation Buttonholes
These buttonholes are temporarily stitched, designed specifically to be easily removed by your tailor. This thoughtful detail allows you the flexibility to adjust sleeve length precisely before finalizing the buttonholes, ensuring a perfectly personalized fit. Pro tip: Always opt for handmade buttonholes after adjusting your sleeves - they elevate the elegance and craftsmanship of your garment.
Jetted Pockets
The first jacket pockets were sewn inside the lining or seams of garments, and are called “jetted” pockets. In their simplest form, they consist of little more than a slit. Suits that are the most formal, especially tuxedos, have no flap pockets altogether to give the piece a more streamlined look.
