Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Cesare Attolini Navy Pure Cashmere Shadow Stripe Sartorial Winter Suit, a commanding cold weather proposition cut from indulgently soft pure cashmere. The deep navy ground is enriched by a subtle shadow stripe that reveals itself gently as the light shifts, lending the suit depth without overt contrast. The jacket is shaped with broad peak lapels and a classic two button closure, balanced by flap pockets and a fully lined interior that provides structure and warmth through the season. Handmade buttonholes add a discreet yet unmistakable sign of true sartorial pedigree.
The trousers are tailored with a single pleat and a straight fit, finished with a traditional button rise closure and a wide leg opening with turn ups that enhances the suit’s elegant drape. Originally purchased through Tincati, the piece reflects the discerning eye of a retailer known for championing uncompromising Neapolitan craftsmanship. As with all Cesare Attolini tailoring, it is handmade in Naples, where master artisans dedicate hours to shaping the canvas, refining proportions and ensuring the soft shoulder and fluid line that define the house. The result is winter tailoring at its most assured and quietly luxurious. 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.
Two-Button Closure
The jacket has a two-button closure which keeps the profile neat.
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
Pre-owned, not loved - yet. The buttons have to be set and the buttonholes have to be created by your local tailor. The (horn) buttons are enclosed within the left inner pocket.
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.
Belt Loops
Belt loops are the most common type of waistband found on trousers, providing the option to wear a belt for both style and practicality. Typically spaced evenly around the waistband, belt loops are a versatile feature that can accommodate a wide range of belt styles and sizes. This traditional waistband design is found in everything from casual jeans to formal dress pants, making it a timeless and adaptable option for any wardrobe. Belt loops offer the flexibility to customize your look while ensuring a secure fit.
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.
