Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Corneliani Black Machine Washable Wool Suit, a modern interpretation of tailoring designed for effortless wear. Crafted from pure wool, the fabric offers ease, breathability and an exceptionally comfortable handle, giving the suit a relaxed character while maintaining a clean silhouette. The jacket is styled with notch lapels and patch pockets, and finished half lined to enhance its lightweight feel. The result is a softly tailored piece that moves naturally with the body, combining the polish of a suit with the comfort of knitwear.
While black suits are often reserved for the most formal or somber occasions, this version proves they can be styled with ease and personality. Worn with a fine long sleeve knitted polo and loafers, it takes on a relaxed, contemporary elegance. Paired with soft grey tones, the look becomes quietly refined, while accents in vivid honey hues add warmth and contrast. Machine washable and thoughtfully constructed, it is a suit designed for modern life, where practicality, comfort and understated Italian style meet in perfect balance.

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.
Soft Shoulders
Soft Shoulders, or lightly padded shoulder construction, gives a softer, more casual silhouette to a tailored jacket. Soft shoulders have little padding and follow the contour of the individual’s shoulder to accentuate the wearer’s natural features.
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.
Chest pocket - Rounded welt pocket
Also known as ‘barchetta’ Italian for ‘little boat’, it is so named because this pocket floats on the chest gently angled upward, just like the bow of a sailboat. These pockets echo the lively roll of a lapel that carries the spring of canvas and natural wool, unlike machine-made chest pockets that have a more stamped-out, rectangular shape and less life.
Darts
The tailors adds 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.
Horn Buttons
Horn buttons are prized for their quality. They are made with the finest genuine horn material, improving the appearance of the suit. And because they are so strong, you don't have to worry about them cracking or breaking.
Flap Pockets
Patch pockets, with their rugged functionality, were unsurprisingly adopted by the military for both shirts and jackets.
the details of
the trousers
Flat Front
Flat-front trousers are a go-to for a modern, clean look. They became popular in the 1960s and 1970s when fashion started leaning towards simpler, more streamlined styles. Unlike pleated pants, flat fronts have no extra fabric at the waist, giving them a sleek appearance that's perfect for a slimmer silhouette. They fit right into both casual and business casual settings, making them incredibly versatile. As a result, they are a favorite for anyone looking to maintain a contemporary vibe in their wardrobe.
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.
Plain, Blind Hem
The plain, blind hem is a sophisticated and subtle finishing technique that provides a clean and polished look to trousers. This type of hem involves folding the fabric under and securing it with stitches that are nearly invisible from the outside, creating a smooth and uninterrupted line. It is a popular choice for dress trousers and formalwear, where maintaining a seamless appearance is key. The plain, blind hem combines the simplicity of a plain hem with the elegance of hidden stitching, making it ideal for professional and elegant attire.
