Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Kiton Black & Grey Cashmere, Silk & Stretch Micro-Pattern “Cipa” Jacket, an embodiment of modern elegance with geometric precision. The cloth, woven in a refined micro-pattern of interlocking black and grey tones, offers a subtle optical texture that reads as almost geometric from afar. The blended cashmere and silk enrich the fabric with softness and a discreet sheen, while the touch of stretch ensures mobility and comfort. Notch lapels frame the chest with classic restraint, and the jacket’s structured build channels contemporary tailoring with a hint of sartorial bravura.
At the heart of the “Cipa 1960” line lies Kiton’s dedication to innovation rooted in tradition. “Cipa” refers to the Milan atelier - Centro Italiano Prodotti Alta qualità - founded in 1960 to elevate Italian tailoring through pioneering techniques and modern fabrics. In this lineage, the “Cipa” jacket benefits from decades of experimental craftsmanship: lightly structured shoulders, high armholes, and a soft half-canvas interlining that supports without stiffness. Despite the tailored architecture, the piece offers ease of wear, owing to the stretch component and Kiton’s continuous refinement of drape and fluidity.
Originally purchased at Bergdorf Goodman, the legendary New York department store synonymous with luxury and exclusivity, this jacket carries a provenance as distinguished as its make. Since 1899, Bergdorf’s has curated the finest in fashion, often serving as the American home for the world’s most prestigious designers. Its Fifth Avenue flagship remains a destination for connoisseurs seeking exceptional garments, where the emphasis is on craftsmanship, rarity, and service of the highest calibre. Fully handmade in Kiton’s Arzano workshop, the jacket undergoes meticulous artisanal processes: lapels shaped and rolled by hand, sleeves set with intuitive precision, and buttonholes sewn one at a time. Every seam aligns perfectly with the geometric micro-pattern, resulting in a piece that marries architectural clarity with the warmth of human touch. 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.
Darts - Mezzo Punto Riprese
Kiton’s 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.
Patch Pocket
Patch pockets, with their rugged functionality, were unsurprisingly adopted by the military for both shirts and jackets.
