Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Kiton dark blue pure plushy-cashmere houndstooth jacket, a luxurious interpretation of classic pattern rendered with exceptional softness and depth. The pure cashmere cloth has a rich, almost plush handle, giving the houndstooth design a softer, more fluid character than traditional wool versions. In dark blue, the pattern remains subtle and refined, offering texture and visual interest without excess. Cut with notch lapels, a 2.5-button closure, and patch pockets, the silhouette balances relaxed elegance with unmistakable sartorial presence, while the fully lined construction ensures a smooth, composed drape.
Discover the craftsmanship behind Kiton, where each jacket is shaped entirely by hand in Naples through a process that places fabric and proportion at the centre of everything. Working with pure cashmere of this quality demands extraordinary care, preserving its softness while maintaining the structure needed for a tailored garment. Handmade buttonholes reflect the house’s uncompromising standards, requiring hours of skilled artisanal work to achieve their precise finish. The result is a jacket that feels both indulgent and disciplined, combining the tactile pleasure of exceptional cashmere with the quiet authority of true Neapolitan tailoring.

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.
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
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.
Patch Pocket
Patch pockets, with their rugged functionality, were unsurprisingly adopted by the military for both shirts and jackets.
