Kiton Light Marbled-Grey Pure Cashmere Sartorial Winter Suit

Discover the Kiton Light Marbled-Grey Pure Cashmere Sartorial Winter Suit. The cloth is pure cashmere of a weight that sits at the boundary between suiting and coating: substantial enough that wearing it carries the warmth and presence of an overcoat while remaining, in cut and construction, firmly a suit, the fibre providing an insulation that no wool at comparable weight can match. The grey is marbled rather than flat, the yarn carrying tonal variation across the surface that gives the cloth a quiet depth and movement, the cashmere nap absorbing light in the manner that distinguishes it from any worsted alternative. A suit in pure cashmere of this weight is a rare proposition at any level and an extraordinary one at Kiton's: the handmade buttonholes are worked with the unhurried precision the house has always demanded, and the corozo buttons, made from the tagua nut rather than plastic or horn, identify this as a vintage piece from a period when corozo was the standard at this level of Neapolitan tailoring before the material became increasingly difficult to source. Notch lapels, a 2.5-button closure and flap pockets govern the jacket, the construction floating and soft throughout in the Neapolitan manner. The trousers are single-pleated with belt loops and a turn-up at the hem, the fuller cut in keeping with the weight of the cloth and the suit's overall character. The original linen pocket square with red dot embroidery accompanies the suit, the detail as considered as everything else.

Kiton has been making suits of this kind in Naples since 1956, and a pure cashmere winter suit at this weight with original accessories intact is the kind of piece that arrives on the secondhand market very rarely and in this condition less so.

Kiton was founded by Ciro Paone in 1968 in Arzano, near Naples. Ciro Paone was born in Naples in 1933; he came from a family of fabric dealers who had been operative for five generations – which have now become seven generations. For more than 3 decades, Ciro’s passion gave rise to the Kiton project. With the founding of Kiton, Ciro turned his greatest passion into a vocation, elevating tailoring from a modest artisan craft to an artistic expression: the love for beauty, the love for beautiful garments. His entire existence focuses on two fundamentals: passion and quality.
