Kiton Navy 3-Piece Vintage Wool-Flannel Chalkstripe Suit

Discover the Kiton Navy 3-Piece Vintage Wool-Flannel Chalkstripe Suit. Wool flannel at heavy weight is one of the most demanding cloths to work with in tailoring: the nap requires precise handling, the weight demands a construction that can carry it without pulling, and the finished result, when done correctly, has a presence and depth that no other suiting cloth can replicate. Kiton's construction at this level of weight and cloth complexity is where the house's investment in hand labour becomes most visible and most justified.

The chalkstripe runs through the navy flannel ground in the characteristic soft, slightly broken line that distinguishes it from the harder edge of a pinstripe. The stripe appears as though drawn in chalk on a dark ground, which is precisely the origin of the name, and on heavy navy flannel it carries a quiet authority that suits the weight and formality of the cloth.

This is a vintage Kiton piece with a slightly more pronounced shoulder than the house's recent production, reflecting the construction standards of the period. The shoulder line is defined without being exaggerated, and it gives the jacket a structured presence that sits correctly above the weight of the flannel.

The jacket closes at 2.5 buttons with flap pockets and full lining throughout. The single-breasted vest adds the third element that makes a three-piece suit a different proposition from a two-piece: the ability to remove the jacket without losing the formality of the outfit. The trousers are double-pleated, cut straight, and finished with a turn-up at the hem, the correct configuration for a suit of this cloth weight and vintage silhouette.

Heavy wool flannel in navy chalkstripe from Kiton's vintage production is a timeless combination executed at the highest level.

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.
