Kiton Navy & Green Cashmere, Silk Cotton & Vicuña Bolivia Windowpane Jacket

Discover the Kiton Navy and Green Cashmere, Silk, Cotton and Vicuña Bolivia Windowpane Jacket, quite possibly one of the softest pieces Sartorialista has welcomed to its rails. The undertone is a deep navy, overlaid with a lighter blue and soft green double lined windowpane that plays with perception, at certain angles reading almost as a deep forest green. A subtle speckled character within the weave lends movement and a touch of playfulness to what is otherwise an exceptionally refined composition. Tailored with notch lapels, a softly rolling 2.5 button closure and patch pockets, and fully lined for a composed drape, it is finished with handmade buttonholes that quietly affirm its artisanal pedigree.

The presence of Bolivian vicuña is what elevates this jacket into truly rarefied territory. Vicuña fibre is sourced from the fleece of the vicuña, a wild South American camelid that cannot be domesticated and must be carefully shorn in controlled, government regulated roundups known as chaccu. Bolivia, like neighbouring Peru, is one of the few countries where vicuña populations are protected and managed under strict conservation programs. The fibre itself is extraordinarily fine, typically measuring around 12 microns or even less in diameter, making it finer than most cashmere and among the most delicate animal fibres in the world. Its natural colour, a warm golden fawn, is often preserved or carefully blended, as in this case, to enhance depth without overpowering the base cloth.

While Peru is historically the largest and most internationally recognised source of vicuña, Bolivian vicuña is equally protected and prized, with fibre quality determined more by individual fleece characteristics and grading than by national border alone. Both countries operate under international conservation agreements that limit supply, ensuring rarity and traceability. What distinguishes Bolivian sourced fibre in certain contexts is the specific high altitude habitat and genetic lines of the herds, which can influence fineness and yield, though both Peruvian and Bolivian vicuña are considered among the finest fibres available globally. When blended with cashmere, silk and cotton, as here, the result is a cloth that combines the ethereal softness and thermal efficiency of vicuña with added structure, resilience and subtle sheen. For the true connoisseur, it is not merely about luxury, but about provenance, scarcity and the tactile experience that only such fibres can deliver. Discover the elaborated sartorial details below.

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.
