Kiton Navy Wool & Cashmere Double Breasted Twill Jacket
50 IT / 40 US / Large
Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Kiton navy wool and cashmere double-breasted twill jacket, a refined expression of Neapolitan elegance rendered in a luxuriously soft yet impressively lightweight fabric. The twill weave adds a subtle texture to the deep navy hue, enhancing its richness without overwhelming the eye. Styled with peak lapels and a distinctive double-breasted cut, the jacket features Kiton’s signature Neapolitan construction—allowing either the middle or lower button to be fastened, depending on your style. Opting for the lower button offers a nod to classic tradition, while the middle lends a slightly more relaxed stance. Half-lined for breathability, it wears effortlessly across seasons.
Handcrafted entirely in Kiton’s Naples atelier by a single master tailor, this piece exemplifies the brand’s unwavering dedication to sartorial artistry. The blend of wool and cashmere ensures a remarkably soft hand and fluid drape, while fine hand stitching throughout—including the lapels, buttonholes, and interior finishing—creates a garment of exceptional nuance and integrity. This is tailoring at its most elevated—quietly confident, deeply luxurious, and unmistakably refined. 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.
