Kiton Royal Blue Cashmere, Silk & Linen Checkered Lungo Jacket

Discover the Kiton Royal Blue Cashmere, Silk & Linen Checkered Jacket. The cloth is a three-fibre blend that handles the royal blue with a luminosity that a single-fibre fabric could not achieve: cashmere provides the softness and the drape, linen keeps the hand dry and the weight honest for warmer months, and silk threads through the weave introducing a faint sheen that catches the light across the surface and gives the royal blue a depth that shifts as the jacket moves. The check is woven into this blend with the kind of tonal subtlety that separates a cloth designed for summer from anything heavier, the pattern present without being emphatic, the overall reading being a rich, complex blue that reveals its geometry up close. Half-lined, the jacket breathes freely and sits on the shoulder with a lightness that fully-lined construction rarely allows, the cloth falling from the chest and sleeve with its full natural drape. Patch pockets at the hips, a 2.5-button closure, horn buttons and handmade buttonholes complete the details, each one handled with the unhurried attention that Kiton's Neapolitan workrooms consider entirely standard.

Kiton has been making jackets of this kind in Naples since 1956, the house applying the same handwork to a summer cloth as to its heaviest winter suiting. A royal blue cashmere, silk and linen jacket is among the more persuasive arguments for that consistency.

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.
