Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Kiton turquoise cashmere, silk and linen mélange summer jacket, a vibrant expression of warm-weather tailoring that feels effortlessly at home by the Mediterranean. The turquoise tone has a sunlit clarity to it, rich yet relaxed, with the mélange effect adding softness and depth rather than flat colour. The blend of cashmere, silk, and linen creates a cloth that is breathable and light, with a dry, airy handle balanced by a gentle softness that keeps the jacket luxurious rather than rustic. The overall impression is one of easy elegance, the kind of piece that works as naturally on the Riviera as it does at an evening terrace dinner.
Discover the craftsmanship behind Kiton, where every jacket is fully handmade in Naples by master artisans with an uncompromising attention to detail. Handling a cloth this light and nuanced requires exceptional precision, ensuring the fabric retains its fluid drape while the mélange pattern remains balanced throughout the garment. The soft construction allows the jacket to move naturally with the body, preserving comfort without sacrificing structure. The result is a jacket that feels expressive yet deeply refined, capturing the relaxed sophistication of summer dressing at its very best. 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.
Two-Button Closure
The jacket has a two-button closure which keeps the profile neat.
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.
Flap Pockets
This was originally supposed to keep debris from getting into jacket pockets when worn in the country. Flap pockets occupy a sort of middle ground in terms of formality: they are the main choice for business suits, but they can also appear on sport coats as a testament to their casual origins.
