Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the distinctive character of this vintage Kiton double-breasted suit, tailored in an anthracite fine wool with a subtle micro herringbone that shifts like a shadow stripe under the light. The cloth is soft yet structured, lending a refined presence to the straight-fit silhouette. Designed with broad peak lapels and a low two-button closure, the jacket recalls a classic vintage aesthetic with a touch of relaxed elegance. Fully lined for structure and flow, it’s a rare expression of Kiton’s archival style. The trousers feature a double-pleated front and a straight leg, offering generous drape and timeless proportion.
Handmade in Naples by Kiton’s master tailors, this suit reflects the house’s highest level of artisanal dedication, hand-cut, hand-sewn, and shaped with the fluidity that defines Neapolitan craftsmanship. The low stance of the jacket and the fuller cut of the trousers create a silhouette that channels the elegance of a bygone era, reminiscent of the relaxed tailoring seen in Miami Vice with a distinctly Italian refinement. No longer available through standard retail channels, this piece preserves a style that is increasingly rare in today’s tailoring landscape. 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.
Double Breasted Closure
A 2-button double breasted configuration is a minimalist version of the classic double breasted jacket, featuring two visible buttons, usually with one functional closure placed low on the front. It maintains the wide overlap characteristic of double breasted tailoring but has a cleaner, more relaxed appearance, often seen in vintage or 1980s Italian designs that emphasize elegance with a softer, less structured silhouette.
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.
