Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the charming eccentricity of this Kiton jacket, tailored in pure cashmere with a vintage green Prince of Wales check that radiates playful sophistication. The palette is anchored by a soft green undertone, overlaid with a vibrant overcheck in red, mustard yellow, and light blue. It evokes the spirit of tartan with a lighter, more refined hand. Cut in Kiton’s vintage silhouette, it features notch lapels and corozo buttons, lending both heritage appeal and subtle texture. The result is a jacket that feels as spirited as it is luxurious, ideal for those who appreciate tailoring with personality.
Crafted entirely by hand in Kiton’s Neapolitan workshop, this jacket exemplifies the brand’s deep commitment to artisanal excellence. The pure cashmere cloth is woven exclusively for Kiton, offering extraordinary softness while retaining a gentle structure that suits the jacket’s nostalgic cut. Each detail, from the hand-attached sleeves to the precisely rolled lapels, reflects the quiet rigor behind Kiton's tailoring philosophy. Even the corozo buttons, made from natural tagua nut, are selected for their soft matte finish and ecological character. 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.
2.5 Button Closure
The ‘tre bottoni stirato a due’, also known as the three rolling on two lapel style, is perhaps the most infamous characteristic of the Neapolitan style jacket. The top button and buttonhole are ornamental, so are left unbuttoned. As the lapel rolls down it elegantly folds over the top button and stops just 4 cm above the second button creating the distinct roll of the lapel the style is known for. As it is intended to remain unbuttoned, the top buttonhole is actually made inside out so the beautiful side will still be visible.
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.
Corozo Buttons
Corozo buttons are made from the nut of the tagua palm, known for its natural grain and ivory-like appearance. Durable and eco-friendly, they were especially popular in classic tailoring from the early to mid-20th century—widely used from the 1920s through the 1960s—before plastic became dominant. Today, they're a subtle mark of quality and heritage in fine menswear.
Jetted Pockets
The first jacket pockets were sewn inside the lining or seams of garments, and are called “jetted” pockets. In their simplest form, they consist of little more than a slit. Suits that are the most formal, especially tuxedos, have no flap pockets altogether to give the piece a more streamlined look.
