Orazio Luciano Beige Pure-Cotton Sartorial-Safari Jacket
50 IT / 40 US / Large
Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Orazio Luciano beige pure-cotton sartorial safari jacket, a refined Neapolitan interpretation of the classic sahariana, where function meets artistry. Crafted from pure cotton in a warm beige tone, it offers a breathable, structured feel ideal for warmer climates. The design is elevated by an extended tab on the notch lapel, allowing the jacket to be closed fully at the neck, echoing traditional safari styles. Bellows patch pockets, softly rounded in the manner of tasca a pignata, lend both volume and character, while gauntlet cuffs and a 2.5-button closure complete a silhouette that feels both practical and distinctly elegant. Subtle doppio impuntura pickstitching runs throughout, adding depth and a quiet sense of craftsmanship.
Discover the craftsmanship behind Orazio Luciano, where each garment is entirely handmade in Naples with an uncompromising dedication to sartorial tradition. As noted by Michael Jondral in Hannover, pieces like this reflect the purest expression of Neapolitan tailoring, where handwork defines every stage of construction. The doppio impuntura is executed with precision and patience, while the shaping of complex elements like the bellows pockets requires an experienced artisan’s touch. The result is more than a jacket, it is a wearable piece of art, combining heritage, function, and individuality in a way that feels both timeless and unmistakably personal.

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.
Neapolitan Buttonhole
The buttonhole preferred by tailors in Naples, Italy. The Neapolitan is a slightly shorter and thicker style of handmade buttonhole. It has a distinct opening at the end, which opens wider than any other buttonhole.
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.
Patch Pocket
The chest bellows patch pocket, unlike the curved *barchetta*, adds practical utility with expandable pleats for extra storage. Originating in military and hunting attire, it emphasizes functionality and rugged charm over refined aesthetics.
Neapolitan Darts
Neapolitan 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.
Gauntlet Cuff
A gauntlet cuff is an extended sleeve detail, typically finished with a fastening strap that wraps neatly around the wrist. Rooted in military and sporting heritage, it was originally designed for protection and adjustability, but today it lends outerwear—particularly safari and field jackets - a refined sense of purpose and understated character.
Bellows Patch Pocket
The specific term for this pocket style is a "bellows patch pocket," which is a flapped patch pocket that vertically opens and features expansion pleats on the sides resembling an accordion. Another common name for this type of pocket is an "accordion pocket."
