Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Orazio Luciano Taupe & Light Blue Wool & Silk Checkered Jacket, a refined Neapolitan sport coat distinguished by its soft colour palette and elegant textural balance. Crafted from a luxurious blend of wool and silk, the cloth combines the natural drape and structure of wool with the subtle luminosity and lightness of silk. The taupe base is enriched by delicate light blue check patterning, creating a sophisticated interplay of tones that feels both relaxed and sartorially expressive. Designed with notch lapels, a classic two-button closure, and patch pockets at the chest and sides, the jacket maintains the effortless versatility associated with southern Italian tailoring. The half-lined construction further enhances breathability and fluid movement, ideal for transitional and warmer climates.
Orazio Luciano’s tailoring is rooted in traditional Neapolitan craftsmanship, where softness, hand-finishing, and natural proportion take precedence over rigid structure. Handmade buttonholes and carefully attached mother-of-pearl buttons reflect the workshop’s dedication to artisanal detail, while the lightly constructed interior allows the wool and silk cloth to move naturally with the wearer. The result is a jacket that balances understated elegance with relaxed sophistication, embodying the quiet refinement that defines the Luciano sartorial tradition.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Patch Pocket
Patch pockets, with their rugged functionality, were unsurprisingly adopted by the military for both shirts and jackets. The lower patch pockets on a Neapolitan jacket are modeled after the tasca a pignata style, and when done in its purest form, are easily recognizable with a rounded-bottom and a unique shape
