Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Sciamat Navy Bespoke Extrafine Wool Herringbone Jacket, a striking example of tailoring that challenges convention while remaining rooted in Italian craftsmanship. The deep navy herringbone cloth, woven from extrafine wool, offers subtle texture and depth, allowing the dramatic silhouette to take centre stage. At first glance, the jacket feels sculptural, with strong lapels and a pronounced waist that creates a bold hourglass shape, yet it retains an effortless fluidity that sets it apart from traditional tailoring.
Sciamat, founded by Valentino Ricci, is renowned for its “revolutionary classic” approach, where innovation replaces convention. The jacket is entirely unpadded, with its shape achieved through advanced cutting techniques rather than internal structure. The signature sleevehead, often described as a heightened spalla camicia, features a distinctive fullness that creates movement and character at the shoulder. High armholes and a carefully engineered cut allow for exceptional comfort, giving the jacket a light, almost shirt like feel despite its dramatic presence. Each piece is handmade in Italy, with Ricci personally involved in the cutting, resulting in a garment that feels as much like a work of art as it does a piece of tailoring.

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.
Heroic Shoulders
Sciamat is famous for a unique shoulder style, often described as a roped shoulder with "heroic" proportions, though it achieves this shape through heating and stretching the fabric rather than heavy padding.
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.
Sciamat Patch Pockets
These patch pockets are designed to convey a "revolutionary classic" and casual, yet highly sartorial, aesthetic, distinct from traditional English or standard Italian patch pockets.
Darts
The tailors adds 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.
Buttons and 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.
