The lounge of elegance
Details and Details characterize each of our creations.
A hand-made garment is the maximum expression of the Partenopean tailoring, the result of the experience of over a century of tradition for a unique elegance that every man must experience at least once in his life. Each garment combines lines and curves, which adapt and shape each other on shapes and volumes that adapt to the body, unique in its shapes and sizes.
MEETING WITH THE TAILOR
The tailor-made tailoring consists in the manual realization of a garment and is made up of different manufacturing phases that begin with the first meeting with the tailor, in which the customer expresses his needs and expectations on the requested garment. We then move on to the choice of fabrics, the customer measurement phase and the choice of the characteristics that will make up the garment. The tailor then goes on to the cutting, sewing and modeling phase of the bespoke garment requested, and then goes on to the customer’s intermediate test phases.
ROUND SHIRT SLEEVE
One of the main elements for a jacket of the Neapolitan tailoring is the “shirt” sleeve which gives the jacket a relaxed and casual look. The sleeve has a greater width than the armholes and so when you join the sleeve to the turn you will have precisely that effect defined “with a map” with the characteristic curls ( repecchia ) that give the jacket greater elasticity in movement.
HAND BUTTONHOLE
This type of processing is completely handmade by the tailor who, equipped with plaster, scissors, button and wire, studies the position of the buttonhole to the millimeter and is accurately finished with a very fine silk thread . This process ensures that every single buttonhole, as it is handmade, is unique and unrepeatable.
HAND STITCHING
The handmade stitching is a special stitch that decorates the details of a tailored jacket. This decorative element makes clear the care that has been taken in the creation of the dress, immediately making you understand the high value of a garment. This type of stitch keeps the structure perfectly stable respecting the external fabric with which the jacket is made, with the result of keeping the edges always flat and in order, and avoiding the formation of waves and unsightly curls. The stitching is made with a thread of the same color as the fabric or in contrast, for a look that stands out.
POCKET POCKET
A feature of the jacket is the so-called “ pinion ” pocket which, unlike the classic English style, is cut slightly concave on the upper edge, similar, thus, to a pot.
BOAT POCKET
The pocket is “boat” cut, ie with the upper part more pronounced and a visibly rounded shape that looks exactly like a boat. It is therefore not cut straight like the classic suit jackets. Distinctive feature of the pockets are the double internal and external seams.
HEAD FRAME
The tailored jacket is distinguished by the presence of the canvas, a reinforcing structure that can be made only by hand and not with the sewing machine, since, to fix the canvas correctly, the natural movement of the jacket must be followed with the most personalized points possible. The process also requires that it is wetted and left to dry for 24 hours, so that when ironed it will summarize the exact shape given by the tailor. The thickness of the canvas will also change the type of jacket, from softer to more rigid.
HAND LINING FINISHING
The lining, by definition, is the fabric applied to the inside of clothing such as coats, jackets and trousers. They are a functional part of the garment and serve to improve fit and comfort by allowing it to slide inside the garment. To obtain an elegant effect, which reflects the sartorial soul of a tailor-made garment, the lining of the jacket is rigorously hand-sewn both for an aesthetic speech and to allow more free and fluid movements.
