High-quality Neapolitan-style ready-to-wear jacket with excellent soft fabrics and comfortable fit, but poor value at retail price. Best purchased second-hand at significant discounts.
- Very soft and comfortable to wear
- Lightweight fabrics with minimal wrinkling
- High armholes allow good range of movement
- Excellent fabric selection with luxurious blends
- Hand-sewn details including collar and buttonholes
- Quarter-lined construction shows skill in finishing
- Bold, unique color options
- Good pattern matching
- Hides fit imperfections well
- Extremely expensive at retail price ($3,900-$5,600)
- Not fully handmade despite high cost
- Runs small - requires sizing up from US measurements
- Lightweight fabrics not durable for decades of wear
- Machine-stitched pique details despite hand work elsewhere
- Pointed sleeve edges wear faster than rounded corners
- Tight sleeves restrict upper arm movement
