Emerging in the 1930s, Neapolitan tailoring reimagined the formal English tradition that had shaped European fashion. While English tailoring emphasized structure and formality, the unique climate and lifestyle of Naples demanded a lighter, more comfortable approach—without compromising elegance.

Neapolitan tailors revolutionized their craft by removing heavy padding and stiff canvases, to adapt the jacket to Mediterranean lifestyle. This innovation brought its own challenges: without traditional structural elements, the jacket’s drape was affected.

To overcome this, tailors reduced the volume of the jacket and refined the cut,  resulting in garments that seamlessly combined practicality and style. A  jackets that felt like a second skin. 

Today, the Neapolitan jacket is celebrated for its unmatched versatility and comfort. 

Lightweight and stylish, it is ideal for a variety of settings—from the office to travel, and from casual outings to formal events. 

A true embodiment of timeless craftsmanship, the Neapolitan jacket remains a cornerstone of effortless sophistication for the modern gentleman.
