The classic neapolitan tie is lightweight, with a three fold construction and untipped. Silk ties are printed, not woven, though there are many exceptions to this rule.At the moment, trousers are cut narrowly with cuffs that do not show much of a break and you will always find belt loops even though it may be worn with suspenders as well.Patch pockets are more informal and suit the slightly more chaotic Neapolitan lifestyle better than jetted pockets or flap pockets in my opinion. Even in October, it may get very hot in Naples and as such a single breasted suit will wear a little cooler because there are no overlapping layers of cloth. The front is often single breasted with 3 buttons and 4 cuff buttons.Naples is located by the sea and as such this maritime color is omnipresent and the men I met had their first suit all made in navy- and about 50% of their wardrobe consists of some form of navy garment! While these aspects are essential to virtually all Neapolitan jackets, there are a number of other features that are also typical today, but are by no means essential: The canvas is soft and the jacket minimally lined.The Neapolitan jacket is made by hand and only marginal work is done by machine.The front dart extends all the way to the bottom hem to create a more elegant look in the front.The back is cut with a good amount of waist suppression and flaring side vents creating a very elegant, yet dynamic look.The Italians call that grinze, we call it shirring. Typically, the sleeve is bigger than the sleeve head resulting in little wavy fold in the area of the sleeve next to the sleevehead.Basically, these two terms explain how the fabric seams of the shoulder and sleeve are folded, see below. Regular suits often come with con rollino shoulder, sport coats often with spalla camicia. The shoulders are soft and natural, without any or very little padding.The collar is a bit higher than normal, with a gorge that is a bit higher than traditionally in England but nothing extreme.Now, that aside, the Neapolitan jacket has a number of hallmarks. Instead, it is the materialization of the tailor’s artisanal handwork that creates this one of a kind coat, created by an individual, on an individual, for an individual, and it is this combination that creates the sole of a suit or a jacket. Now, you may wonder how it is possible for a jacket to have a soul, but Neapolitans of style don’t consider their jackets to be made of just of a piece of cloth. Three Neapolitans – Three Single Breasted Navy Jackets The Neapolitan Jacket & Suitĭuring my conversations, I learned one particularly notable idea that stood out among many: the most important part of the jacket is it’s soul.
