The perfect Italian cut, the ultimate level of finishing, exciting colors and styles... You can be seen in suits from these five brands. Text: Lior Gijrath
Fantastic fabrics are a given for Italians. Kiton goes one step further. This is mainly about striving for perfectionism, down to the smallest detail. For example, consider ultimate silk for the lining and faro silk yarn to sew on the buttons by hand. A suit from Kiton receives the ultimate level of finishing: the attention paid to a single breast pocket alone is so great that a tailor can only use ten by hand per day. Craftsmanship par excellence.
The name Kiton is derived from 'chiton', a
garment worn by the old
Greek aristocracy and is a symbol of it
quality and social distinction.

The story goes that Cesare Attolini was the first brand to make the Italian suit different from the hitherto common English suit. The line of the English suit was the benchmark and was not contradicted. Cesare Attolini kicked this holy house over and created a completely unique cut. The ultimate Italian cut. Truly an experience.
Well-known actors such as Dustin Hoffman, Antonio
Banderas and Al Pacino wear tailor-made suits
by Cesare Attolini.

This French brand has its flagship store in Paris near the Grand Palais and has been making a name for itself since 1880. The fourth generation is now in charge and has turned the suit with the 'window pane' check into an art form. The lines run so perfectly that you wonder how it is technically possible. The suits are in demand worldwide and are available in stores in Beverly Hills, Hong Kong and Tokyo, among others.
Cifonelli was founded in Rome. Then in 1926 a hole in the Parisian
amrkt was spotted, it moved to Rue Marbeuf. Designer
Lorenzo Cifonelli: “Paris is less known for its tailor-made suits
for men, but the men who are here have a very strong focus
on the details.”
