Kiton - Neapolitan Tailoring
In 1968 Ciro Paone, a man born of five generations of fabric workers and imbued with a passion for elegance and beauty, endeavored to revitalize the world’s understanding of the pleasure and perfection of Neapolitan tailoring. In founding Kiton, Ciro Paone elevated the craft of tailoring to a medium of artistic and aesthetic expression. The quality of clothing, traditional craftsmanship, and passion upon which Kiton was built inspires the company today. Each garment created by Kiton honors Ciro Paone’s vision and speaks to Neapolitan tradition and character.
The Kiton Matador and Lia Jackets
Kiton Matador Jacket
Entirely hand sewn, this bolero style jacket by Kiton features an exquisite blend of cashmere, wool, linen, and silk. Combined, these materials create an elegant and smooth herringbone fabric, exclusive to Kiton, with a subtle sheen that seems to welcome the evening as much as the light of day. There is no form of closure to this piece and yet it manages to maintain its form and drape ever so perfectly. The hand sewn seam around the middle of the jacket together with the subtle darts that fan out from the middle are details that further enhance this flattering piece. Its Satin lining, roped shoulders, and no pockets maintain a clean, unaffected look. As expected, the Kiton Matador Jacket fits impeccably true to size. Made in Italy.
