Cesare Attolini Blue Silk & Cashmere Windowpane Jacket

Discover the Cesare Attolini Blue Silk & Cashmere Windowpane Jacket. The cloth is silk and cashmere in a combination that handles the blue ground with a fluid, almost liquid quality, the fibres together producing a handle that is smooth and light without ever feeling insubstantial. The windowpane is double-lined in light blue, the overcheck introducing a faint tartan-like rhythm to the surface that gives the pattern more depth than a conventional single-line grid, the whole thing shifting slightly as the fabric moves. It is a cloth for the warmer months and makes no attempt to disguise the fact, breathable and easy against the skin in the way only a silk blend can be. The construction is half-lined, notch lapels and patch pockets keeping the silhouette firmly in the territory of the relaxed sport coat. Doppio impuntura runs along the edges in Attolini's characteristic double pickstitch, handmade buttonholes are worked with the unhurried precision the house considers standard, and the pattern is aligned across every seam with the kind of care that goes unnoticed until you look for it and then becomes impossible to unsee. A silk and cashmere jacket in this colourway from Attolini is the kind of thing that makes the case for Neapolitan tailoring without needing to say very much about it.
