Cesare Attolini Navy Pure Cashmere Timeless Neapolitan Overcoat

Discover the Cesare Attolini Navy Pure Cashmere Timeless Neapolitan Overcoat. The cloth is pure cashmere of the kind that makes the case for the fibre all by itself: the navy is deep and even, the hand exceptionally soft, and the fabric has enough weight to move with the body rather than against it without ever feeling stiff or constructed. Attolini applies the same Neapolitan approach to this overcoat that defines their jackets, which is to say the spalla camicia shoulder is present here too, the sleeve gathered at the head and set with that characteristic forward roll that keeps the silhouette relaxed regardless of what is worn beneath. A 2.5-button closure, flap pockets at the hips, horn buttons and handmade buttonholes are all accounted for, and the coat is fully lined throughout. Inside the collar, a small hanging chain allows the coat to be suspended properly on a hanger or hook during travel without stressing the cloth at the shoulders, a detail small enough to overlook and considered enough to remember. Attolini has been making coats like this in Naples for generations, and the navy cashmere overcoat remains one of the clearer arguments for buying one properly once rather than several times less so. This is the longer version of that argument.
