[Special Feature] Where the discerning man goes: Don't miss the Neapolitan tailoring order event | THE GENTLEMEN CLOTHING AUTUMN & WINTER 2022
Naples is a city where tailors known as "sartoria" can be found everywhere, from bustling upscale boutique districts to deep, hidden back alleys. In these workshops, skilled veteran craftsmen and young foreigners from abroad, inspired by Neapolitan tailoring techniques and training in the city, continue to practice traditional skills every day. Even now, when workshops around the world are facing the threat of extinction, the good old craftsmanship lives on in Naples.
Isetan Men's has long offered ready-to-wear clothing from Naples, as well as a wide range of bespoke options. In September, they will be holding their first bespoke event in a while, featuring Vincenzo Attolini of Stile Latino and Pino Luciano of Orazio Luciano. In addition, they will be announcing the dates for additional bespoke events for each brand featured in "GENTLEMEN CLOTHING AUTUMN & WINTER 2022".
The directors are coming to Japan! These two brands are definitely worth keeping an eye on.

CESARE ATTOLINI
The "S Model" is one of the brand's signature masterpieces.

Its snug fit around the neck is another distinctive feature, making it incredibly comfortable to wear.
ALFONSO SIRICA

While employing traditional craftsmanship throughout, it is also renowned for its excellent cost performance. The soft, supple shoulder construction is particularly appealing.
Antonio Panico
This brand is run by Antonio Panico, known as the "last" tailor carrying on the authentic Neapolitan style. The clothes, which beautifully bring out the wearer's individuality and physique, are made with a soft construction, are extremely lightweight, and are so comfortable that you forget you're wearing them, like a second skin.
This item is available for order at any time.
DALCUORE
Founded in 1976 by the Neapolitan master Luigi Dalcuore, this brand represents the epitome of Neapolitan tailoring. It features classic Neapolitan details such as a three-button closure, a high gorge line, manica camicia (rain sleeves), and a barchetta pocket, yet it also exudes a charmingly modern feel.
This item is available for order at any time.
AMBROSI
Beyond the leg-lengthening effect achieved through skillful ironing, the unique tailoring, including the distinctive beltless waist and tapered cut, is also a major draw.
You can also order custom-made shirts from famous brands.
Maria Santangelo
Since its founding in 1953, Maria Sant'Angelo has been preserving traditional tailoring techniques passed down through generations of the family. They adhere to meticulous shirtmaking using only hand-stitching and sewing machines, without relying on large machinery, resulting in shirts characterized by their beautiful silhouettes and distinctive tailoring details, particularly in the collars and cuffs.
