Although Neapolitan tailors are known for this ‘shirt sleeve’, as it is rarely done elsewhere in the world, they also regularly make suits with the seam turned in as on a regular suit. A reader was asking about this recently as regards Caliendo, another Neapolitan tailor I have featured. About half of the jackets on the rail at Caliendo I saw during this visit had a regular shoulder, half the spalla camicia. Solito was nearly all the latter. Businessmen sometimes prefer the regular shoulder because it is cleaner and more international.

Nice beginning jacket and exqusite roll !
What can you tell us about the inner construction (canvas, etc…) ?
Pretty standard two layers of canvas, chest and full length, just light weight.
Scent of change in the air, i gotta go and buy some hot stuff:)
What, in your opinion, has made this jacket so versatile for you? I would assume the dark colour works like navy, and the checks pick up a lot of other colours. I ask because there is something similar, dark green Glenn check base with a dark blue over check, in the recent caccioppoli bunch which I’m tempted by.
