A Legacy of Lightness

Neapolitan tailoring traces its roots back to 18th century Naples, Italy. Unlike the structured, military-inspired styles prevalent at the time, Neapolitan tailors embraced a lighter, more fluid approach. This was partly due to the region’s warm climate, but also reflected a philosophy of comfort and ease of movement. Neapolitan tailoring prioritized natural fabrics like lightweight wools and linens, allowing the garment to drape beautifully on the wearer’s body.
