Italian suit combines in a sublime way the art and elegance of a garment full of tradition. Although its history goes back to 1930, the Neapolitan jacket of today is not very different from the one created by the famous Italian tailor Vicenzo Attolini and which is characterized by its lower level double-breasted than normal. In the 30s, Attolini used his sensibility to design and manufacture a coat with an unusual and extravagant line never seen before. Lightness and comfort were its strong points, as well as its impeccable seams, elaborated as if it were a second skin. A trend which was also rooted by the tailor Peppino Miniello, another prominent name of Neapolitan fashion in its origins.
The so-called Prince of Wales is, along with tweed, one of the most famous fabrics or materials that exist in the universe of men's suits. This finish became trendy in the 20s as one of the favorites of Edward VIII of the United Kingdom, known as Duke of Windsor, when he was Prince of Wales. This whole range of more classic and sober fabrics is typical of English tailoring, born on the mythical London’s Saville Row. The English suit was, at its origin, armored and structured, mostly in colors such as grey or dark blue. This suit was composed with interlined jackets, which gave substance to the piece and differed from the Italian ones, with a shoulder pad.
