Custom Tailoring to Match Southern California’s Summer Weather.
Our available Neapolitan style deconstructed tailoring is the perfect tailoring style for Los Angeles summers. Less construction allows for more range of movement. It uses less layers of lining and canvasing and combined with our light weight open weave fabrics creates a tailored suit or jacket with exceptional breathe-ability.
Neapolitan “Shirt Shoulders”- No padding is used to create our light weight suit jacket. A standard feature of southern Italian custom tailors Neapolitan shirt shoulders create comfort for the hot months while maintaining a tailored silhouette.
Light weight, un-padded, horse hair chest canvas- The lightest weight horse hair canvas is used to give the suit jacket body with out added bulk.
Available half and 1/4 lining- Less layers equals better breathe-ability. Our half and quarter lined jackets allows us to maximize the comfort of the open weave summer fabrics.
Fabrics that Breathe. Hand Curated.
What does a summer suit fabric look like? Its high quality wool, made in Italy, featuring an open weave. Some times called Fresco Wool or Tropical Wool, Its so light weight that a jacket made of these fabrics weigh 50% less than a standard suit jacket. Its so breathable that when held up to the light its almost see through. (FYI when fully tailored, its not see through) The open weave allows for air to circulate and sweat and heat to dissipate.
300+ Fabrics Available. The largest selection of summer weight fabrics for custom suits and custom sport coats.
