About Cesare Attolini

In 1930, Vincenzo Attolini began making jackets in Naples that were lighter than anything that had existed before. He replaced the stiff British construction with a supple, unstructured shoulder and a horsehair and linen canvas that moulds to the wearer's body. What he invented is what we now call the Neapolitan style.

His son Cesare founded a family business under his own name in the 1980s. Today, the third generation of Attolini works in the same way Vincenzo started: every suit made entirely by hand, every buttonhole sewn by Italian artisans in Naples. On average thirty hours per piece. Production remains deliberately limited. OGÉR is one of the few retailers in the Benelux where you can try on the entire collection and receive personal advice from trained style advisors, for example in our OGÉR store on P.C. Hooftstraat in Amsterdam.

"Vincenzo Attolini created the Neapolitan style. He made the jackets lighter, reduced their volume. And so, the jacket was born. The jacket we now call the Neapolitan jacket." -Massimiliano Attolini

Frequently Asked Questions about Cesare Attolini

The Neapolitan style was invented by Vincenzo Attolini in Naples. Its characteristic features are a light, unstructured construction with minimal shoulder padding and a horsehair and linen canvas. The jacket drapes softly and moves with the body, in contrast to the stiffer British model.

Full canvas means that the entire lining block of the jacket consists of a canvas made of horsehair and linen, instead of glued material. This canvas moulds itself to the wearer's body over time. A full canvas jacket improves with use and lasts for generations.

Each suit goes through an average of thirty hours of handwork by Italian artisans in Naples. From the Neapolitan shoulder to each buttonhole, everything is sewn by hand. Production is deliberately limited so that each piece receives the full attention it deserves.

Cesare Attolini works exclusively with the finest Scottish, English, Irish and Italian yarns: from the highest quality wool to the purest cashmere. Only materials that meet the standards of the Neapolitan atelier are considered.

Thanks to the full canvas construction of horsehair and linen, the jacket gradually molds itself to the wearer's body. Unlike fused constructions (which detach over time), an Attolini suit becomes more supple, personalized, and better fitting the more you wear it. It's an investment that increases in value over the years.
