Another feature common to the Neapolitan cut is the taglio di Vesuvio, which is an upside down, volcano-shaped opening in the front of the jacket, with lapels on either side.Originally Posted by voxsartoria
Artful Italians often wear a necktie around their neck, and dangle the body of the tie in the center of the taglio di Vesuvio, in full public view.
Another thing that Neapolitan jackets often have are pockets, some inside, some outside.

Here in HK, you can get Chipolitan, Flopolitan, Andernacci, CaraDeBoisse etc. Name it, the guys off Nathan Road will make it.

I see your eyes are more trained than mine. I wouldn't have been able to point these features out. Must be the sprezzatura of Neapolitans wearing their stuff as if it was meant to be worn that way. They make it all look so natural.

The pictorial that I want to see is how different streets in Naples have their own street style, and different cuts AM or PM depending on the position of the sun.Originally Posted by voxsartoria
This I know: the most common regional feature of Neopolitan jackets is the single long back dart, going down the center of the back from the middle of the collar to the hem. Look for it.

Two steps away from HF is this shop, dropping in to say hello to The Sartorialist's favorite person to shoot in Florence.
Ha. I recognized his facial hair before reading who it was.

Bringing this back on topic:
Fitted
I originally had some doubt about the button point being a bit on the high side but was reassured by Antonio that it is correct for me. The finished jacket proved his point, the button point is perfect IMO.
