Hello,
I recently purchased a Sartorio sportcoat and am wondering about the label. I searched the archives and learned that Kiton purchased the label a couple of years ago. This certainly seems to be accurate, becuase the Sartorio sportcoat had unfinished sleeves and the buttons came in a Kiton pouch. So I know the coat was made by Kiton. My question is how the Sartorio line differs from the regular Kiton line. It may be that the line is geared towards a younger audience. The coat is a drop 8 and is perhaps made of a somewhat more stylish material (a dark blue with incredibly faint stripes--can't tell that there are stripes from more than a couple feet away). I'm certainly no expert on Kiton (I don't own any), but I can't imagine that the quality is less than the regular Kiton line (of course, I could be wrong). It is an incredibly beautiful jacket and seems to be made to the same standards. Absolutely no shoulder pads, hand stitching everywhere, puckered sleeveheads. Does anyone have any knowledge of this label?
Thanks
