Teach me on Zegna Napoli line please

[SpallaCamiccia]

I love neapolitan stuff but do not like most of Zegna suits due to sholder padding as Tropheo ones.


Is their Napoli line as Borrelli soft suits?


I have never seen those personally.

Thanks

Does the Napoli line still exist?

Trofeo is a group of fabrics of higher quality.

Have you tried the milano line ? Or the couture.

Their Napoli Couture line is simply called the Couture line now.

Ah ok thanks.

And How is that Coture line , is soft neapolitan like or more padded as the trofeo?

Trofeo is a line of fabrics, not a jacket cut. Here is a quote from a Zegna press release outlining the differences between the three main cuts:

Roma: is the international best-selling tailored business style, with a timeless neo classical silhouette. The jacket is cut with fuller definition and sits lower on the body, elongating the linear perspective of form and ideally fitted with slim silhouette pleated trousers. Milano: offers a fitted slimmer silhouette, suited for a more athletic form. It favours angular and narrow cut shoulders with a shirtsleeve construction, and a shorter jacket sitting higher on the body and is ideally completed by slender flat fronted low-rise trousers. Couture: designed with a powerful Italian style for great tailoring connoisseurs. Couture ‘Su Misura’ is a highly tailored look, with a waisted effect and slender silhouette, favouring softer natural shoulder construction and higher armholes. The rich Neapolitan tailoring tradition resonates with overlapping panels and the hand stitched curved ‘Barchetta’ chest pocket.

Ah thanks for the explanation. So the ones I tried last week was a Couture line with trofeo fabric , suposedly the most " neapolitan " one but still the shoulders were huge for my Spallacamiccia tastes and very overpriced for such as bad quality. I found this similar thread. http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=174856

I don't think Zegna is known for soft shoulders.

Depends on what you mean by huge. If you mean wide it depends on how your built.

Yes, that is why I like this forum. Yesterday a local old taylor wanted to sell my a big padded Zegna as a " napoli garment" but before that he wanted to sell me a dolce and a gucci garments as the best of the best... I tried them just for education, as I hate those designer brands as I know was 3 line quality overpriced. I told him , mr, this shoulders are huge, not my rounded style. All the tailors I have met are pedants, liars, ignorants and so and so... I wish to me met a decent one some day.
