Luigi Borrelli Nisida Suit Navy

A navy suit on Borrelli's Nisida model: a single-breasted jacket, with one row of buttons, and matching trousers. Nisida takes its name from the small island in the Gulf of Naples.

The three-roll-two front has three buttons, but the lapel rolls softly over the top one, so it closes on the middle button. The jacket is tailored in Naples: the shoulder, collar, buttons and breast pocket are sewn by hand, as is every buttonhole, while machines are kept for the seams they make stronger. Patch pockets, sewn onto the outside, give a navy suit a softer, less corporate character.

The jacket also works on its own with grey trousers or jeans. Wear the suit with the white Oxford shirt and a knitted tie for the office, or with a fine roll-neck for dinner. It has a regular tailored fit; take your usual suit size.
