The details worth knowing

Sartorial details, explained.

The traditions of craftsmanship

As you build your garment, or explore our collection, you’ll come across terms like Camicia shoulder, Milanese buttonhole and peak lapels. Whether you're new to tailoring or perhaps just curious, here's what they mean – and why your Style Advisor might recommend them.

A Milanese buttonhole

Named after the city of Milan, the Milanese buttonhole is sewn entirely by hand using silk thread. Originally developed to reinforce the lapel, today it’s one of tailoring’s most admired signatures.

"It's often the first detail another tailor notices. Most clients don't spot it immediately – but they love knowing it's there."
Ricardo Wemerman

A camicia shoulder

Camicia is Italian for “shirt”. Like a shirt sleeve, the sleeve is set with a little extra fullness, creating a softer shoulder that moves naturally with the body.

"If someone tells me they travel often or want something they'll wear all day, this is usually where I start."
Bart Dingemans

Pick stitching

The name comes from the tiny “pick” stitches placed by hand along the lapel, collar and pockets. Their purpose is subtle: adding depth, helping the fabric settle naturally and quietly showcasing craftsmanship.

Lining

Whether bold or understated, the real decision is how you want the jacket to feel. More lining brings structure and warmth; less creates a lighter, more breathable garment.

"I usually start by talking about the climate and the occasion. The colour comes afterwards."
Roberto Arduini

Patch pockets

Originally found on sporting jackets, patch pockets were easier to sew and more practical in the countryside. Today, they soften tailoring and make a jacket feel instantly more relaxed.

Horn buttons

Yes, they’re made from real horn – typically water buffalo horn, a natural by-product. Every button has its own grain, colour and texture, meaning no two garments are ever exactly alike.

Monogram

A monogram has long been used to identify the owner of a garment. Once a practical way to distinguish clothing, today it’s a discreet personal signature, stitched exactly where you’d like it.

"Some clients like their initials on show. Others choose somewhere only they'll ever see. Both feel equally personal."
