Cesare Attolini Suits: Buyer's FAQ

How can I tell a Cesare Attolini suit is authentic? We authenticate every suit in-house, and the tells are in the details counterfeiters get wrong. Cesare Attolini is made entirely by hand in Casalnuovo near Naples, so we look for the signs of that handwork: the hand-stitched label, hand-padded lapels and hand-sewn buttonholes, the soft spalla camicia (shirt) shoulder and the curved barchetta chest pocket. We read the "Made in Italy" and composition labels, feel the cloth, and confirm the neat, subtly irregular hand-stitching only true Neapolitan tailoring shows. Because details vary by era, we never rely on a single marker; if a suit doesn't pass every checkpoint, we don't list it.

What are Cesare Attolini suits made of? Cesare Attolini suits are wool, wool-silk-linen and cashmere blends, hand-made in Casalnuovo. Every listing states the exact composition and our condition grade.

How should a Cesare Attolini suit fit? Cesare Attolini follows Italian sizing with a soft, Neapolitan cut. Check the chest, shoulder and trouser measurements we publish per piece — a jacket can be tailored, but the shoulders should fit from the start.

Is a pre-owned suit worth it? Yes. The build lasts for years, so a pre-owned suit at a fraction of retail is sound value, and every pre-owned piece is graded transparently (Unworn with tags, Unworn, Excellent, Very Good). And every piece is authenticated — if one is ever proven inauthentic, we refund it in full — with a 14-day return policy, so you can buy with confidence.

How to Buy Cesare Attolini Suits

From the suits we inspect, check the shoulders and lapels, the hand-stitching, any shine at the seat and elbows, and that jacket and trousers match as a set. We grade each of these before a suit is listed, new or pre-owned.

Wear a Cesare Attolini suit for formal occasions, or break the jacket and trousers into separates.

Rest it between wears, steam rather than iron, and have it professionally cleaned sparingly. Every suit at Sanpetuna — new and pre-owned — is authenticated by hand and backed by a 14-day return policy; if a piece is ever proven inauthentic, we refund it in full.
