Cesare Attolini Coats & Overcoats: Buyer's FAQ

How can I tell a Cesare Attolini coat is authentic? We authenticate every coat 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 coat doesn't pass every checkpoint, we don't list it.

What are Cesare Attolini coats made of? Cesare Attolini coats are cashmere, camel hair, wool and suede — peacoats and overcoats, hand-finished. Every listing states the exact composition and our condition grade.

How should a Cesare Attolini coat fit? Cesare Attolini follows Italian sizing. A coat should sit cleanly over a jacket or knitwear — go by the chest, shoulder and length measurements we list per piece rather than the label size alone.

Is a pre-owned coat worth it? Yes. The build lasts for years, so a pre-owned coat 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 Coats & Overcoats

From the coats we inspect, watch for pilling or thinning at the cuffs and collar, the lining and buttons, suede for dryness, and the cleanness of the hem. We grade each of these before a coat is listed, new or pre-owned.

Wear a Cesare Attolini overcoat over tailoring, or a peacoat over knitwear and denim.

Brush cashmere gently, have suede professionally cleaned, and store on a shaped hanger. Every coat 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.
