Rubinacci x Sprezza: A Neapolitan Masterpiece of Unstructured Elegance
A Collaboration in Pure Simplicity
The Rubinacci x Sprezza jacket is more than just clothing—it’s a statement of refined simplicity and effortless elegance. With this collaboration, we asked Luca Rubinacci to craft garments that embody Neapolitan tailoring’s signature lightness. These jackets are unconstructed and unlined, created with a meticulous hand that prioritizes freedom and flow.
Our jackets use Huddersfield’s Fresco wool, but with a unique soft finish that brings the fabric to life. This blend of English fabric with Neapolitan craftsmanship results in a jacket that’s as light as a shirt yet sophisticated enough for any occasion. Every element speaks to a philosophy of understated luxury, where less is truly more.
The Essence of Neapolitan Tailoring
Neapolitan tailoring is more than just a collection of techniques—it’s a living art form. Each Rubinacci piece is crafted to achieve that ethereal lightness and relaxed elegance that only Naples can inspire. The techniques themselves are part science, part magic; it’s about creating garments that breathe, that move with the wearer, and that capture the timeless allure of Neapolitan style.
In a world of homogenized fashion, Naples stands out. As Nick Foulkes put it, “In an increasingly homogenous world of international chains selling everything from standardized suits to standardized espressos, Naples has that rare quality: character.” The Rubinacci x Sprezza jacket is imbued with this spirit, each stitch carrying the soul of Naples and its storied craft.
The Experience of True Neapolitan Craftsmanship
To truly understand Neapolitan tailoring, one must go beyond awareness to a deeper level of appreciation. Foulkes encapsulates it well: “Awareness and understanding are two very different things, and the tailoring of Naples needs to be grasped and appreciated on an emotional level as well as an intellectual level.” This is what sets the Rubinacci x Sprezza jacket apart—it’s designed to evoke both a visual and emotional response.
Every detail, from the hand-finished seams to the unlined construction, allows the jacket to take on the character of its wearer. It’s not just about fit; it’s about creating a garment that feels personal, that moves with ease, and that reflects the quiet confidence of those who understand and value true craftsmanship.
