SAVILE ROW VS NEAPOLITAN TAILORING
JAMES BOND |
Savile row VS Neapolitan tailoring
In tutta Europa ci sono delle tradizioni sartoriali con eccellenti meriti; in Inghilterra, ad esempio, è famosa la strada londinese di Savile row dove hanno sede i migliori sarti della corte di sua maestà.
Ma, com'è ovvio pensare, tra la scuola partenopea e quella anglosassone ci sono caratteristiche ben distinguibili.La giacca napoletana ha nell'attacco della manica e nella costruzione della spalla la sua peculiarità .
Ma Partiamo proprio dalla manica: essa infatti viene tagliata più stretta e leggermente più corta in modo da mettere in evidenza il polsino della camicia, che regolarmente deve uscire dalla manica di almeno 1 cm e mezzo ,inoltre, nella congiunzione tra spalla e manica viene lasciato un leggero arriccio. Ancora, a differenza delle altre scuole europee, la spalla napoletana presenta solo una leggera imbottitura che rende la sagoma meno squadrata e più in armonia con le forme del corpo.
Questa tecnica viene definita manica a "camicia" poiché, visivamente, assomiglia molto all'attacco manica di una camicia; viene anche detta manica a "mappina",cioè a mò di straccio, per il tipico effetto increspato. Queste caratteristiche rendono il capo più morbido ed i movimenti più fluidi.
Si pensa che queste caratteristiche siano dettate dal tipico atteggiamento tutto napoletano di gesticolare molto durante le conversazioni. Altre caratteristiche sono la tasca in petto denominata a "barca"perché messa leggermente di sbieco e i revers più ampi ma sempre proporzionati alle caratteristiche fisiche del cliente

I RE DI NAPOLI
Tailors
from Naples are back in style
The experiences of Neapolitan suitmakers show the challenges of beauty amid decay..
When it’s made by hand and stitched by hand it means that its form moulds to the body. It lasts longer. It becomes better with time,” he says, turning an unfinished grey cashmere jacket inside out to expose a neat double line of stitches. He is in a dark suit and striped tie. If Italy is a study in contrasts, Naples and its tailors provide one of the most striking. While the southern city is racked by decline and urban decay, some of its streets in the grip of organised crime, the fortunes of its tailors — whose hand-cut, handsewn suits fit with the city’s languor and regal beauty — are rising.

The
idea that beauty — for which read fashion, food, culture and
tourism — will save Italy is in fashion among the Italian political
and business elite. The possibilities and the limits of the idea seem
to be encapsulated by Naples tailors.....The experiences of Neapolitan suit makers show the challenges of beauty amid decay..

TIME
Naples, a Haven of Hand Work
Over
the last century, the personal tailor, working one to one with a
client, has become as symbolic of Naples as its Roman sculptures and
Baroque churches. Many men socializing with friends on the city
streets or sitting on public benches wear elegant jackets, in tweed
or linen, lightweight, unstructured — and indisputably tailor made.
And
the Neapolitan tailors seem to be more successful than the chaotic
city itself in moving further into the 21st century. Like the waters
of the bay that rise and fall along the coastline, they have had good
years and bad. But, today, the bespoke suit is back and doing well,
even against the challenge of factory-made ready to wear.
To
show that the tide of tailoring has turned, the big names in Naples
have opened stores around the world. They also fly experts to their
clients or offer them a home-away-from-home welcome in Italy.
