Suit Supply

Habe gerade geschaut. Navy Uni gibt's bei La Spalla nicht. Blau Birdseye wäre gerade noch ein Kompromiss. Aber eigentlich sehr ungern.
 
Noch ergänzend, eine neapolitanische Schulter ist das im klassischen Sinne nicht:

I think this has already been discussed at length.
Here is what I've been explained by an Italian guy who knows anything that is to be known about cloth and style.

A Napolitan gentleman would always ask a proper shoulder on his business suits. Exactly what is called "Napolitan" on the leeflet above. The soft and unconstructed shoulder are for leisure cloths only, for sport jackets to be worn on sunday. Not for anything even slightly formal.

Of course, a proper gentleman doesn't need to work to earn a living. So for some people, life is always leisure. To show this, they took the fashion of getting "leisure" shoulder on all their coats, to show to the world that they are gentlemen of leisure and don't need to work.

Then, the iGents noticed it, took it for a neapolitan fashion, and thought it was the thing to do on their own wardrobe. Thus came the myth of the "napolitan shoulder".


The leeflet coming from an italian tailoring factory, they call things proper. A unstructured shoulder is made for unstructured garments. Not for business suits. And the napolitan shoulder is named correctly. They are people knowing what they talk about, not iGent marketoids. They have to catter to italian customers who know better.
