Making of Kiton Lasa Jacket

Without question, Kiton (www.kiton.it) makes some of the best tailored clothing on the planet, and it is raising the bar even higher with the new Lasa jacket for fall. Each one is made by a single tailor from start to finish in a meticulous process that takes 40 hours—a full 15 hours longer than is required for a standard Kiton jacket. Only 10 tailors are qualified to hand-sew the Lasa, which has a concealed linen inner structure that allows the jacket to maintain its form while remaining virtually weightless on the body. The made-to-measure jackets are available by special order in ultrafine, 300-gram cashmere for $8,395. The tailors are already booked through January, so be prepared to wait until next year.
