Napoli - Gino Cimmino II

A few more photos from Cimmino from Naples, showing some sample and experimental pieces here.
Note the rather correct double breasted suit with non-shirt set sleeves.
One of the particularities of traditional garment coming out from bespoke workshops from Naples is the extended front dart that is discussed with passion and sometimes commented upon as a "feature".
Well, you can either extend it all the way and have a cleaner side or the other way round, (what you usually see with darted jackets) and in Naples they used to do it like that, basta.
Easy eh?
If done well, the sides are visual much cleaner from bottom to the scye as there are simply less pieces/seams in an area that is extremely prone to creasing or waving when moving your arms.
Of course you have the extending part of the dart "visibly" in the front (even though most people dont notice it) while you would have it covered by your arms when extending it on the side of the jacket(as long as you dont move).
Nothing for or against it, except that it's more traditional and authentic for bespoke garments for a certain region of the tailoring world.
For those who have seen that stuff only in the internetz, please dont be shocked that it is not a feature alone, added to "normally" darted jackets or something like that.
Personally I am neither a great fan (nor opponent) and have no jackets with extended front darts myself btw.
I just get paid a lot by the extended front dart society™.
