Nice blazer! You rated Kiton exactly as I thought you would. My kiton jackets and suits are fantastic, but you have not addressed their shirts or trousers, which are also some of the best! Their shirts are completely hands sewn, every seam including the side seams, arm seams and bottom hem are stitched by hand. I haven't seen any better ready to wear outside of G. Inglese! Trousers have long seams machine sewn, of course, but their waist bands are all hand done and extremely comfortable. I love kiton and wear their stuff many days of the week... Though like you, I buy it secondhand! 😁👍
I live in Arzano and Kiton is the biggest name in the history of our city! I've appreciated a lot the way you talked about the brand, everything was very interesting ☺️
I've been watching your videos since 2017 (back in the "peasant" days). Everything you guys do is pure gold. Educating men from a perspective of classic style helps level the playing field in so many way as, sometimes, it's easy to feel slighted (as a man) by today's fashion industry. At the very least, conventional socialization in America doesn't always train men to express themselves through clothing and you've given us all at least one avenue to do that and all the tools to do it well. Just letting you know I shared a couple of your videos to a 12,000 user deep Poshmark Sellers group populated by some folks who are really curious about menswear, but don't know where to start. My exact words were "accept no substitutes--these men have a video for everything." I hope this nets you a few thousand more subs. You deserve every last one of them.
Which Neapolitan tailor is gonna offer you two bespoke suits for the same price as 1? As far as im aware, the big name tailors would charge at least 8k a suit.
@@melokan yes, there are quite a few tailors in that price range. Of course excluding the big houses. There are even traveling tailors from Italy that are cheaper than 3k a suit.
@@melokan the cheaper ones? Sartoria Solito, Sartoria Capparelli, Giovanni Lovadina and Sartoria Pastena for example. Then you also have for example David Kuclinski from Poland for English tailoring. You can also check out permanent styles' Naples shopping guide for Naples tailors.
Fellas... I've been doing the "Classic Menswear" thing for over forty years. I think it's my duty to let you all know that NO GARMENT is worth more than about $1,000 AT THE MOST. Sure, there's the "craft" of tailoring... But it takes a skilled Tailor LITTLE MORE to make a $5,000 jacket, than it does to make a $500 jacket. The arbitrary prices of fabrics are another problem. I wouldn't recommend buying anything without researching all the other options. Just a bit of unsolicited advice... That's all.
I would really want to see you reviewing sartoria castangia jacket. I have 4 of them and they all are on par with kiton. Their fabrics are also often fantastic and exclusive.
I suppose that the question of whether a Kiton suits/coats are worth it depends upon whether the fabrics they use are so unique that you are willing to pay bespoke + prices for a ready to wear garment. I personally would rather get a bespoke suit in a high quality (though not exclusive) fabric if I were to pay those prices.
Me too. I love and respect Kiton possibly more than any other brand, but for my body type, the jackets usually require extensive work to fit to my standards. Much like Raphael, I have WAY better luck with ISAIA. I do find, however, that some of Kiton's other garments (dress shirts, outwear, and sweaters) fit me like a glove.
Our hosts film an equal number of videos, but they aren't always released in equal rotation. So, you'll see the same amount of Raphael as any other GG team member! :)
Wow this review really is eye opening even if I had the money I don’t know if I’d spend that much on a piece that is said to be all hand stitched and turns out it isn’t make me really think about it unless it’s a color I’d like
Definitely not worth it. $6-12k for a ready to wear garment is just absurd you could get 2 - 6 bespoke jackets for that price, from excellent tailors in high end fabrics. It's totally off a reasonable scale of pricing. Anybody with a budget like this should find a suitable bespoke tailor and commission all garments bespoke for the best result.
Idk if I will give up any of my Brioni's for a Kiton. Maini because I'm a creature of habit and I know what to expect and will never be disappointed. Comparing the two and giving your personal opinion would be fascinating.
I tried on a few Kiton items and didn't see or feel anything that made me think the price was justified. Fit is everything in clothing. For that money, just go bespoke.
I think Kiton can be a bit like Brioni in that I've seen their stuff for sale online used for anything from £500 to £1000+. Even at that price however that's a significant saving considering a new jacket can be ten times that
Fabric is nice, but they charge so much for the name and they keep trying to push the unlined jacket on everyone. Just don't see the appeal of it. I could go bespoke or go with zegna for a similar item for much cheaper.
Before watching this video, no, it's not worth the (retail) prices. 😉✌️ But if you've got the money and looking for the best of the best (+1😉), it's the brand to choose. 😎 I've purchased a few items heavily discounted, i.e. well worth the money. Feeling extremely wealthy and stylish when wearing Kiton. 👑
Nice review, but for me, in my opinion at least, its the price tag that sticks out here. Its far too much and i'm sure its nice but its not 12,000 dollars nice, i felt when you said about going to a tailor to have a suit made and refine it a few times would be a MUCH better way to spend that kind of cash. I'm also not much of a fan of Italian styles anyway they feel too loud to me, maybe because im British and a little restrained there perhaps, who knows. Still was a great video! keep up the great work gents.
It's a nice blazer, but in my humble opinion, I do not think it's flattering on Raphael. He's got way dapper options that I've seen him in in due respects. Not sure I would go with that, especially at the price point. But thanks for the video, very informative!
Totally not worth the money. Over priced and a lot of the work is machine made. No comparaison to Attolini in terms of fit and craftsmanship in my opinion. However, Kiton’s fabrics are more luxurious and incredible. The lapel on the blazer you are wearing is too narrow.
for me KITON rates 1/5 stars, it may be a decent construction but the cut is abysmal, too short, too slim, lapels are terrible also, most of them now days look like jackets from the childs section of a mall
That's more than my car price. Whatever craft the shop is and the final quality, spending 6-12k in a jacket is just mental. There is rich people life allowing them spending this amount on clothes, and the real world (the other 95%) for which the income is 20-30k a year, and that is far away of spending just 1k in a full garderobe is already difficult
These are such subjective things - "worth". Depending on one's income level. If you are a CEO or a trader or a banker or a partner lawyer and make millions and millions a year and wear suits for work, of course it is worth it, as long as it fits you well, and this goes for any of the well-constructed brands from Attolini to Isaia to Brioni, etc.
So don't buy their polyster vest, that doesn't make the rest of their stuff garbage. You'll never get anything better than Kiton's quality, you just need to open your wallet.
Petition to produce the Fort Belvedere prototype jacket 👍
They seem to like producing in Germany so maybe Regent or Eduard Dressler may want to cooperate…
Sven is testing prototypes according to insta
@@amkmtf6753 Regent went out of business btw. And Dressler does not produce in Germany anymore.

For the price I'd go to Naples multiple times and get two fully bespoke suits for the same price including travel. Also fully handmade. 😅

I found one that starts at 3000 euros. Fully bespoke and handmade and well known in Naples

How about Attolini next???
We ❤️ Ralph Lauren Purple label. Lower cost with a supreme quality. Id like to see a review of RL Purple label suits
Stay tuned! ;)

Great advice. 100% agreed. For me, the numbers are even lower, given the ability of thrifting in person and online.
You have just said the truth.
Those prices are absolutly absurd.
What are some of your favorite tailors/brands that are worth it?
I can’t stop loving your channel, I love your videos, huge respect
I would really want to see you reviewing sartoria castangia jacket. I have 4 of them and they all are on par with kiton. Their fabrics are also often fantastic and exclusive.
I love these videos. I’d like to see a Tom Ford version of this.

Been waiting for this one
Me too brother
Wow this review really is eye opening even if I had the money I don’t know if I’d spend that much on a piece that is said to be all hand stitched and turns out it isn’t make me really think about it unless it’s a color I’d like
Is a Spier and Mackay suit/sport coat review coming up too??
Astonishing as always guys, can't wait for the Attolini one
bought their blazer (it was actually kiton bespoke) from their outlet store in Milan, they feel so good, dont regret buying it at all
The next best thing to a Kiton jacket are Peter Millar Excursionist line of jackets. wool, linen, silk, alpaca. partially lined. feels great to wear.
Really enjoyed, and eye opening on machine made inside work. I’d to see same look and review of Cesare Attolini from you!
Diminishing returns. For what one pays for those jackets one can buy a couple of bespoken suits in Miami, NY , Nashville of LA.
This is not for us really…
Or for the cost of about ten, a really nice vacation cabin in the mountains...
Ok time to buy it at the goodwill for 5$
I have found 10 over the last couple years including some full suits. All for between 5 to 20 dollars. They are out there, but can be hard to find.
Thé fact that you haven’t done a video on safari jackets is a crime
There's a reason behind that...stay tuned!
- Preston
The price is way too high!
Definitely not worth it. $6-12k for a ready to wear garment is just absurd you could get 2 - 6 bespoke jackets for that price, from excellent tailors in high end fabrics.

I am from Malaysia could you do 1 on tomaz but is up to you because I love their blazers there I want to see what is your opinion
Great video. 👏 I’m waiting for Brunello Cucinelli jacket now. 😉

Please make a video “Is Canali worth it” thank you!
Amazing video love the info…wondered if you like The Row…not much info of them for men’s yet
Finally!!

You are right spot on..its not worth the asking price...no matter how good it may be.
Ciro Paone and Cesare Attolini
Kiton is a product for people who want to look good, and have money to burn. There is nothing there that justifies 10k$ for a jacket.
(1) I've tried on Kiton jackets and they are luxurious indeed.
(2) Can we get a video honoring/featuring the late, great Edward Sexton?
Didn't know Robert de Niro made neapolitan suits
Lol
Didn't know Ciro Paone was a goodfella!
When buying this brand secondhand what is the best place to start and what are the sizing differences from the US?
I wonder what the guys at Gentleman's gazette do to these cut-apart jackets after the video is published 🤔
i have. Question i dont if i should wear a blqck waistcoat to the tailcoat or a black one iam 15

Finally 🔴
yes
Not comfortable with those bold patterns/colors. But I am of "a certain age" so there.
Why do suits depreciate so much? I see Kiton jackets on eBay, frequently for less than $1,000.

Are they pronounced Kiton or Kiton?
I remember when jackets used to be a lot cheapa
🤔💭😆🤣

What did you do to that poor Carl Friedrik bag :(
Car or a kiton...mhmmm
People who buy this brand don't have to worry about that question.
Mhm jacket or pay rent
check out J.Mueser
😅, what a ripoff. I don’t care if the old mighty lord made there clothes by his own hands. There prices are absurd..
CiPa means "pu$$y" in Polish. That made me laugh.
I don´t like the shoulder wrinkles.
No.
Hahahahhaja😅😅
$1620 a cotton polo tshirt on their website....hmmm
I can buy a real good custom suit from munro for that price
The "background music theme with the Drums" is really ANNOYING !
Thanks for your feedback
Most of the stuff from Kiton is complete garbage, "they're selling a polyester vest for like 3k"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So don't buy their polyster vest, that doesn't make the rest of their stuff garbage. You'll never get anything better than Kiton's quality, you just need to open your wallet.
@@patrickbateman529 I wouldn't waste my money on Kiton even if I had it to spend, "you zombie system bot"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No!
This video isn't a critique, it's p.r. Did you get paid?
No, we bought the jacket with our own money and have no connection or relationship with Kiton and we did not get paid. But why do you think it is PR?
@@gentlemansgazette At least tell us you bought a used one? Ah, yes, you did. Cool.
Tried it , doesn't suit me , i prefer Zegna, Canali or loro piana
