Canali



This is the suit maker of choice for US President Barack Obama. Canali is one of Italy's top tailored wear labels. It was founded in 1934 by brothers Giovanni and Giacomo Canali. Now run by the third generation, it has broadened its line of fine luxury menswear with the Canali Porposta and Canali Exclusive lines, as well as expanding to encompass an accessories collection of shirts, ties, belts, shoes and the distinctive line of Canali Sportswear.

The company fuses in-depth style research with superior production standards and strict attention to detail. Canali's exceptional quality begins with its raw materials. Selected from the best producers in the world, these materials are often made exclusively for Canali. Precious fabrics such as cashmere and sophisticated super 200s wools make for a suit of pure quality. Canali tailoring standards are recognizable in the details, tailoring details are given great importance with fine finishing's including hand stitched pockets and precise positioning of the waistband buttons, which guarantee the clean shape of your Canali suit.

The suit I am wearing in the picture was tailored and finished by hand in Sovico, near Milan.
