Kiton K50 suit, exclusively tailored by Senor D'Orsi ($50,000)The company makes about 18,000 suits per year that usually cost US$5,000 - $15,000 each.
They can be ordered bespoke or purchased at a small number of exclusive clothiers. Most suits take approximately 25 hours of labor, with at least 45 tailors contributing to each one.
Kiton's most famous suit model is the "K-50", which takes 50 hours to produce, costing up to $50,000. Kiton dress shirts are also hand finished, as are Kiton's seven-fold silk neckties.
A strong believer in tailoring by hand, Paone inaugurated a tailor's school in Kiton's factory in an industrial suburb of Naples. The Kiton suit is one of the finest handmade suits in the world. This suit is given birth to in Naples Italy using superb fabrics and several days labor.
Style Cuts - Stitches are done completely by hand with painstaking attention to detail. Buyers have their choice between bespoke versions or off the rack.
The bespoke versions can be tailored to your specifications which makes the style as versatile as you need it.
Material - Fine super 150's wool makes this a great luxury suit. Look for fully lined jackets with pants lined down to the knees.
Color - The number of suits that are made by this designer are limited in quantity each year; this makes the number of colors limited as well. However, you should be able to find all of the classic colors with a few diverse enough to suit your wild side.
Price - Prices match the high quality fabrics and hand-stitching. Expect retail prices to start out at $5,000 and go all the way up to $20,000 for the bespoke models.
Conclusion - Men looking for a suit that is almost unmatched in both quality of fabric and stitching should look to this designer.
