Material innovation meets traditional craftsmanship in our new Suede Overshirt—a ‘clean-and-simple’ silhouette that’s lightweight and fluid. Offered completely unlined, it’s made from an innovative paper-backed suede, and all internal seams are specially finished to create a smooth surface for easy layering. Each piece has been individually cut, sewn, and finished at our workshop in Campania, Italy our small but diverse team of skilled artisans.
Meet Franco. He’s a true craftsman who grew up working leather by hand and now brings over 50 years of experience to the cutting table. Since each skin uniquely takes the dye, Franco’s trained eye first carefully selects each piece and maps the pattern accordingly to ensure all of the elements of the jacket seamlessly match in color. Suede is cut with a single blade rather than scissors, requiring a unique touch and precise technique that took Franco decades to develop. As he cuts, he intuitively adapts his blade to the varying thickness of the skins.
Franco’s ability also reduces waste, ingeniously utilizing imperfect sections of the skin that a digital machine would render useless. In short, Franco is a boss, and he’s part of a team of craftspeople whose deliberate rhythm, sharp focus and seasoned talent make Stòffa possible.
