Cesare Attolini Black Wool & Cotton Gabardine-Twill Covert Coat
Discover the Cesare Attolini covert coat in black wool and cotton gabardine-twill—a masterful reinterpretation of a British classic through the lens of Neapolitan tailoring. The fabric has a crisp, dry hand and a tightly woven structure, offering both durability and refined texture. Traditional details include slanted flap pockets with a ticket pocket and a soft velvet undercollar—an homage to its equestrian roots. The silhouette is clean and structured, yet fluid enough to layer effortlessly over tailoring or knitwear.
Originally designed in the late 19th century for horseback riding and hunting, the covert coat was crafted to withstand the rigors of the countryside while maintaining a polished appearance in town.

Attolini’s version honors this legacy while elevating it with hand-finished buttonholes, precise stitching, and a refined fit shaped by artisans in Naples.
