THE BRAND De Petrillo is a family-run Neapolitan house with deep roots in the Campanian tailoring tradition. Built on a commitment to exceptional fabrication and considered construction, the brand combines a modern sensibility with the classic values of Italian craftsmanship, soft shoulders, natural silhouettes and fabrics chosen with the same care as the cut. DETAILS The De Petrillo Benny is a blazer for those who understand that a great cloth does most of the work. A dark brown glencheck in an 80% wool and 20% polyamide blend is not a pattern that asks for permission, and in Neapolitan hands it is given exactly the construction it deserves, understated, considered and built to be worn. The glencheck pattern carries one of the most storied histories in British cloth design, a weave that has moved comfortably between the country estate and the city for over a century and that shows no sign of losing its relevance. In dark brown, the palette is warm, rich and thoroughly wearable across the colder months, anchoring outfits that lean on texture and earthy tones with quiet authority. The construction is a clear step forward from earlier De Petrillo models in terms of fit. The Benny is cut with a more generous silhouette that sits correctly on the body without requiring the sizing up that has been necessary in the past, true to size with a Drop 7 that follows the natural proportions of the chest and waist without pulling. The unstructured shoulder keeps the jacket feeling light and relaxed on the body, while the half-lining adds comfort and breathability in equal measure. The 3 roll 2 button stance gives the front its classic Neapolitan character, and the notch lapels, double vents, classic chest pocket and two front jetted pockets complete a blazer that is entirely correct in every detail. Three internal pockets and unopened sleeve buttons round out a jacket built for daily life as much as for considered dressing. Model: Benny Fabric: 80% Wool, 20% Polyamide, dark brown glencheck Construction: Half-lined, unstructured shoulder Button stance: 3 roll 2 Lapels: Notch Pockets: Classic chest pocket, two front patch pockets, three internal pockets Details: Unopened sleeve buttons, double vents Fit: Slim, Drop 7, true to size Made in: Italy WEAR IT WITH The dark brown glencheck Benny is a blazer built for the kind of dressing that looks effortless precisely because it has been thought about. For a relaxed and thoroughly considered off-duty look, wear it over a Harley of Scotland brushed wool crewneck in a complementary tone, burgundy, forest green or camel, with dark washed jeans and a pair of Paraboot loafers in brown suede. The textures work together naturally and the glencheck holds its own without competing. For an Oxford shirt underneath with rolled chinos and the same loafer, the Benny sits at the smarter end of smart casual with complete ease. For a cooler, more contemporary combination, layer it over a navy cashmere crewneck with washed black jeans and a pair of CQP sneakers. Add the Lund & Lund cashmere beanie in red or navy and the outfit is complete, relaxed and considered in equal measure without a single element out of place.
