The Art of the Neapolitan Seam (Spalla Camicia) and MainlyStyles' Commitment to Craftsmanship

When it comes to custom suits, God is truly in the details. One such detail that sets a superior suit apart from the rest is the Neapolitan seam, known as "spalla camicia." This elegant and traditional tailoring technique, originating from Naples, Italy, is a hallmark of high-quality craftsmanship. At MainlyStyles, we take pride in offering this exquisite detail in our custom suits, ensuring that our clients receive not only a perfect fit but also a garment rich in heritage and sophistication.

The Neapolitan seam, or spalla camicia, translates to "shirt shoulder" in Italian. This technique is characterized by a soft, natural shoulder line that mimics the construction of a shirt rather than a conventional suit jacket. Unlike the structured and padded shoulders found in many suits, the spalla camicia is lightly constructed, often with little to no padding. This results in a more relaxed, comfortable fit that allows for greater movement and a less rigid appearance.

The defining feature of the spalla camicia is its pleated shoulder seam, which creates a subtle, puckered effect. This pleating not only adds visual interest but also allows the fabric to drape naturally over the shoulder, enhancing the wearer's silhouette with a graceful, effortless elegance.

At MainlyStyles, we believe that every suit should tell a story, and the spalla camicia is a testament to our commitment to preserving and honoring traditional tailoring techniques. Our skilled artisans meticulously construct each shoulder using this time-honored method, ensuring that every seam is executed with precision and care.

When you choose a MainlyStyles custom suit, you are not just selecting a garment; you are investing in a piece of art.
