Caccioppoli has been making cloth in Naples since 1920. For this jacket, TIE MEN chose one of its premium wool check cloths: a classic glen plaid crossed with a fine olive windowpane, on a warm cream ground.
TIE MEN is a bespoke tailor in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Hanoi; every jacket is cut to the client's own measurements, in cloth chosen together with an advisor.
The cloth
Glen plaid is one of tailoring's most enduring patterns. The olive windowpane gives it a quieter, more contemporary line, while the cream palette keeps the whole jacket understated — elegant in a way that reveals itself slowly, with real depth.
The cut
The jacket is soft-tailored, built on a natural shoulder. The result is ease rather than rigidity: a jacket that sits with the body and moves with it, in a timeless sartorial spirit with a refined modern edge.
The lining
The detail that sets this piece apart is on the inside: an artistic lining in cobalt blue — a point of contrast hidden beneath a composed exterior, crafted for gentlemen who appreciate elegance with quiet individuality.
