Corneliani (Italy) 80s, Double-Knit Jacquard, High-Twist Yarn

Corneliani (Italy) 80s, Double-Knit Jacquard, High-Twist Yarn SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos A jacquard-woven houndstooth in ivory, burgundy, and charcoal evokes 1980s Italian postmodernism through tight weave, fine gauge, and tonal control. The Corneliani single-breasted sport coat exemplifies the technical and conceptual hallmarks of late-20th-century Italian luxury tailoring, offering a controlled fusion of geometric precision and chromatic modulation. As a menswear house founded in Mantua, Corneliani established its authority through a commitment to full-canvas construction values, Mediterranean silhouette calibration, and textile-first design philosophy. The brand’s positioning within the Italian tailoring canon rests on its ability to bridge artisan-informed detailing with industrial scalability—resulting in garments that foreground textile integrity, anatomical drape, and understated visual charisma. This particular coat, likely produced between the late 1980s and early 1990s, embodies that ethos in both structure and surface. Constructed with a fully lined interior and softly structured body, the jacket employs a classic Italian suiting block with a moderate waist contour, two-button front, extended notch lapels, and high armhole shaping. The body is drafted from a three-panel front with front darts extending cleanly through the waist, preserving grid alignment across the houndstooth pattern.
