Description

Nino Giordano was an Italian tailor. Trained by the legendary Augusto Caraceni​,​ he opened his own atelier in the 1950's. His style was a blend of the Milanese school of tailoring he learnt from Caraceni​,​ and the style of the current Parisian tailors like Joseph Camps and Francesco Smalto. The shoulder is structured with a nice cigarette​,​ the armhole is high and the waist tight. The cut is sharp with incredible handwork details. He closed in the early 1990's. I'm proposing an excellent example of his work: a navy double-breasted jacket in a mid-season wool. Made in 1975​,​ it is a staple of any respectable wardrobe and can be worn with any kind of trousers all year round like a blazer. It features a generous and relatively low lapel​,​ a stunning black silk lining. The handwork on the collar is particularly good. As always with Giordano​,​​​​​​ it is fully handmade​​​​​​,​​​​​​ from the lining to the buttonholes​​​​​​,​​​​​​ from the shoulder to the collar. The conditions is excellent. The jacket is best fitted for someone with a slim 38UK​​​​​/​​​​​​48FR​​ or a strong 36UK​/​46FR​,​ around 1m75.
