Kiton at Garmany

Founded 1968 · Naples, Italy

The Best of the Best, Plus One

Kiton's motto — "il meglio del meglio più uno" — captures everything about the house that Ciro Paone built. Founded in 1968 in Arzano, on the outskirts of Naples, Kiton represents the absolute pinnacle of ready-to-wear tailoring. Each suit requires over 25 hours of handwork, more than 1,500 individual steps, and approximately 2,000 hand-stitches — crafted by over 350 artisans in a tradition that the Paone family has stewarded for five generations.

What makes Kiton singular is not just the craft but the refusal to compromise. Machines are restricted to sewing only the longest straight seams in a jacket. Every collar, every shoulder, every buttonhole with its 100+ hand-embroidered stitches is shaped entirely by hand. Mastering the art of setting a Kiton shoulder requires eight to ten years of practice. The house produces only about 100 pieces per day and approximately 20,000 suits per year — a deliberate restraint that ensures every garment meets the standard its name demands.
