Behind the Craft
The unique value of each DELETTO garment lies in a series of meaningful details perfected over 35 years of Italian excellence.
Each suit is made entirely by hand in our Milano atelier, where ancient Milanese tailoring traditions meet contemporary precision. It takes 28 hours to create a single DELETTO suit. Pure craftsmanship, performed by master tailors who have dedicated their lives to this art.
The Heart of Milano Tailoring
What follows is the story of how an authentic DELETTO jacket comes to life through the hands of Italian artisans.
What makes each DELETTO creation unique are those precious handcrafted details refined over decades by our master tailors - real secrets passed from generation to generation. Small, meaningful gestures that transform fabric into wearable art.
The difference lies precisely in the manual mastery, the skilled handling of fabrics from the first cut to the final press. This is sartoria autentica - authentic tailoring.
Sartoria Su Misura -
The Personal Journey
Since 1988, DELETTO has honored the sacred relationship between master tailor and client.
Our craftsmen - trained in the finest Italian workshops - bring you what their predecessors brought to Milano's most discerning gentlemen.
La Consulenza - Your journey begins with conversation. We come to you because true Italian service means understanding your life, your needs, your vision. Over 30 precise measurements capture not merely your dimensions, but how you move through the world.
Each pattern becomes your personal signature, maintained for life and refined with each creation. Because at DELETTO, we believe clothing should evolve with the man who wears it.
The Stages of Creating a DELETTO Jacket
Fabric Selection
We begin in our vault of precious fabrics, sourced exclusively from Italy's legendary mills. These are tessuti viventi - living fabrics that breathe and move with your body, becoming more beautiful with time.
Cutting
With chalk, the lines of your jacket are drawn by hand. Then begins the delicate cutting stage, where decades of experience guide every precise movement of the shears.
Canvas Construction
The soul of every DELETTO garment: our three-dimensional chest canvas, created through over 5,000 individual hand stitches. This invisible foundation allows the jacket to mold to your form while maintaining perfect structure.
Pocket Crafting
Each breast pocket receives the distinctive DELETTO treatment - shaped by hand to create our signature clean lines that complement the jacket's architecture.
Shoulder Construction
One of the most crucial stages. Our master tailors shape the shoulder with patient precision, creating the perfect balance between structure and natural movement.
Shoulder Construction
Here lies one of our most guarded secrets. The sleeve is inserted entirely by hand, creating that distinctive DELETTO drape that allows complete freedom of movement while maintaining impeccable lines.
Collar Masteryn
Tacking the collar requires all the manual skill of our expert tailors. The fabric is skillfully handled, creating precise "turnings" that give each garment perfect fit and elegant line.
Buttonhole Creation
Each buttonhole is cut and finished by hand - a delicate process requiring an hour of meticulous work per buttonhole. The perfection of this manual gesture cannot contemplate errors.
Final Assembly
The finishing touches are slow and methodical. Every detail that makes each garment unique takes place here: hand-fell stitching, precise lining attachment, button placement executed with infinite patience.
Cutting
The final stages of hand-pressing by our master tailors are fundamental. These give life to the jacket, modeling it through skilled manipulation of steam and pressure.
