Widely considered as one of the world’s finest tailoring houses today, Cifonelli was founded in 1880 and still remains a family business under the wings of the fourth generation Cifonelli cousins. In addition to the utmost meticulous craftsmanship that Parisian tailors are known for, a Cifonelli bespoke jacket is characterized by a strong signature shoulder, an assertive lapel line, and often a romantic touch here and there.
