Its name comes from the chiton, the ceremonial tunic worn by the aristocracy of ancient Greece, symbolizing the pursuit of understated classic elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKiton’s defining difference lies in its 100% artisanal manufacturing process and the use of extremely fine fabrics developed exclusively on traditional looms. A Kiton suit takes approximately 25 hours of manual labor from at least 45 different tailors, using only scissors, thread, needle, and steam iron—no heat-sealed finishes or synthetic adhesives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo preserve the Neapolitan tailoring tradition—characterized by ultra-light jackets, soft shoulders without rigid padding, and sleeves set with the shirt-making technique—the brand founded the Scuola di Alta Sartoria in 2000, ensuring that each young apprentice masters traditional hand-sewing techniques before joining the production line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/winabrand.com\/en\/collections\/kiton.oembed","provider":"WINABRAND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
