Kiton: The absolut men suites

Kiton was founded in 1968 in Naples, Italy by Ciro Paone. Kiton is considered one of the most exclusive and prestigious fashion houses in the world. The company makes about 20,000 suits per year that usually cost US$5,000 - $15,000 each. All Kiton suits are completely handmade. They can be ordered bespoke or purchased at a small number of exclusive clothiers including Wilkes Bashford in San Francisco, California, Louis Boston in Boston, and Bergdorf Goodman in New York City. Neiman Marcus also carries Kiton products in most of their locations.
Most suits normally take about 25 hours of labor, and at least 45 tailors contribute to every one.
Kiton's most famous suit model is the "K-50", so named because it takes approximately 50 hours to produce, costing $30,000 - $50,000, and is made exclusively by Kiton's chief tailor who personally measures and fits the client. Kiton dress shirts are also handmade, as are Kiton's seven-fold silk neckties. A strong believer in tailoring by hand, Paone inaugurated a tailor's school in Kiton's factory in Naples.
Kiton opened its US$40 million New York flagship and showroom on West 54th Street in 2004, they are also scheduled to open a shop in London very soon. Like many other tailored clothing companies, Kiton has diversified in recent years to include sportswear, footwear, fragrances, furnishings and a women's collection.
