How Pal Zileri is putting its own subtle mark on traditional Italian dress

Pal Zileri, like all fine heritage brands, manages to pull off that hard-to-execute trick of having one foot firmly rooted in tradition and the other in the current day. For this particular name, that means being forever shaped by its homeland of Italy – ‘In the Pal Zileri DNA, there is the architecture of Venice and the colours of Veneto’, says the label – with all garments produced either by its long-term partners at a factory in Quinto Vicentino, or by a network of craftspeople located across the country. Classic menswear items that are synonymous with the peninsula’s style – suits in subtle check patterns; single-breasted coats perfect for winter; chinos in neutral hues – also emphasise the made-in-Italy spirit and are given modern slants, whether that’s via clean, tailored silhouettes, a seamless mix of casual items with dressed-up staples, or the use of next-gen materials, such as stretch Tencel.
