A Sartorial Icon: The Eton Blazer

Crafted in Italy: A Peak of Sartorial Tradition

At the heart of the Caruso for Eton Blazer lies the rich traditional Italian tailoring, brought to life in Caruso’s esteemed atelier located in Soragna, Italy. The region, famed for its culinary traditions and sartorial craftsmanship, serves as the backdrop for this artisanal process. Caruso, synonymous with exceptional tailoring, has perfected the art of blazer-making while integrating modern sensibilities. Each piece is constructed using a full-canvas method—a hallmark of high-quality tailoring.

Unlike fused blazers and jackets, where an adhesive layer is used to bond the fabric, full-canvas construction a layer of canvas is sewn between the outer fabric and the inner lining. This allows the jacket to mold and adapt to the wearer’s body over time, ensuring a perfect fit and maintaining its structure through years of wear. The technique allows the fabric to move naturally with the body, offering a structured yet comfortable silhouette that becomes more personalized over time.

The Caruso for Eton Blazer is crafted from luxurious all-season 100% wool in a hopsack weave, offering both balance and practicality. The fabric is naturally wrinkle-resistant, durable, and breathable, making it ideal for year-round wear, whether in the boardroom or in business casual settings.

This time-consuming process, passed down through generations of Italian tailors, results in a clean, rounded finish, elevating the blazer into the realm of luxury tailoring.

Caruso’s mastery is also evident in the blazer’s soft, hand-stitched shoulders.
