What links Sandro Boticelli, Christian Vieri, cantucci biscuits and Timothy Everest? It’s Prato, the second largest city in Tuscany. Prato, a place of inspiration for one of Italy’s greatest renaissance painters, home to Serie A’s top scorer of 2003 and producer of the famous biscotti, is also the location of the Luigi Zanieri factory. This ingenious mill makes the wool blend material used for our ever popular Washed Programme suiting. This cloth is milled, dyed and woven in the heart of Italy and then re-washed to a specific factory setting to give it the softest of handles and a broken-in and zen-like feel. Imagine Vieri slotting his third goal home for A.C. Prato and then stopping at the corner flag to dip a biscuit in his espresso. That’s how it feels, bellissimo.
