DETAILS

Step into a space where every detail of our craftsmanship is shared to inspire, inform, and celebrate the art of tailoring.
Classic Lapel (Notch)
The most familiar of lapel styles, the notch lapel balances structure and simplicity. Its signature V-shaped opening sits at the meeting point of the collar and lapel. Clean, versatile, and universally flattering, it’s a staple across suits—from corporate settings to relaxed tailoring.

Angular Lapel (Peak)
The peak lapel makes an assertive statement. Defined by its upward-pointing corners, it adds height and presence to the
wearer’s frame. Though most often associated with formal and double-breasted jackets, it’s just as commanding on a single- breasted cut. Complex in construction and bold by nature, it’s a choice for those who appreciate distinction.
Curved Lapel (Shawl)
With its smooth, rounded edge, the shawl lapel delivers timeless sophistication. Originally found on gentleman’s smoking jackets, it’s now a fixture in formalwear, best paired with dinner suits and tuxedos. Its fluid shape softens the overall look and adds a quiet sense of luxury to evening dressing

David Zala-Details - Hand-Rolled Buttonhole
Hand-Rolled Buttonhole
A true mark of sartorial refinement, the hand-rolled buttonhole —often seen on lapels—is more than decorative. Crafted with a core of silk thread wrapped meticulously by hand, it results in a subtle raised edge with a lustrous finish. This labor-intensive technique can't be replicated by machine, making it a testament to the tailor's hand and an emblem of lasting quality.
Flap Pocket
Designed with practicality in mind, the flap pocket traces its roots to outdoor leisurewear. The flap offers protection from the elements and can be tucked in for a cleaner look. Today, it straddles functionality and formality—equally at home in businesswear or a more relaxed ensemble.

Welt Pocket (Jet)
Sleek and minimal, the welt (or jet) pocket offers a sharp,
uninterrupted line on the jacket’s
Patch Pocket
Cut and stitched directly onto the outside of the jacket, the patch pocket signals ease and approachability. Once favored for sporting and travel jackets, it now brings a casual charm to modern tailoring—often used to dial down formality while retaining thoughtful construction.

David Zala-Details - Mini Pocket (Ticket)
Mini Pocket (Ticket)
A nod to tailoring tradition, the ticket pocket sits just above the main pocket on the right side. It was originally designed for coins or train tickets—small needs, smartly solved. Though no longer essential, it remains a character detail for those who appreciate historic flair.
Soft Shoulder Finish
Inspired by southern Italian tailoring, the soft shoulder—sometimes known as a “shirt sleeve” shoulder—is designed for fluidity and ease. The sleeve is gently eased into the armhole, creating slight, natural folds where the two meet. This relaxed structure offers comfort and movement, giving the jacket a less rigid, more approachable silhouette while still retaining its elegance.

David Zala-Details - Double Needle Stitch (Doppio Impuntura)
Double Needle Stitch (Doppio Impuntura)
Characterized by twin rows of subtle hand-stitching, this hallmark of Neapolitan tailoring lines the lapel edges, pockets, and seams. It’s a visible trace of artisanal labor—an elegant signature for those who value tailoring with soul.
A Three-Roll-Two Configuration
This detail is often called a "3-roll-2" because the lapel rolls to the second button.A true mark of sartorial refinement, the hand-rolled buttonholeoften seen on lapels is more than decorative. It’s a hallmark of Neapolitan and Ivy League tailoring, giving the jacket a relaxed yet refined look

David Zala-Details Edge Stitching (Pick Stitch)
Edge Stitching (Pick Stitch)
Often running along the lapels and pockets, these tiny hand- or machine-finished stitches serve both form and function. They help reinforce edges and lend a visible note of craftsmanship. When done well, they elevate the garment without shouting for attention.
Cutaway Collar
This shirt collar, with its wide-spaced points, is perfect for larger tie knots or a tieless look with flair. Its bold stance complements broader lapels and open collars alike—ideal for clients who lean toward a contemporary European style

David Zala-Details Spread Collar
Spread Collar
Clean and balanced, the spread collar is versatile enough for business or social dressing. Its generous spacing allows for
classic knots like the half-Windsor, while still looking sharp when worn open. A timeless staple that never feels overdone.
