This single breasted suit is cut from Zegna’s own wool, in a very subtle herringbone pattern. Sage grey is a soft, muted grey with hints of green, resembling the color of sage leaves. Notch lapels, flap pockets, double side vents and pleated trousers with a turn-up. Discover the elaborated sartorial details below.

By the time a Ermenegildo Zegna garment ends up hanging in an enthusiasts wardrobe, more than 500 hands will have touched it. They start their work by shearing the wool, weaving it, bundling it, dyeing it, knitting it, ironing it, cutting it, sewing it, ironing it again (and again). In Trivero, Piedmont, Zegna turns wool into cloth, and then sends it to the artisanal suit factory at Stabio, on the Swiss side of the Italian border, where the cloth becomes a tailored garment. What is thought to be simple is actually difficult, and what is thought to be done by machine is basically done by people, at a sophisticated level.
