MILAN — Cesare Attolini is expensive, hard to find, and as a result, coveted by a dedicated band of cognoscenti in the U.S. But this summer, the Neapolitan brand will also open its first standalone store on Madison Avenue, selling not only its first-rate tailoring and sportswear, but also shirts, ties, scarves, outerwear and even shoes. (And if you can't make it to New York City, a small number of stores will also carry Attolini.) For Fall 2011, the brand stayed true to its DNA with super-light, barely there constructions, unique Italian and English fabrics, and bulletproof tailoring. With Scottish and English tweeds, Cesare Attolini may seem to have a rustic roughness, but their unlined jackets are super-soft, woven from cashmere yarns designed for knitting. Not only are the jackets softer, they come in far wider array of colors, allowing the brand to offer unique pieces you won't find anywhere else.
