Since 1911

"Elegance is refusal — of the trend, of the logo, of the hurry. What remains is a man, well dressed, entirely at ease."

Freedom is having nothing to prove.

Our summer cloths are chosen for long lunches, salt air and the kind of afternoon that has no end time written down anywhere.

The House

Inherited taste, made available.

Marchetti & Vale began in 1911 above a Florentine courtyard, in a room that smelled of steam and wool and strong coffee. Three generations later the work has not changed a great deal. We still cut for posture rather than physique. We still choose cloth that improves with weather, travel and years, and we still believe a garment should be judged after a decade, not on the day it is bought.

Our idea of elegance is quiet. It has nothing to do with logos, seasons or the noise of fashion, and everything to do with a man who is at ease — who walks into a room without needing it to notice him. That confidence is not bought; it is built slowly, out of good habits, good company and clothes that ask nothing of you. We dress the man who already knows who he is.

So we keep the house small and the collection narrow. We buy from twelve mills we have known for years, we make fewer pieces than we could sell, and we would rather lose a season than lose the line of a shoulder. A Marchetti coat is not bought for this winter; it is bought for the man your sons will remember.

What the house hears back

4.4 out of 5 — 18 letters

On The Ashcombe Mid-Length Wool Coat

“The coat arrived pressed, wrapped and heavier than I expected — in the good way. I have worn it three times a week since November and it still looks new.”
Henry L., client in LondonHenry L. — London

On The Cortina Patchwork Wool Jacket

“Ordered from New York on a Sunday, tracked it the whole way, and the duties were clear up front. The blazer fits like something made a block from here, not an ocean away.”
William P. — New York, USA

On The Portofino Relaxed Two-Piece Suit

“I ordered the linen suit for a wedding in Puglia. The cut is generous without being sloppy. I would have liked a little more colour choice, but the quality is not in question.”
Matteo R., client in MilanMatteo R. — Milan

On The Navarre Layered Crewneck Sweater

“I live in cashmere six months of the year and this is the best I have bought in a decade. Shipping to Toronto took a little patience, but nothing was damaged and nothing was rushed.”
Daniel R., client in Toronto, CanadaDaniel R. — Toronto, Canada

On The Riviera Striped Knit Tee

“Sizing advice on the product page was exactly right, and a real person answered my email in a day. Rare enough these days that it deserves saying.”
Charles V., client in AntwerpCharles V. — Antwerp

On The Portofino Relaxed Two-Piece Suit

“Los Angeles does not do coats, but it does do linen. The suit breathes, presses out overnight and reads far more expensive than it was.”
Anthony C., client in Los Angeles, USAAnthony C. — Los Angeles, USA
