What to know about Brioni
Brioni is a Roman menswear house founded in 1945 by tailor Nazareno Fonticoli and salesman Gaetano Savini, and named after the Brijuni islands. Suits, formalwear, knitwear and leather goods are hand-finished at its atelier in Penne, Abruzzo, home to the house's Nazareno Fonticoli School of Haute Tailoring. Creative director Norbert Stumpfl, in post since 2018, favours a soft, fluid silhouette in cashmere, vicuna and silk. Kering has owned the brand since 2011 and appointed Federico Arrigoni CEO in May 2025, the year Brioni marked its 80th anniversary.
How Brioni fits
Overall fit
true to size
Brioni is generally regarded as true to size within a soft, elegant Italian silhouette, with a comfortable natural-shoulder cut rather than an exaggeratedly slim or boxy shape.
Tip: Take your usual tailored size; the soft construction is forgiving, but confirm the drop and consider MTM for a precise fit.

| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jackets | true to size | soft natural shoulder, lightly shaped through the chest and waist | Order your normal jacket size; the softer canvas drapes cleanly, but book MTM if your drop differs from standard. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | regular, gently tapered dress-trouser cut | Take your usual waist and plan to have the length finished to your inseam. |
| Shirts & overshirts | true to size | regular, clean dress-shirt fit | Use your standard collar size; expect a classic rather than slim cut. |
