What to know about Corneliani
Corneliani is an Italian luxury menswear house from Mantua, where Alfredo Corneliani made raincoats and outerwear in the 1930s before his sons incorporated the firm in 1958. It builds soft-shouldered suits and sportcoats, notably the modular ID Jacket with interchangeable chest pieces, plus outerwear and knitwear, shown at Milan menswear under style director Stefano Gaudioso Tramonte. Investcorp bought control in 2016; a 2020 creditor composition led to an Investcorp–Invitalia vehicle taking over the business. Invitalia's term ended in 2026; the company, with €73 million 2025 revenue, seeks a long-term investor.
How Corneliani fits
Overall fit
true to size
Corneliani tailoring generally runs true to size within an Italian-cut framework, with a soft shoulder and moderately shaped body that fits most regular builds cleanly.
Tip: Take your usual Italian tailoring size; the soft-shouldered cut suits a natural silhouette without needing to size up.

| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jackets | true to size | soft-shouldered, lightly tailored | Order your standard EU jacket size; the ID Jacket and sportcoats fit close but not slim, so athletic builds may prefer a fitting. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | regular tailored | Take your usual trouser size; the cut is classic with a moderate leg, often sold unfinished for hemming. |
