What to know about Zegna
It started as a wool mill
Founded in Trivero in 1910 as a fabric mill, Zegna still develops its own materials, including Oasi Cashmere and Oasi Linen, rather than buying cloth in.
Sartori's tailoring is soft, tonal
Under artistic director Alessandro Sartori the house builds fluid, single-colour outfits, with Su Misura made-to-measure for customers who want structured suits.
A group, not a single label
Zegna is the flagship of the family-led, NYSE-listed Ermenegildo Zegna Group, which also owns Thom Browne and Tom Ford Fashion; the Triple Stitch shoe is its best-known non-tailoring piece.
The pieces that define Zegna
Shop Zegna →Oasi Cashmere
The traceable, fully Zegna-controlled cashmere line anchors the brand's tonal knitwear and outerwear and expresses its heritage as a mill first, a label second.
Explore Oasi Cashmere →Su Misura Tailoring
Made-to-measure suiting built from proprietary wools is the century-old foundation of Zegna's reputation in menswear.

How Zegna fits
Overall fit
slightly small
Zegna is usually described as cut on the trim Italian side, so a portion of shoppers find their usual size snug through the chest, shoulders and thigh, while the newer fluid Sartori-era pieces read closer to true to size or even relaxed.
Tip: Most shoppers do best taking their usual EU size but sizing up one step if they are between sizes, muscular, or coming from US/UK sizing — especially in knitwear and tailoring.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | true to size | regular to lightly relaxed, tailored-leaning sweatshirt shape rather than streetwear boxy | Stick with your usual size, and size up only if you want a genuinely loose, layered look. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly small | slim to tailored through the chest and waist with a high armhole | Size up if you have a fuller chest or prefer room at the collar, since the standard cut is trim. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly small | clean flat-front cut, historically slim through seat and thigh with softer, fuller-leg pleated options in recent collections | Consider one size up in the waist if you are between sizes or have athletic thighs, and expect to hem. |
| Jackets | slightly small | soft-shouldered Italian tailoring with a moderately suppressed waist; outerwear is closer to regular fit | US and UK shoppers typically go a size up from their home number and should expect a trimmer chest than American cuts. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | clean, close-to-body cut with a defined shoulder, though premium cotton and silk-blend tees can drape softer | Take one size up if you want anything other than a fitted look. |
