This, the last of my spring and summer features on spring and summer jackets, is about a very special Italian label, Brunello Cucinelli. Here Shaun Cole wears a linen suit from their current spring/summer range. Beautifully-cut, it's a pleasure to wear and exudes the care, craftsmanship and quality that Cucinelli are so proud of. The most costly of the products featuring in our review, it's a masterpiece of Italian design and manufacture.

Brunello Cucinelli is the successful head of his eponymous business and he combines his drive to forge a successful brand with an underlying interest in human dignity, a form of contemporary capitalism be calls 'humanistic'. These beliefs have driven him to restore a whole Italian village to provide work and living places that provide an ideal place for living and working.
His belief in the promotion of Italian skills and manufacture resonates with those who have similar hopes for British industry. Making very high-quality products that are classic, well-made and comfortable has resulted in a brand that offers much more than just menswear. Men love their clothes to reflect a value, to be supported by a good story, generally involving craftsmanship, care and integrity. Brunello Cucinelli's aim is to offer all these.
