Pal Zileri's approach for autumn/winter 2017-18 is to find the right balance between the tradition of the company and the modernity of how men dress today. It's a re-imagining of the sartorial. If you say the word 'sartorial', everybody has something a little bit dusty in mind. But with this collection we explain the sartorial story and why it's still relevant to the consumer today.

There are dozens of phases in the making of a Pal Zileri jacket – 180 in total. A lot of people put a great deal of work into the garments – to look at them, nobody would guess what lies behind the tailoring, or have any idea of the chain of events behind it, or that our clothes are the handwork of so many people.
