Buying pre-ownedHow to read one

Read the piece,
not the name.

With a pre-owned Davide Cenci piece, read the cloth label first, then the make: a jacket or coat with a floating canvas rolls softly at the lapel, while a fused one stays flat and can bubble with age. Check the shoulder seams, the lining and the buttonholes, and compare flat measurements with a garment that already fits you. Our Suit & Blazer Story explains what to look for.
