Pal Zileri
Italian tailoring from Vicenza since 1980 — formal and smart menswear, named for a palazzo.
Vicenza, 1980.
Pal Zileri was created in 1980 by the Forall tailoring company in Vicenza; the name evokes Palazzo Zileri, a building in the city’s historic centre. The house makes formal and smart-casual menswear — suits, jackets and coats — in the Italian sartorial tradition.
As a maker, Pal Zileri cuts and constructs the garment; the cloth is frequently woven by the great Italian mills.

Who made it, and who wove it.
As a tailoring house, Pal Zileri cuts and constructs the garment — the cloth itself is often woven by a specialist mill. A “Pal Zileri coat in Loro Piana cloth” means Pal Zileri made the coat and Loro Piana wove the fabric: two different kinds of excellence, both worth knowing. It is why we record the maker and, where the label states it, the mill.
We assess each Pal Zileri piece on the cut, the construction and the honest condition — and we record the maker and, where stated, the cloth.
We make no claim of certification or exact dating beyond what the garment carries.
Full measurements and condition are on each product page. Maker and, where present, mill labelling is recorded as found.Why vintage Pal Zileri
is worth it.
Italian construction of this kind ages well, and a well-kept piece in fine mill cloth carries a hand that is expensive to reproduce today. Vintage lets you own that make with its condition described plainly.
