In business since 1780, Cilento is as much a slice of Neapolitan history as it is a gentlemen's atelier, run by the eighth generation of the same family and adorned with historical textiles and other sartorial artefacts. Bespoke suits aside, its seven-fold silk ties are also highly prized. Other temptations include handmade shoes, ready-to-wear polo shirts, bags, fragrances and scarves.
