Leather,
cut by hand
since 1917.
Three generations, a single hide, and a refusal to make anything that will not outlive its owner. Entirely hand-stitched — and never killed for fashion.
Three generations, entirely by hand
Since 1917, the Moretti house has cut and stitched every jacket by hand — the same machines, the same patience, passed from grandfather to grandchild.
Our story →
Sixty hours, one pair of hands
Every Emilio Moretti jacket is cut from a single hide, stitched on the same machines we have used for decades, and finished by one artisan from first cut to final buckle.
The hide
Vegetable-tanned in Tuscany over weeks, selected by hand for grain and weight.
The cut
A single artisan cuts every panel from one hide so the jacket ages as one.
The finish
Hand-set hardware, hand-finished seams, and a lifetime of free repairs.
Begun in wartime, carried by hand
Emilio Moretti began in 1917, in the lean years of the war, when the founders' grandfathers stitched the first jackets by lamplight. Three generations later, every piece is still cut and sewn by hand — slowly, the only way leather of this kind can be made.
We believe a jacket should be worn for decades and repaired for free for life. And we believe in making it the right way.
Read our storyNo animal is ever killed for our leather
We work exclusively with hides from animals that have already died naturally. Nothing in our atelier asks for an animal's life — only that what remains is honoured, tanned slowly, and made to last.

“A jacket should outlive the season, the trend, and very nearly its owner.”Emilio Moretti, 1917
