The lapel roll refers to the gentle, natural curve of a jacket’s lapel from the collar down to the button, defining the silhouette while adding character and movement.
The lapel roll is the gentle curve from collar to button that gives a jacket its shape and character. Achieved through hand-padding and precise stitching, it adds depth and elegance while signaling true craftsmanship. Unlike rigid, machine-pressed alternatives, a well-formed roll flows naturally, marking a suit as bespoke in every detail.
Created and perfected by master tailors in Savile Row and Neapolitan ateliers, the lapel roll reflects the skill and eye of the craftsman.

Recognized since the early 20th century in classic tailoring, the lapel roll distinguishes a soft, hand-padded lapel from rigid, machine-pressed alternatives. Visible along the front of the jacket, it begins at the collar and flows through the chest, subtly shaping the lapel and chest line.
A well-formed lapel roll adds depth, elegance, and personality to a jacket, quietly signaling expert hand-crafting and setting a bespoke garment apart from off-the-rack styles. Achieved through precise hand-padding and careful stitching, the lapel is shaped stitch by stitch to create a soft curve that naturally rolls toward the button — a fluidity that machine construction rarely replicates.
