Stefano Canali has little time for false prophets. He’s heard a lot of them. For years, the chipper Italian CEO swatted away predictions of imminent doom, the sort that threatened his very livelihood: the 2008 crash; the Covid pandemic; the great work-from-home reformation; the ongoing, crippling cost-of-living crisis. On the surface, all of these appear to be valid concerns. Because Stefano is in the business of suits. And, despite the doomsayers, he’s still in business. “As you can see for yourself, I’m wearing the suit today,” he laughs gently from a very Succession corner office in Canali’s Milan HQ, where the brand moved in 2014 from its ancestral Sovico home, a pretty—if narcoleptic—town around an hour’s drive north. With his soft, precise side parting and immaculate navy suit, Stefano doesn’t look like a spiritual Sovico native. “As a matter of fact, the suit will never die.”

It’s an optimistic forecast. But Stefano’s hypothesis for his brand’s supposed immortality is succinct and clear: “We know that a man looks best in a suit, no matter the construction, no matter the fabrics you use.” So guys continue to invest in expert tailoring—and Canali lives on. [...]

If you asked a stranger to draw a picture of an Italian suit, the finished product might look a lot like Canali. The brand is full of clean lines, and occupies a sweet spot once more: it’s on the slightly cooler side of formal. And that’s a special skill of Italian tailoring at large. Unlike the British philosophy, which is all angles and power shoulders, and American suits, which are generous in the torso and sleeve, the Italian school of thought encourages minimal padding for a softer and more relaxed fit. They’re also lightweight, because Italy can be boiling, and pave the way for a more fluid, languid way to showboat. For a brand that just hit its 90th birthday, Canali looks surprisingly chill.

There’s also the breathless romance that comes with being a European “family-run” business. Granted, Canali isn’t a cottage industry from some crumbling Tuscan villino; its head office is a colossal ice cube of glass and steel. But Stefano is part of the third generation of Canalis, after founding brothers Giacomo and Giovanni and their sons, Giuseppe, Genesio and Eugenio. “My father and my uncles made a very important turning point after the Second World War, because the company was a small one,” Stefano says. “We designed overcoats with new yarn and fabrics such as nylon, and so on and so forth, and we became a leader in the overcoat and raincoat market.” The Canali name feels, and sounds, like prestige. So much so that it convinced Stefano, a promising business grad from Milan’s prestigious Bocconi University and a former Wall Street banker, to return in 2018 to lead the family firm. You can understand the pull. Ask almost any Italian in any town what they think of Canali, and you’ll likely receive a deep and dramatic nod of approval. That sort of national adoration doesn’t come easy.
