The sleeve is sewn "shirt", that is the fabric is applied below the shoulder as is used in shirts and with a slight softness of the round: in Naples it is said that it is sewn "a mappina", that is "in strips". Shorter than ordinary Italian jackets, it has wide lapels and is often a three-button stretched at two. The pockets are horizontal, often with important fins, while the pocket is "a barchetta", that is more or less inclined.
