Manifattura Ceccarelli jackets: construction and materials
Founded in 1998 in Forlì by Giuliano Ceccarelli, Manifattura Ceccarelli produces outerwear entirely in Italy using natural materials selected for durability and performance. The construction philosophy is direct: no synthetic coatings, no rigid linings. The fabric — WX paraffin cotton or PannoStia virgin wool — is the structural element of the garment. Each model is designed to function as part of a modular system of attachable layers.
Mountain Jacket — WX paraffin cotton
The Mountain Jacket (code 7003-WX) is the most recognizable model of the Ceccarelli production. Crafted from paraffin cotton with WX treatment, it offers water repellency and breathability without synthetic membranes. The detachable hood is constructed with a rear zip and four front snap buttons — a system that keeps it snug as if sewn — and two drawstrings to adapt to the face. The zip-pulls are in vegetable tanned leather. Available in Chocolate, Navy, and Dark Green variants for the Fall/Winter 25-26 season. The Chocolate variant is the best-seller confirmed by the store's historical sales.
Care requires hand washing with a damp sponge and Marseille soap; the waxing must be renewed hot with dedicated paraffin. Do not iron.
New Fisherman Parka — workwear length brought to the city
The New Fisherman Parka (code 7091-WX) interprets the fisherman's parka shape in WX paraffin cotton. The extended length compared to the Mountain Jacket ensures additional coverage in the lumbar area — a functional choice before an aesthetic one. Available in Chocolate and Green variants for the Fall/Winter 25-26 season. Same construction logic as the Mountain Jacket: cotton, leather, without membranes or synthetic layers.
Blazer Coat — the urban outerwear in WX
The Blazer Coat (code 7066-WX) brings the blazer shape into the logic of paraffin cotton. Structured silhouette, construction without rigid lining, available in Chocolate, Dark Tan, Mid Blue, and Orange for the Fall/Winter 25-26 season.
The All Season Blazer Coat (code 6038-CS) is the spring-summer version: same shape, different fabric, available in Orange and Light Green for the Spring/Summer 26 season. The brand's metafield documents the modular system's compatibility: the All Seasons Vest (code 6920) attaches inside the All Seasons Blazer Coat via a reversible vislon zip, transforming external pockets into internal ones and adding a thermal layer.
New Travel Vest — spring vest
The New Travel Vest (code 6913-CE), available in Navy and Light Green for the Spring/Summer 26 season, is the lightweight vest that completes the offer in the warmer season. Standalone use, construction consistent with the rest of the line.
Layering system and modular vests
The collection's vests are divided into two families, described in the brand's technical documentation:
- Mountain Vest (7916): WX paraffin cotton, body lining in teddy (90% wool, 10% polyester), padding in Italian virgin wool wadding. Two-way zip with vegetable tanned leather zip-pulls. Designed for standalone use.
- All Seasons Vest (6920): quilted nylon with Italian wool padding. Vislon zip with reversible slider: works as a single vest or attaches to the All Seasons Blazer Coat (6038-CS), transforming into an internal thermal layer with an additional pocket.
How to choose among Manifattura Ceccarelli jackets
For the main mid-season or winter outerwear:the Mountain Jacket (7003-WX) is the starting point. It works alone in the intermediate season; adding the compatible modular vest makes it a layering system.
For those seeking broader coverage:the New Fisherman Parka (7091-WX) extends the silhouette downwards with the same construction logic and the same paraffin fabric.
For predominantly urban use:the Blazer Coat (7066-WX in Fall/Winter, 6038-CS in Spring/Summer) maintains a more structured line, recognizable as quality outerwear without outdoor characterization.
For the warm season:the All Season Blazer Coat in lightweight fabric and the New Travel Vest cover the spring-summer window with the same Italian construction, in Orange, Light Green, and Navy palettes.
Natural pairings in the store: the chino and denim pants from the sectionmen's pantsintegrate with Ceccarelli models without forcing a technical look.

FAQ — Manifattura Ceccarelli jackets
What happened to Ceccarelli?
Manifattura Ceccarelli is active. The brand founded in 1998 in Forlì by Giuliano Ceccarelli continues to produce outerwear in Italy. Confusion arises because "Ceccarelli" is a common surname: the SERP mixes the clothing brand with Ceccarelli Group (logistics, Udine) and individuals with the same name. The current collection includes Fall/Winter 25-26 and Spring/Summer 26 models.
Who owns the Ceccarelli clothing brand?
Manifattura Ceccarelli was founded in 1998 by Giuliano Ceccarelli in Forlì. It should not be confused with Ceccarelli Group, a supply chain and logistics company based in Udine: these are completely distinct entities, with no corporate or product links.
How do you care for a WX paraffin cotton jacket?
Paraffin cotton garments — Mountain Jacket, New Fisherman Parka, Blazer Coat — cannot be machine washed or dry cleaned. They are cleaned with a damp sponge and Marseille soap. Waxing is renewed hot with dedicated paraffin, applied to a heated surface or with a hairdryer. No type of iron.
What is PannoStia?
PannoStia is a 100% virgin wool fabric with natural water-repellent properties. Unlike chemical treatments, water protection comes from the fiber structure itself. Manifattura Ceccarelli uses it in the Wool Cruiser Jacket for a mid-weight outerwear suitable for multiple seasons, breathable and without synthetic membranes.
Do All Seasons Vests attach to all jackets?
No. The All Seasons Vest (code 6920) is specifically designed to attach to the All Seasons Blazer Coat (6038-CS) via a vislon zip with a reversible slider, which allows both front closure for standalone use and internal attachment to the compatible jacket. On other models from the brand or other brands, the attachment system is not guaranteed.
What to pair with a Ceccarelli Mountain Jacket?
The Mountain Jacket in paraffin cotton pairs well with garments without excessive technical layers. Selvedge denim or heavy chinos work better than technical pants. For footwear, a leather workwear boot — like those from theRed Wing Heritage— or a natural leather loafer maintain material consistency. The complete selection of pants is available in themen's pantscategory of the store.
