Stile Latino Fall '16

Stile Latino Fall '16

The name Attolini may not be instantly recognizable in the U.S., but in Italy it is synonymous with Neapolitan tailoring. Vincenzo Attolini, grandfather of the Vincenzo Attolini who founded Stile Latino, is credited with ushering in the distinctive style of modern Neapolitan suits and jackets—soft unstructured shoulders, unlined or minimally lined body, trim fit and easygoing air.

Fedeli's Verso Cashmere Sweaters

Fedeli's Verso Cashmere Sweaters

It’s no wonder half-zip sweaters are some of our most popular knitted pieces. What’s better than a thick, warm, luxuriantly soft wool or cashmere sweater on a crisp fall day or a cold winter evening by the fire? Sweaters are so enjoyable to wear, and they simply exude classic fall and winter style. Half-zip sweaters in particular have an extremely versatile look. They dress up nicely with a dress shirt or even a sport coat for a formal look with a slight edge, while the collar makes for a more ‘finished’ look than a crewneck when worn casually with a t-shirt (also it’s nice to have some extra warmth on the neck on cold days!).

Boglioli Cashmere - The Cause of Unsolicited Stroking

Boglioli Cashmere

Boglioli Cashmere

4 generations of tailors from the Boglioli family have made Gambara in the province of Brescia in Northern Italy their home. Classic tailoring was their business until the two brothers, Mario and Pierreluigi changed the name of their brand to the family name, and began experimenting with fabric compositions and treatments.

With the casual lifestyle promoted much by the dot com crowd of the late 90's, the Boglioli brothers saw an opportunity to modify the make of the traditional tailored jacket. They eliminated the lining, took the roping out of the shoulders and washed and dyed the finished product. The result was a softer, lighter jacket that was much easier to wear. They found that with no lining and the garment washed, the fabric became much more pliable, allowing a snugger fit of the jacket without compromising elegance or comfort.

The Kiton Matador and Lia Jackets

Kiton Matador Jacket

Entirely hand sewn, this bolero style jacket by Kiton features an exquisite blend of cashmere, wool, linen, and silk. Combined, these materials create an elegant and smooth herringbone fabric, exclusive to Kiton, with a subtle sheen that seems to welcome the evening as much as the light of day. There is no form of closure to this piece and yet it manages to maintain its form and drape ever so perfectly. The hand sewn seam around the middle of the jacket together with the subtle darts that fan out from the middle are details that further enhance this flattering piece. Its Satin lining, roped shoulders, and no pockets maintain a clean, unaffected look. As expected, the Kiton Matador Jacket fits impeccably true to size. Made in Italy.
