After providing some background information about our shirts and trousers, I also wanted to highlight our collection of accessories.

Neckwear
Our neckwear collection is produced in the South of Italy by a family-run company that has been making ties for more than 50 years. From the cutting to sewing the slip stitch, every step is done by hand.

The majority of our collection is made in a 3-fold construction, and we also carry some 7-fold ties. The blades are generally untipped and hand-rolled.

Fabrics include Ancient Madder silk by Adamley, grenadine by Fermo Fossati, and worsted wool by Fox Brothers.

Socks
Our socks are produced in Northern Italy by one of the finest sock manufacturers in the world. All socks are hand linked and each pair takes 12 manual steps to complete. Only the finest materials are used such as Egyptian cotton, Australian merino wool, and Himalayan cashmere.

After a year of development, it is with great pleasure that I introduce the first jacket in our new house cut.

Our house style is characterised by a full chest, soft extended shoulders, and a relatively wide lapel with a low gorge. One of the most distinctive features is the slanted dart running from armhole to pocket. A fit that is comfortable and flattering to all body types.

Cut from an open Irish linen cloth that is so sturdy and heavy that it almost feels like a summer tweed. A cloth that ages gracefully and softens over time.

You can view the jacket here, more pictures of the jacket on a model will follow.

Curious to hear your thoughts and questions.

Would love to see examples of how to match it with trousers. Also, what was the inspiration for jetted pockets?

Lastly, shoulder measurements aren't showing up!

A true two button with a low gorge and jetted pockets! That's feels like a pretty distinctive RTW offering these days!

Thanks for pointing that out, shoulder measurements are now visible.

Italian suits and sport coats from the ’50s and ’60s are a tremendous source of inspiration. In particular, Florentine tailoring worn by Marcello Mastroianni. This houndstooth jacket was inspired by a jacket from the 1961 movie L'Assassino

It’s actually a ‘three-roll-two’ jacket, but I noticed this is not visible in the pictures due to the lapel roll. I will make sure to mention this in the product description.

Ah! Sorry I missed this. Still think it's very different from a lot of other RTW out there. Are the sleeves finished?

Do you deduct VAT for non-EU destinations? Doing so gets the price below the de minimis threshold for U.S. orders.

The sleeves are left unfinished so they can be altered to the desired length

Orders shipped to countries outside the European Union, are excluded from VAT.

However, if you're location is set to the US, the price is (probably) already shown excluding VAT.

Thanks, Victor. I'll reach out to you directly if I have any issues with the order.
