Can someone please explain this nonsense to me?

I've never seen him wearing something different, I'll ask him to get something more modern for comrade.

A better explanation would help- and be a lot more fun to read. I'm thinking that its the scarf.

I'm finding hard to understand how wearing what he's wearing, a brown herringbone jacket and black shoes, makes him trendy.

I have to agree. It's just a particularly fine example of classic Italian dress norms.

Luciano Barbera is so smooth it kills me. This photo is great....that face! I cannot write what's on my mind here...I have neither the Style Forum cred nor the balls to. It's all good, and certainly meant in good spirits, and those in the men's world who know me would say it's just me being me, but I'll pass. Anyway...I may print this, have it made into a velvet portrait and frame it in a gold antique frame much like those you'd see in a Dolce & Gabbana store in Milan, and hang it over my bed when I need to seduce a twenty-something co-ed with a Daddy fetish.

I like this a lot...

Wish we could see more of it. I mean it's a beautiful fabric, the cut is very nice, the back clean, the shoulders totally unpadded and soft (so much so the waistcoat is showing a ripple along the shoulder), sleeve head perfect, all lovely etc. etc. but I'm finding it hard to see what separates it from a thousand other lovely bespoke suits that are done every year.
What have I missed?

The difference, in my opinion, is that his jackets don't scream (like many others, bespoke or not). Having seen some of his jackets in person, I can assure they are of very high quality, but lack any form of obviously handmade decorum. They are a form of quiet perfection which is rarely seen. In other words: Antonio's tailor is an absolute perfectionist, but he would never tell anybody.

My comments deserve further explanation:

1. The jacket is not old.
2. I dislike the scarf look, almost as much as I dislike
ticket pockets (not seen in this example)

I thought Cravat said the jacket was 20+ years old?

Thank you. After going to Cravate's blog and seeing the rest of the photos I completely got it. It's a beautiful thing to see. I particularly appreciate the fact that it's also a 'regional' piece with authentic aesthetic.

I thought more like 10+ was what he said - but he definitely said it was slightly patinated, had plenty of wearing.

Yes, the tailor also retired and doesnt work regularly anymore, Antonio's got plenty of stuff from him dating back to the 80s I think.
