RISERVA (Italy) by Luchiano Visconti Men's Pure Wool Check Luxury Blazer

A sport coat great for layering over the upcoming cold-weather season. here’s something ineffably elegant about an Italian blazer. Distinguished and nonchalant in equal measure, it exudes that ever-elusive style ingredient; panache. Could it be the lightness of the cloth? Is it the trimly tailored fit? Perhaps it’s the unlined, unpadded construction — allowing for far greater freedom than most Englishmen are used to. Who knows. We sure don’t. In fact, if anyone could have explained the magic of the Italian blazer, it would probably have been a gentleman named Vincenzo Attolini. In the 1930s, Attolini was an apprentice with Gennaro Rubinacci in Naples. Neapolitan suits, at that time, still closely resembled their thickly-stitched Savile Row cousins. But not for long. At Rubinacci’s suggestion, Attolini took pity on his fellow Neapolitans — stifling and stuffed into hot woolen jackets— and redefined menswear forever. How? By creating the light, open, yet unmistakably elegant blazer style we know and revere today. If possible you should be looking to buy an Italian blazer. It will subtly upgrade your wardrobe and add an air of European ‘cool’ to any outfit. * Besom pockets * Pure Wool
