Damn, This Is A Beautiful Fuzzy Coat, I'd Love Too See That Footwork...

Thank you! i really love your personal style and taste, so for me is a huge compliment

The weather was unusually warm and sunny today.

I've been really enthralled with mismatched navy on navy combinations lately so this is a slightly different take on the outfit I posted last time. This time with a hopsack jacket and high-twist trousers accompanying the pique cotton polo (instead of flannel and cavalry twill). Given the fact that it's summer cloths all around, I thought loafers would go better here compared to split-toe derbies - so swapped out the EG Dovers for Belgravia.

Last week I showed my new camel coat and I have to thank you because it has received a lot of love. This week I'll show you another gem my tailor got me last year. Here in Florence the heat is back, so unfortunately I can't wear it yet. 100% Alpaca with raglan sleeve. I still have to find a way to wear it, because this shoulder style and soft cut is still something i have to get used to, but I can't wait to have fun and create interesting outfits with this in a few weeks!

Beautiful!
I plan to make a similar one, although a little shoter.

A totally different piece compared to that shown previously. I'm not a fan of the raglan style, but can see its advantage in being more easily wearable over a suit or a sport coat, whereas a more tailored one, with inset shoulders, could give some fitting problems, that is you should maybe choose a bigger size, making it though less suitable to be worn on its own.

Nice cloth, colour and pattern that well suit the style.

Do you know the Maremmana jacket (typical of Maremma's area)? This is a model in velvet-effect leather, with a fur collar. Maremmana jackets are a garment that many years ago were worn by the Italian version of the cowboys (They were called Butteri) and one of their distinctive feature is this very large and particular pocket, called the "Tasca ladra" (thief pocket) . Personally I love this jacket. Fun pieces to wear that recall my culture and are only from here

Today the next cultural event happens. I am attending the Preimere of Donizettis L'elisir d'amore.

that is just gorgeous... i have a suggestion to make... have you ever heard about panno casentino? i am from tuscany and it's a wool cloth made only in casentino that is really iconic. it's a really old fabric, the oldest one are from 1500. I have a coat in a bright orange (that is the original traditional color), but it does extist in many bright colors. You might like it!

I know Casentino. To be honest, I´m not the biggest fan of the fabric. But thanks for mentioning it.

I like the jacket, but, as I see, it's too casual to be styled as you did. It would look better with a turtleneck, or a more casual shirt, anyway without a tie. Nice scarf.

Personally i really like to mix formal and casual. the tie it's hunting inspired, but i get that it's not for everyone 😊

A more casual combination than usual for a Monday at the office.
