Fall 2008 Outerwear Preview

Cooler weather always drives the need for spectacular outerwear. Great pieces of high quality outerwear will bring you years of enjoyment. Most professional clothiers will tell you it is a wise investment to spend as much on an outerwear piece as you would spend on a good suit. A good outwear piece will not only serve its primary purpose of keeping you warm and dry but it will protect your clothing investment and offer you great distinctive styling options to mirror your lifestyle.
Topcoats

Our new Sartoria collection of topcoats represents the best of Italian style and fit. It exemplifies the luxury lifestyle. The collection mixes personal style with comfort and elegance. Great details such as the interior newspaper pocket, wallet pocket and cell phone pocket add functionality and everyday comfort. This mixed with the specially designed quilted interior gives you a stylish design that you will wear with admiration.


Our Loro Piana “Stormtech” is lightweight, luxurious and made with a special bonding that repels water, providing you the ultimate wind and rain protection. The Loro Piana Stormtech coat is not as heavy as a topcoat, but a little heavier than a raincoat, making it the perfect in-between weight that you can take from the UK to Rome and all around the US.



100 % pure cashmere is the perfect option for a topcoat. It is extremely soft and luxurious to the hand and is sophisticated and elegant with a suit and tie. Our cashmere topcoats are accented with pic stitched edges and slightly contrasting buttons.


Raincoats

Our eagerly anticipated Holland & Sherry raincoat for gentlemen is styled in the time honored British tradition of luxurious exclusivity, elegance, comfort and functionality.  It is made in Italy of special premium cotton in a light tan gabardine according to our exacting high quality standards.

The Holland & Sherry raincoat is practical and versatile, notably with its removable navy wool lining and storm collar, changing it from a rainproof topcoat into a lightweight raincoat for damp or chilly days.  The raglan sleeves allow for ease of movement and comfort. Great details such as the very useful inside newspaper pocket (known in Britain as a poacher’s pocket),the removable belt with brass D-rings, epaulettes and belted cuff straps all owe their functional origins to trench coats worn by resolute British army officers during World War I. The brass D-rings were used to secure grenades, side arms, water canteens and tea mugs. The Holland & Sherry raincoat is cut single breasted with a covered fly front, giving the wearer a contemporary slim silhouette with a dignified, distinguished and authoritative demeanor.

The Holland & Sherry raincoat, which deserves to be accessorized with a luxurious pure cashmere scarf from Holland & Sherry, is an essential addition to every discerning man's wardrobe and absolutely perfect for the demands and rigors of travel locally or around the world.

Shearling, also known as Sheepskin, is the hide of a sheep or lamb with the wool or soft fur left on. Virtually no outerwear provides longer wear or more natural warmth than a genuine shearling garment. A proper shearling jacket can run as much as your first car, but with proper care, will last you a lifetime.
