Luigi Bianchi Mantova has been making serious strides toward becoming a household name. Their unique take on a tailored and relaxed Italian aesthetic at a reasonable price point continually draws people in. While other Italian brands are trying to make the perfect work-suit or the proper blazer, what these guys do so well is make the sport coat something you can integrate into everyday lifestyle.
In the warmer months, its n0-frills fabrics and unstructured shoulders making for the perfect thing to sling on last minute. In the colder months, its pieces like this beautiful navy wool jacket with a gray windowpane check. The versatility allowed for by the zip-in lining allows you to seamlessly adapt this jacket to your ever-changing location. Wear it without the lining if youre shooting for dressy, wear it with if you can spare the dressiness but cant spare the warmth, or wear it your the way to your dressed up spot and just take it out once youre indoors. Its far easier than an extra piece of outerwear, and when in, it adds a beautiful bit of nuance to the typical lines of a sport coat.
Also wonderful on this piece are gray elbow patches to boost the sportiness of the piece, and matching collar lining which, when exposed, adds to the sporty effect. Pair this piece with any collared shirt and dont hesitate to dress it up. Itll never look right for the office, but itll work for just about anything else. And if it is cold but your day doesnt call for dress having this piece makes for a pretty good excuse to throw on a sport jacket instead of your usual outerwear.
