Back in the 60′s, the corduroy jacket was a staple of the Ivy League wardrobe. Every guy had one or two hanging up ready to throw on. Somewhere along the line, guys forgot about how easy and stylish the corduroy jacket was. It straddles the line between a sport coat and outerwear. It can go [...]

Luigi Bianchi Mantova has a little brother brand of its own named L.B.M 1911. As expected, they have trendier items with modern cuts–and modern (cheaper) prices. This is the kind of stuff you’d see a stylish college student in Milan wearing out at night. The Fall ’09 collection mixes patterns and textures beautifully, which is [...]

When we saw the Polo Vintage Collection ad in the September edition of GQ, we nearly shat our pants. We went around the web looking for what in the hell it was, but came up with nothing. Finally this morning we had our answers. The tailored goods in the Polo Ralph Lauren collection for the [...]

Yesterday in our turtleneck Piece by Piece, we used a jacket by the Italian brand Luigi Bianchi Mantova. The jacket was gorgeous, but when we did a little more digging, we found the brand behind it was marvelous. The Italian brand was started by Luigi Bianchi when he left his home town of Mantova to [...]

When we saw this piece in Opening Ceremony, we instantly fell in love. These little ghosts are a completely unique pattern that no other brand has ever touched. The linen adds a cool textural effect. The shape and slim diamond point design is just what the doctor ordered. From afar, this could just look like [...]
