A GENTLEMEN’S GUIDE TO: MODERN TAILORING

The classic indicator of a man’s sartorial prowess has always been crisp tailoring. Though forms have changed over time, sharp and refined cuts are a fundamental element of the put-together modern gentleman.

And De Bonne Facture has the essentials for that man. Founder Déborah Neuberg started De Bonne Facture by researching ateliers that were emblematic of French menswear staples. To understand her quest, just look at the latest season’s collection, inspired by artists in south-eastern France and focused on classics that allow a man to create his best self: a wing-collared, grey plaid jacket displays a more complex side of the brand, while cream cashmere sweaters and drawstring trousers present a more laid-back style. This is what De Bonne Facture is about: enabling men to create timeless versions of themselves, suitable for any circumstance.

Turn to The Gigi for something different. Focused on sleek, elegant tailoring, master tailor Gigi Boglioli offers a collection that personifies sophistication. His motto, “Don’t look back”, is a message stitched onto every garment. The words are more than just an aesthetic choice, they’re a mantra one lives and breathes when clothed in The Gigi. There’s enough in The Gigi’s repertoire to mix and match — no matter what The Gigi man chooses to wear, it’ll result in a fashion-forward ensemble, one that never looks back.
