Summer Highlights: The Gagliardi Yellow and Sky Stripe Jacket: Part 2

The big picture

Recently, we talked about the Gagliardi Yellow and Sky Stripe jacket which is a piece that caught our eye this summer. In their promotional video, the Gagliardi people present their vision of how to incorporate the jacket in your lifestyle and give us a glimpse of what universe the jacket was inspired from.

You can see the video here:

 

 

While we think the video is a good idea of how one can wear the jacket, we believe that any piece can be incorporated by anyone who is in search of a relaxed but elegant look.

Presented at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Malta, the jacket is a highlight of Southern Europe’s best designs and brands. Gagliardi is a Maltese brand with a long history and tradition. Founded by Salvatore “Sunny” Borg in 1964, the brand’s vision is to create affordable suits, jackets and trousers that bring both a classic look and a modern vibe to their customers’ closets.

Analyzing this jacket in detail is a sartorial lesson for us all of what a quality jacket should be.

 

The details

This jacket is a great presence in a man’s wardrobe. With its Mediterranean flair and vibrant energy, the jacket is a great piece to wear with a variety of clothes, from shorts to long pants, bow ties to classic or knit ties.

But the overall construction is not the only thing that makes this jacket special. The creators of the Gagliardi Yellow and Sky Stripe jacket put a lot of thought in the details that make this jacket a power-piece.

For example, one of the first things you notice about this jacket is the light weight material. It is important to have clothes made from all types of materials and this jacket is the right piece to fill out the space dedicated to light weight essentials. The fabric is strong and timeless and is most likely to be just as fresh and strong a long while after you have purchased it. Made from 99% cotton and 1% lycra with a viscose lining, the blazer is not only environmental-friendly, but it is also very adaptable to your body, comfortable and flexible. We always recommend purchasing garments that are made from natural fibers, so a 99% cotton jacket is always a great choice.

 

 

 

Another important detail you need to be looking for when you are looking at a jacket is the buttons and the way they are sewn. In this jackets’ case, the buttons are properly sewn. While this might be a detail to which many men don’t pay attention, you should always keep in mind that the way the buttons of a jacket are sewn is a clear indicator of its quality.
