Pitti veteran Tom Stubbs shares his top 10 list of favorite stop-and-chats at the biannual menswear fair in Florence, Italy.
about five years ago now and to my mind it’s even finer than it was the first time around. They’ve got long, close, deep, almost obsessive relationships with manufacturing and that translates into a different look and feel that’s not glaringly obvious, but if you know the stuff and you work with it—and you wear it—then you can tell. Plus they adopt a dynamic, extremely focused approach that delivers very nuanced finish and detail.
I don’t think that’s possible for the big brands. Connolly is showing its ‘Sporting’ collection, essentially driving gear, at Pitti: it’s not boundary breaking but it’s deeply luxe and casual. My utter fave piece is the Navy performance parka in membrane bonded wool: other best bits include the drop back wool car vest and driving sweatshirt with side zip funnel neck, a wicked little casual detail.”“This isn’t a fashion brand, which is one of the reasons I like it so much.
New for Pitti to come are their irregular ‘Garza’ regatta stripe 8cm ties in different textures of silk Grenadine—gentle subversion in a conservative format via fabrics woven on old, precious looms near Como. That’s stone cold, under the radar sophistication right there. It’s beautiful stuff, out of date in a brilliant way. I know the tie is at its lowest ebb right now but I’m still shocked when I go into the posh London dining clubs and they’re all not wearing a tie.
