LUIGI BIANCHI'S HYBRID BLAZER

In a world where fewer and fewer are wearing classic tailoring, Luigi Bianchi has created the Hybrid Blazer, a perfect mix of blazer and jacket. Crafted from a soft, luxurious virgin wool and cashmere blend. The Hybrid Blazer with a detachable front byb, which works as an extra warming detail while wearing it as a jacket, but can easily be removed to appear as a classic blazer.

In this week’s look, the Hybrid Blazer is tonally matched with a seasonal grey rollneck from Filippo de Laurentiis, knitted from a soft mix of wool and cashmere, and a pair of white cotton corduroy comfort chinos from Incotex. The look is completed with a pair of sturdy derbies in the model Micheal from Paraboot and accessories from Smythson. 

This look wearing the Hybrid Blazer is perfect for those early autumn days, where the mornings can be a bit chilly but the afternoons allow for a coffee outside in the sun.

COASTAL RETREAT

As we move into early au­tumn weather, it’s still not too late to visit the ocean for a coastal re­treat. On a calm, sunny day the beach can be quite lovely this time of the year, going for a long walk, and ob­serv­ing the ever-​changing na­ture dur­ing the tran­si­tional pe­riod be­tween sum­mer and au­tumn.

This week’s look wants to in­spire what to wear for this time of out­ing, where it’s im­por­tant to be pre­pared for shift­ing weather and tem­per­a­ture drops. For these oc­ca­sions, lay­er­ing is key to stay­ing warm yet still ap­pre­ci­at­ing the warmth from the oc­ca­sional sun­beam.

Pierre is wear­ing a dark taupe gilet from Save the Duck, which has been padded with tech­ni­cal down for warmth. The gilet is lay­ered over a crew neck fairisle sweater from Alan Paine, knit­ted using pure lamb­swool. To con­quer the var­i­ous ter­rain at the beach, he’s wear­ing a pair of choco­late brown suede boots from Sanders, fit­ted with a sturdy rub­ber sole.

WEEKEND GETAWAY

The au­tumn sea­son is soon upon us and nowa­days you find your days often filled with meet­ings and chores, yet your sum­mer ad­ven­tures still linger in your mem­ory and you still feel that there is time for a week­end get­away. Why not in­dulge your­self with a trip to the nearby city you never found the time to visit dur­ing your sum­mer hol­i­day? To dis­cover a mu­seum or per­haps treat your­self to some shop­ping. 

This week’s look wants to give some in­spi­ra­tion to that get­away by pre­sent­ing a muted palette of gar­ments lay­ered for com­fort and ver­sa­til­ity. Fredrik is wear­ing the caban jacket from De Petrillo in moss green, crafted from a soft mix of wool and cash­mere, which is com­bined with a tonal look con­sist­ing of a camel al­paca wool roll­neck from Zanone and a pair of camel cot­ton pleated trousers from Luigi Bianchi. No week­end get­away is com­plete with­out a proper bag, here you see the sig­na­ture travel duf­fle from Frank Clegg in sand suede and co­gnac leather de­tails.

CHUNKY KNITS

Lo­cated on its name­sake is­land in Gal­way Bay, Ire­land, Inis Meáin draws in­spi­ra­tion from the isle’s land­scape and in­hab­i­tants. Tra­di­tional Aran stitch­ing is ex­e­cuted in the finest yarns to cre­ate mod­ern yet au­then­tic de­signs in colours in­spired by the land­scape of the is­land.

In this week’s look, Pierre is wear­ing the brand’s Storm Jacket, which is a per­fect ex­am­ple of the her­itage and crafts­man­ship that Inis Meain has been renowned for. Crafted from pure navy blue merino yarns, mak­ing it both durable and warm. Worn with a white tex­tured cot­ton shirt from Stenströms, cre­at­ing a mod­ern look where the storm jacket serves as a ca­sual al­ter­na­tive to the tai­lored blazer.

The look is com­pleted with a warm­ing cash­mere beanie in a match­ing navy blue from Amanda Chris­tensen and a pair of con­tem­po­rary boots from RM Williams, made in the model Went­worth in choco­late brown suede leather.

THE POLO COAT

This timeless look revolves around a clas­sic piece in menswear, the navy blue polo coat, or as Luigi Bianchi likes to call it the dream coat. Cut from a heavy and warm wool-​cashmere blend woven in Italy by Loro Piana. The clas­sic polo coat has sev­eral sar­to­r­ial de­tails such as a 6×2 but­ton stance, turn­back cuffs and in the back an in­verted box-​pleat along with a Mar­tin­gale waist­band. To­gether it cre­ates a coat that can be worn for­mal with a suit but also more ca­sual with jeans and a sweat­shirt, as seen here.

The grey sweater comes from Sun­spel, made of a soft cot­ton loop­back, and the jeans are from COF Studio, made of 13oz selvedge cot­ton.

To com­plete the look, Hen­rik is wear­ing a ribbed cash­mere beanie from William Lockie in light grey and a pair of hi-​top boots from Sanders, in a polo brown suede leather.

PRE-FALL 2023

The summer isn't over yet. But the first signs of fall are upon us, with chilly mornings and treacherous, shifting weather, where nature abandons its green veil for a cover in muted tones of yellow, orange and red.

It’s a season of layering, where we forsake our lighter garments for the warming comfort of heavier knits, technical jackets and sturdy boots. Find some pre-fall inspiration at Baltzar.

LAYERS OF LINEN

When warmer tem­per­a­tures are ap­proach­ing it’s per­fect, and some­times highly nec­es­sary, to drape your­self in lay­ers of linen, the ul­ti­mate sum­mer cloth. Both sturdy and long-​lasting, yet also highly breath­able and fin­ished with a soft han­dle. Often made in a bright, sen­sa­tional colour palette, where its creases and wrin­kles cre­ate a great char­ac­ter to the gar­ment over time.

THE MOULINE JACKET

The Ital­ian fash­ion brand Mau­r­izio Bal­das­sari was founded in the beau­ti­ful and af­flu­ent dis­trict of Brera, steeped in the fash­ion­able and cul­tural his­tory of Milan. This rich her­itage has in­flu­enced the brand’s com­mit­ment to using high-​​quality ma­te­ri­als and craft­ing el­e­gant, well-​​balanced de­signs.

In this week’s look, we in­tro­duce the brand’s mouline jacket, here crafted using a cream-​white cotton-​viscose blend called sum­mer mouline. The mixed fi­bres give the jacket a dry han­dle and along with the flex­i­ble knit add breatha­bil­ity. It’s a per­fect ca­sual al­ter­na­tive to the more for­mal blazer for an in­ti­mate din­ner party or sum­mer cel­e­bra­tion.

The jacket is com­bined with a light beige long-​sleeve polo shirt from Fedeli, made of a cotton-​linen mix, a pair of nat­ural beige selvedge jeans from Tela Gen­ova and a pair of un­lined suede boots from As­tor­flex.

THE SAFARI BLAZER

Luigi Bianchi is the tai­lored di­vi­sion of the clas­sic Ital­ian cloth­ing com­pany, Lu­biam, which is still run by the same fam­ily since its be­gin­nings back in 1911. The com­pany has ever since the start been de­voted to re­search and in­no­va­tion, in order to cre­ate time­less gar­ments of great qual­ity and style.

This week’s look focus on the brand’s sa­fari blazer, here in a grass green crafted using a mixed cotton-​linen thread. The Sa­fari blazer works great to­gether with tai­lored trousers and a dress shirt, but can also be worn, like in this ex­am­ple, more ca­su­ally as a jacket.

The blazer is tonally matched with a grass green polo shirt from Mauro Ottaviani, made of pure linen that has been washed to obtain a worn-in look, and a pair of light brown pleated shorts from Berwich, also made of a washed linen fabric. The look is completed with a pair of olive green cotton canvas espadrilles from Castañer.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL WARDROBE STAPLES

The spring sea­son is in many ways a time of tran­si­tion, na­ture moves from colder to warmer weather, naked breaches trans­form with early blos­som and we change gar­ments from pro­tec­tive ther­mal com­po­si­tions to lighter ma­te­ri­als with a brighter colour palette.

Given these sea­sonal pre­req­ui­sites, when mov­ing from win­ter to spring and later sum­mer, you want to build a wardrobe that in­cor­po­rates a few tran­si­tional pieces, which eas­ily can be com­bined, lay­ered and ul­ti­mately tran­scend be­tween sea­sons. By in­vest­ing in qual­ity pieces that can be worn through­out the sea­sons, you can build a wardrobe that is not only func­tional but also sus­tain­able.

In this guide, we want to give you a few ex­am­ples of multi-​functional sta­ples from our sea­sonal col­lec­tion and how you can wear them in mul­ti­ple ways.

THE SUMMER BRENTA

The Ital­ian fash­ion brand Maurizio Baldassari was founded in the beau­ti­ful and af­flu­ent dis­trict of Brera, steeped in the fash­ion­able and cul­tural his­tory of Milan.

In this week’s look, we in­tro­duce the sum­mer ver­sion of their clas­sic Brenta Jacket, here crafted using a cotton-​viscose blend called sum­mer mouline. The mixed fi­bres give the jacket a dry han­dle and along with the flex­i­ble knit add breatha­bil­ity. It’s a per­fect ca­sual al­ter­na­tive to the more for­mal blazer and can be styled more for­mally with a dress shirt or as pic­tured more ca­sual to­gether with jeans.

The raw blue jeans are from Tela Genova, as well as the white Hen­ley t-​shirt. The look is com­pleted with a pair of white cot­ton can­vas retro train­ers from Spring Court.
