The khaki safari jacket in Loro Piana fabric and the navy polo coat are ideal for changing temperatures, whilst the blue chambray Bassetti shirt and the Lanerossi wool polo shirt offer two alternatives depending on the desired style. The tobacco-coloured Chukka boots round off the look with character.

THE RIGHT CHIN
THE RIGHT CHIN
The straight lapel gives the jacket a more structured look and naturally accentuates the bust. A timeless classic of tailoring, it has stood the test of time without following trends and suits all body shapes. Here, it gives the suit a clean, elegant silhouette.

THE OUTER FOLD
THE OUTER FOLD
The outer pleat, positioned at the front of the leg, gives the trousers structure whilst allowing plenty of freedom of movement. It naturally elongates the silhouette and adds character to the cut.

THE ART OF LAYERING: THE SAFARI JACKET IN LORO PIANA FABRIC
THE BELTED SAFARI JACKET IN LORO PIANA WOOL FABRIC
The safari jacket with integrated belt is the transitional piece in this outfit: ideal when a full suit seems too formal. Crafted from a Loro Piana fabric comprising 99 per cent virgin wool and 1 per cent elastane, it combines the drape and breathability of wool with a slight stretch that offers greater comfort and freedom of movement.
Its deep khaki colour complements the navy of the suit perfectly. Its four flap pockets, buttoned shoulder tabs and integrated belt give it its distinctive utilitarian style. Worn with the trousers from the Alfred Brown suit, it creates a more relaxed silhouette whilst remaining elegant and cohesive.

PROTECTION AGAINST THE COLD: THE IN.TES.PRA. POLO COAT
THE IN.TES.PRA NAVY BLUE POLO COAT
The polo coat is the overcoat you grab in the morning without a second thought, the one that sorts things out before the day has even begun. Originating in the cloakrooms of early 20th-century English high society, it was the coat of choice for polo spectators: long, double-breasted, enveloping, designed to keep you warm without restricting movement.
It has endured a century without losing its essence, because its design is spot on. Crafted from an Industria Tessuti Pratesi wool fabric (Prato, Tuscany), its deep navy blue complements any outfit worn beneath it without ever clashing. Over a suit, it ties the look together. Worn over a safari jacket, it complements it perfectly. It possesses that quality of great garments: the ability to make everything else stand out more clearly, simply by being there. It is a proper autumn overcoat, built for real-world temperatures, not for aesthetics alone.

THE DOUBLE-BREASTED CROSS-OVER
THE DOUBLE-BREASTED CROSS-OVER
Six dark blue urea buttons in a double row: this is the fundamental design of the polo coat, a striking front that dresses the entire silhouette in a single gesture. The double-breasted fastening adds an extra layer of warmth — an extra layer of fabric across the torso, where it’s needed most. Wear it buttoned right up for the coldest mornings, or open over a suit for a more relaxed look as the day goes on.

THE MARTINGALE
THE MARTINGALE
A martingale is a half-belt worn at the back, sewn together at both ends and left hanging freely in the centre. Originating in 19th-century military attire, where it was used to adjust the coat at the waist without a visible belt at the front, it is now one of the distinctive features of well-tailored overcoats. On this polo coat, it discreetly accentuates the waist at the back — without constricting or restricting movement — and gives the silhouette a more structured appearance when viewed from behind. It’s the sort of detail you appreciate when you turn round.
