Commentary
Well fitting trousers have always been difficult for me to find, but this pair, as well as my other trousers from Ambrosi, are the first trousers I've ever owned that have truly fit me well in every possible way. True to my particular style, I paired these trousers with a bold, heavy double-breasted jacket that injected some visual interest and complexity into an otherwise sedate combination. The shell cordovan loafers from Saint Crispin's add textural sophistication.
Anecdotes
Looking through the vintage selection from Orazio Luciano during a trunk show, I was immediately drawn to this fabric given it's heft, color and pattern, as it reminded me in the best possible way of my grandmother's sofa — elegant and enduring.
