Coveted ,350 Brunello Cucinelli Navy Cardigan with Branded Metal Buttons
Brunello Cucinelli is right up there for the most expensive line in the world. Their claim to fame is their knitwear, which is second to none. Brunello supports the entire town of Solomeo, Italy training the next generations in handmade artisan tailoring. No expense is spared in keeping these Italian traditions alive and well.
This piece is a perfect example of their artistry. It has that “just right” tailoring right off the rack; not too tight to bunch, not too loose and baggy. Double-breasted garments have always been flattering to a man’s silhouette the way they wrap the torso creating that masculine V-taper. These have been favored by many timeless style icons like Gary Cooper, Steve McQueen, Robert Redford and many more. I love the ornate military inspired Cucinelli branded buttons, which add gravitas.
It was inspired by classic menswear blazers. This double breasted cardigan demonstrates the exquisite quality of Brunello Cucinelli yarns. The cotton thread is woven using the Garza technique rendering the item both lightweight and compact, giving the garment a balanced weight, ideal for the transitional seasons. The metal button fastening completes the style of the cardigan, which can also be worn as outerwear over sweaters and lighter pieces (no one is better at layering than Cucinelli!)
The beauty of these piece is in the versatility. It can be worn a number of ways (see photos) -- open, partially buttoned, or fully buttoned; each a can’t miss look depending on your mood, the weather, and comfort.
