The beautiful season has arrived
And we warmly invite you in it.
Discover our new sunny collection for spring and summer, available now here.
For the spring breeze and the sweet summer evenings,
To be able to do without a bag because we have perfectly adapted pockets,
Because even during spring and summer, layering remains the best way to stay stylish,
And because our love of beautiful materials is not about to stop,
Here are our new jackets and our new jacket for the summer , which is finally showing its face.
Our Alserio jacket
Presented by Benoît
An elegant jacket
I readily admit: for a long time, we had too few jackets in our spring collections, even though it is a season that lends itself perfectly to this type of mid-season clothing.
It was time to reveal our first summer proposal to you!
The vision for this piece was simple: to have an elegant spring jacket in our BonneGueule collection .
Clean lines, relaxed elegance, luxurious material: I'll tell you everything! Auteuil polo shirt and Stintino pants
A piece to wear with a shirt (tucked into the pants or not) or a t-shirt, very versatile, but still with an elegant atmosphere. A relaxed elegance certainly, but an elegance nonetheless!
It is for this reason that the cut is without frills and without excessive volumes, but it outlines the silhouette.
And in line with our Bellagio suits , to have this very clean drape, we needed a fabric that gave structure, and we once again turned to the Italian supplier Estéthia…
A wool/hemp blend “tropical rustic fabric” from Estéthia
To be clear: I love this fabric, with its nervous and structured hand , which is a bit of Estéthia's signature.
They called it “Tropical Rustic Fabric”, because it is a fabric with an airy weave, which promises very good breathability, and also with heather , like some vintage fabrics.
It is a fabric with the following composition:
- 70% wool,
- 30% hemp,
It is this mixture which gives this mottled effect that I really like because I find that these irregularities give life to a fabric.
The other advantage? Even though there is 30% hemp, it is a fabric that wrinkles very little and maintains its hold throughout the day.
In terms of thickness, we are at 294g/m2, which is a fabric weight for a “4-season” jacket , and therefore perfect for a mid-season jacket.
Is it a jacket or an overshirt?
Both my captain!
And that’s what makes this piece magical: it offers endless possibilities.
Its cut allows it to wear a sweater underneath, but it can obviously be worn with a simple shirt indoors, as any blazer would. This is why I am sure that this piece will accompany you all year round , as a little outerwear or overshirt/jacket to wear under a coat.
On a t-shirt or shirt: no problem! Left: Oregon t-shirt , Stintino pants . Right: upcoming shirt and Otranto pants
And what about the pockets?
You know that the question of pockets is very important to me , because I like functional clothing. And when the temperatures rise, I like to have something to wear over a shirt with several pockets.
This jacket therefore has 4…
There are two exterior buttoned pockets, with a slanted shape, for:
- add a little “dynamic” to the design,
- and make a (discreet) nod to my taste in military clothing.
And inside, there are two internal buttoned pockets , perfect for securing your belongings.

Our Otranto suit (and our Otra shorts)
Presented by David
Soft tailoring has struck again. And how !
To complete our costume offering made up of Toso and Bellagio , we wanted to play . Play by freeing yourself and subverting the traditional codes of tailoring art. Play by bringing maximum flexibility and relaxation to the very classic double-breasted suit.
Here is the Otranto suit, with its unique jacket and associated pants.
This costume has the super power of attracting cute dogs to you.
A fully unstructured double-breasted jacket, for unparalleled comfort
This is a first for us.
We appreciate
Peanuts as the English would say. Nada as the Puerto Ricans would say.
This jacket is therefore completely flexible. It is constructed like a shirt or overshirt. It sits supple and fluid on your shoulders.
Less structure, more style. Lavender Bréhat shirt
The advantages of an unstructured jacket are multiple:
- More lightness, because elements of the jacket are removed. Practical when it's hot
- More comfort , because the jacket is more flexible
- More nonchalance because the jacket falls more naturally on you
In addition to my involvement in the Union of Partisans of the Straight Cut, I am also a fervent defender of the unstructured jacket. I really wear them all the time: they dress up my outfits while being much more comfortable than classic blazers.
And to contrast with this rounded construction, to change the straight jackets that we traditionally see, we chose to make a double-breasted jacket , with 4 buttons, 2 of which are functional: a 4x2 therefore, for the purists.
If you found the double-breasted jacket too formal, here is your ticket to get into it in a more relaxed, easier way.
Wear this open jacket with shorts, sandals and a textured shirt or even a simple t-shirt. Ecru Bréhat shirt
Even with its soft construction, its double-breasted buttoning brings that little extra daring and panache to your outfits. This shape also allows you to have a 12cm widened lapel which gives you great presence.
A generous setback. White Calvi shirt
When you open the jacket, you will not see any lining at the back, for even greater lightness. But rest assured, there is something inside: two zipped pockets in which you can securely store your keys, your card holder or your phone. This way you can do without your tote bag for your summer picnics.
A warm, texture-rich Italian seersucker
You recognized this wavy texture: seersucker.
This fabric of Indian origin is recognizable by its embossed texture which spreads the material away from the skin, allowing air to circulate more easily. This raised appearance is obtained by weaving a tight weft thread and a looser warp thread.
We love seersucker for its thermal properties but also for its three-dimensional texture which gives it a very particular visual character.
This fabric comes from the Italian Subalpino , from whom we also sourced the Apricale jacket .
A family business established in the Bielle region for around fifty years, Subalpino specializes in fancy and textured yarns .
Its expertise is reflected in this soft, light and breathable 180g/m2 cotton fabric, which features:
- Irregular undulations which despite everything form a sort of striped pattern that we see without completely realizing it, like a pattern melted into the material
- A deep color with brown and khaki highlights that stands out, flatters the retina and enhances your outfits
- A small percentage of elastane (3%) which, coupled with the unstructured construction and the absence of lining, provide you with total comfort.
An irregular seersucker but with a striped appearance.
Breathable and comfortable pants
The Otranto jacket is therefore completed with pants in the same fabric, with:
- A slightly raised waist that sits comfortably above your hips and energizes your silhouette
- A straight cut (21.8cm in size 48) and unlined at the legs for increased comfort and breathability
- A clip on each leg that adds just the right amount of elegance
The result: an elegant, structured and comfortable leg line.
I particularly like this type of pants cut. Enzo Belt
We can also note that the pants are not lined at the leg level , for greater lightness and breathability. The comfortable volume allows you to do without it.
In a suit or worn alone, these pants will easily go with your spring-summer outfits. And thanks to the stretch of the material, you are completely free to move.
Very easy to mismatch pants! Shirt coming in May ;)
Surprise: say hello to the short suit!
And for even more lightness, in addition to pants, we said to ourselves that this material lends itself well to shorts , here they are.
It has the same characteristics as the Otranto pants : slightly high waist, straight cut that lets your thighs breathe, a pleat at the leg.
And since it is shorter than the pants, its name is too: Otra.
Wear it alone with your favorite summer outfits or, more daringly, combine it with the jacket for a cool short suit , in a silhouette that stands out from what we're used to seeing.
May nonchalance be with you.
It's time for the suit and shorts! And I must admit that I really like it.

Our Bundi set
Presented by Benoît
Sometimes the idea for a piece comes from coming across a fabric that appeals to us . We see a texture, a touch, and we instantly imagine one or more pieces that go with it.
This is what happened with this Italian fabric , with an irregular and very “raised” texture like I have rarely seen.
As soon as I saw this fabric, I wanted to explore this balance between this fabric with a very pronounced grain and sober designs, with a touch of elegance.
Before seeing the jacket and shorts, a few words about the fabric…
A fabric woven in Italy by Bel&Co
To achieve such an irregularity, no less than 4 different threads are needed in the fabric , with varying thicknesses. If you look at this fabric close-up, you will see that each square centimeter is different : Bel&co has demonstrated all its know-how to obtain this surface.
Of the 4 threads, there is one which contains a little nylon in order to have a very marked “curly” effect, this is what gives this very particular relief.
The composition is therefore cotton (94%) and polyamide (6%) .
It weighs 346g/m2, perfect for a mid-season jacket.
A workwear jacket with a hint of elegance
With the thickness of this fabric, it was clear that we had to make a jacket out of it, but I wanted to contrast the texture of the fabric with a touch of elegance. This is why we chose a “camp collar” type collar (also called a bowling collar), the advantage of which is to nicely accommodate any shirt collar that you are going to wear underneath.
We're halfway between the blazer and the workwear jacket , so it's up to you to have fun!
In terms of pockets, there are two exterior pockets and two interior pockets.
Relaxed shorts
And we loved this fabric so much that we thought it would be perfect for shorts , the rustic look of the fabric is perfectly suited to a summer atmosphere, like a t-shirt worn with a necklace, or a beautiful cotton-linen shirt with rolled up sleeves.
It comes with a drawstring and a straight cut for relaxation and comfort.

Our Bergamo verdigris set
Presented by David
You appreciated our Bergame flannel set released last year, so we decided to do it again and offer it to you in a fabric suitable for sunny days.
A casual ensemble with a touch of elegance. Yellow Oregon t-shirt
A little reminder about the whole of Bergamo
For those who missed the previous episode, the Bergamo is a set made up of a workwear-style jacket and straight pants with pleats.
We really designed it to be as easy to wear together or as a pair , in a style register between casual, lightly dressed and workwear.
The jacket is straight and slightly short for a dynamic silhouette that offers a nice balance between the bust and the legs.
A typical workwear jacket, it has three patch pockets on the outside that have been designed for your comfort: the two lower pockets are slanted, allowing you to easily slip your hands in.
This attention to pockets is also reflected inside with two large zipped pockets in which you can store all your small belongings.
The pants are a little more chic with their double pleats, their cuffed bottom, their slightly raised waist and their straight cut (20.9cm leg opening in size 48). It will add just the right amount of elegance to your spring and summer outfits.
A light and textured Italian fabric
Obviously, no wool flannel this time, but rather a 58% linen and 42% cotton fabric found at Emmetex , an Italian weaver with almost 50 years of experience.
Where linen brings great freshness and a rich visual texture thanks to the natural impurities of its fibers which emerge during weaving, cotton brings stability and hold to the whole.
Thus, you will find on the surface of the fabric slight horizontal streaks but also small irregularly arranged “neps” which stand out and add character to these two pieces.
The color sparked debate in the office. This set is green, certainly. But not like traditional olive or khaki greens. It has a lighter, more faded appearance, and tends towards gray.
After an intense debate during a lunch break, we decided: it will be verdigris.
This color is obtained by the piece-dyeing technique: the garment is first made with an ecru thread and then is then dyed by being dipped in dye. This process makes it possible to produce very precise colors, notably soft and slightly patinated like here, particularly suitable for summer.
