Zegna As A Gateway Drug.
I will always have a special bond with Ermenegildo Zegna. Many years ago when I started to get more interested in classical menswear, Zegna was a gateway drug. Their stuff was such a huge upgrade in quality compared with the brands I was used to. Nowadays I rarely buy their stuff, mainly because there are so many options. But every now and then I return. Here is a great jacket (note the subtle blue overcheck) and tie from Zegna.
Jacket and tie from Zegna, shirt from Drake’s, noname ps, pants from Manolo/Ströms, John Lobb shoes, Begg & Co scarf and a coat from De Petrillo. Scent: Frédéric Malle Bois d’orage (French Lover).
