Effortless Cool $8,400 BRUNELLO CUCINELLI Suede Leather Biker Jacket, Signature Colorway – Tom Ford, Purple Label Aesthetic

Cucinelli is renowned for their quality, which is reflected in the insane prices at the top of the industry. The detail and quality on this everywhere you look are elite. It can give you pause when these all retail around $8,400 w/tax, however, seeing what goes into crafting these masterpieces (Google “Meet the Makers, Brunello Cucinelli” by MRPORTER – see reference photos) you’ll understand.

These minimalist perfecto biker jackets are one of the coolest, most time-tested looks out there – worn by a “who’s who” of A-List style icons regularly featured in GQ, Esquire, MR PORTER and similar. I’m shocked more guys don’t have them in their arsenal. Every time I wear them I receive compliments, especially from women! Finding and investing in the right designer Cucinelli makes all the difference.

This light taupe is one of Cucinelli’s signature colorways and a perfect color to offset everything in your wardrobe. You can go tonal with light colors as Tom Ford, Cucinelli and Eleventy like to do, or even better in my opinion, go for contrast with navy, blacks and browns. The relaxed fit (very on trend now) and light weight allows for a nice drape and ease of movement. This edition is rendered in a beautiful suede that is perforated (a secret of the Italians to allow airflow to keep you cool in warmer temps).

I’ve acquired a number of Cucinelli pieces, all of which maintained this elite level of construction. His catalogs are works of art, and everything he does is summed up in this quote below...
