Even classic styles, which should be unrelated to trends, are said to be booming these days. However Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , aims to provide a men's wardrobe of essential value that will be relevant in any era. This may be the complete opposite of the thinking of major fashion houses that create the latest trends every season. What kind of clothing has lasting value, not just a passing fad? What they arrived at was a sartorially tailored navy blazer.

One of them is SARTORIA CIARDI, one of the four major tailors in Naples. The workshop is currently run by brothers Vincenzo and Roberto. When I ordered a navy blazer from them, a magnificent six-button double-breasted blazer with a change pocket was completed. The fabric is a deep midnight navy, a mohair blend fabric called Dormeuil's "Super Brio."

If you ask about tailors in Florence, Liverano & Liverano is always mentioned. If you order a navy blazer from this shop, it will be tailored to your specifications, featuring a pattern without front darts and a unique shape with rounded shoulders. The fabric is Dormeuil's "Tonic," made with 4-ply yarn. Antonio, the owner, who was called a maestro, also gives it his seal of approval, saying it "can be worn for 10 years." The low gorge position gives it an exquisite balance that is not affected by trends, and it is a style that has been passed down for generations. A connoisseur will recognize the work of a master craftsman at a glance.

Both Cialdini and Liverano are unaffected by trends and fads, yet there's not a trace of old-fashionedness in their designs. The navy blazer, a true masterpiece for men, reflects nothing but the pride and dignity of a master tailor.
