Super Leggera Winter
Leggera, the Italian word for light, in conjunction
with the word “Super” was used as a prefix for certain lightweight sports cars
in the 1960s, which promised great road holding and handling due to the lack of
mass. The “SL” acronym was also unfortunately adopted by bloated Mercedes
convertibles.
Our lightweight winter suit is the former, made of
270gram soft flannel woven in Biella Italy, it weighs no more than almost all
the travel suits from Italy. It may appear substantial and solid, but is light
and fluid, prefect for the climate controlled offices of today.
We have paired this suit with one of our Italian
knitted silk ties for a slightly more relaxed look, we hope you like the
contrast.

Escorial
The name of
the monastery and palace in Spain, is also the name of the wool or more
correctly noble fibre of this magnificent suit. The original flock of sheep
originated in the high Atlas mountains of North Africa, from the fierce Beni
Merines tribe. In 700AD the first Berber invasion of Spain occurred and reached
Madrd in 1283.
When the
Berbers were finally defeated in the battle of the Salado in 1340, their pure
Mahgreb flocks fell in to the hands of the Spanish royalty, who took them to
the Christian monastery of El Escorial. A pure flock made its way to a farm in
Tasmania in 1820, where the pure bloodline has remained till this day.
Escorial
wool is exceptionally fine, soft, and rich, and displays a luxury far beyond
its Super 160s definition. Not your average suit.
