IT conjures up a smarter side of casual clothing, a wiser head wearing the look, almost jazz like in some of it’s cuts, and definitely hankering to the classic Mod look, but whatever images or feel, Gabicci holds its own.
The arrival of the 1973 range ticks all the above boxes, and nice little touches, which had remained a distant memory such as the added lines or button down pockets are a joy to behold.
The Summerbee white – colbalt shirt highlights this, sublime light blue piping and just the thinnest of outlines around the breast pocket are enough to show its class, with the classic G logo, which falls somewhere between a lightning flash and a question mark.
The use of suede is synonymous with this Italian brand and checking out the Panel Front Tan zip top brings s sigh in anyone, it is timeless and smacks of cool evenings out and great memories.
The whole range looks sublime and worth buying, but it is the combination of looks that Gabicci offer, which makes it so appealing, the v-neck jumpers or cardigans with their multi-panel colouring, just seems to have it, and the current trend for the trilby hat, means they work perfectly with modern looks, despite not changing their designs since conception in 1973.
That in itself is something to marvel at.
For me, I will be checking out the fantastic ski style v-necks three stripe jumpers.
But then again how can anyone not be drawn to the Alessandro or Leonardo ranges, with that oh so nice suede pocket.
