Italy’s recommended jacket brands (4) CIRCOLO1901

Functional items are a major trend in business wear these days. Jackets and suits with stretchability using soft materials such as jersey and sweatshirt are one of these elements, and CIRCOLO1901 is an unmistakable presence when talking about items made of such soft materials. When CIRCOLO1901 first proposed this tailored jacket made of sweatshirt material, it had a huge impact on the industry. The use of this material alone gives off a unique presence, but what is even more noteworthy is the printing technology. The elaborate prints, which look as if they were created by weaving, boast a level of perfection unrivaled by any other brand.

Gerald D’Argenio is the owner of CIRCOLO1901. The sweatshirt items that have now become the face of the brand came about as a result of an amusing suggestion he made at S.G.L., a textile manufacturer where Gerald had worked for 20 years. The checkered jacket he is wearing in the snapshot below is, of course, a pattern printed on sweatshirt material.
