What is LARDINI?
Lardini is a brand that originated from a factory established in Ancona, Italy in 1978. Originally a factory that handled products for famous maison brands, the company took advantage of its advanced sewing technology to develop its own original brand under its own name in 1993. Today, the company has grown into one of the largest factory brands in Italy, with a daily workforce of 400 people engaged in manual production.
The reason why Lardini jackets are loved by men is because of their “quirkiness” and “sense of balance” in a good sense
Lardini is a highly popular brand not only in Italy but also in Japan. Why does the brand continue to attract so much support from men, when there are so many choices, old and new, even if we focus only on Italian brands? One of the reasons is that Lardini jackets are “less peculiar” in a good sense compared to tailored jackets of other Italian brands. Jackets that are strongly conscious of trends and tastes may not be suitable for all occasions, but Lardini’s jackets are exquisitely balanced, incorporating trends without being obnoxious, and are therefore easily liked in both business and off-duty situations. In addition to the design aspect, the brand’s strong commitment to craftsmanship, which is typical of a brand that originated in a factory, includes beautifully rounded sleeves and a soft, lightweight fit with few secondary materials. The reason why many people love this brand is because of its exquisite balance of “basic” Italian tailor-like production with the essence of the times in just the right amount.

The standard model of Lardini jackets is the “526”!
Lardini has released many models, but the most orthodox is the “526,” a three-button, single-button, stepped back suit with patch pockets. It is softly tailored with minimal padding and interlining, yet has a structured design that naturally conforms to the wearer’s body shape. Incidentally, the “560,” “822,” and “823” are also highly popular with the same design, although they have different model numbers. If you are interested in purchasing one, you should check the model number as well.

What is the meaning behind the “floral boutonniere” that symbolizes Lardini?
The floral boutonniere on the lapel of the jacket is one of Lardini’s signature symbols, inspired by the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave) pins of the 1970s, and is said to express both masculine hedonism and modern romanticism. Various types of materials for these boutonnieres exist, including felt, white butterfly shells, and wood. Since it is a trademark detail that everyone knows, for better or worse, many men “dare to remove it” so as not to look like they are trying to show off. Since it is easy to put on and take off, it is a standard practice to do so when the time and place are right. The boutonniere is sold separately, so there is no need to worry if you happen to lose it.
