![]() ![]() The shoulders have nice spalla camicia (not sure if my phrasing here makes sense) and the lapels are wide and expressive. The chest and shoulders are on the fuller side which I think is flattering, especially on my stockier build. The thing that sets this jacket apart from other more casual tailoring options is the cut. It is a Neapolitan jacket without too much structure, though, so you certainly can wear it more casually. ![]() It is something that makes you feel good and dressed up. It is something you want to wear with a tie to a nice party. Both can look good, but my Natalino jacket falls definitively into the latter category. There is tailoring that is more low key and casual (imagine what a slovenly professor might wear) and then there is tailoring that feels like tailoring. It has a place in my wardrobe alongside my much more expensive jackets. I am happy to say, though, that I really like my Natalino jacket. My other sport coats are from Orazio Luciano and Ring Jacket for the Armoury-brands that are 2-4 times as expensive as the jackets from Natalino-so I didn't really know what to expect from a jacket at this price point. This season was their first time doing sport jackets, and I think they did a really nice job here too. I don't just reserve them for more special occasions. Also, because of the price, I can comfortably fill out my wardrobe with their pants. I have pants that are twice as expensive as Natalino's, but I like the Natalino's more. You don't normally get such a nice fabric selection at this price point. covert twill, and I have been pleased with all of them. At the same time, though, they aren't so wide that they look grandfatherly. I think Natalino's pants are wide enough that they do this. You want the jacket to flow into the trousers. When you wear pants that are too slim, that silhouette will cut in abruptly at the bottom of your jacket. Many pants that are too slim don't pair so well with sport coats. ![]() I like Natalino's trousers both for more casual ensembles and for more tailored ones. Their pants are plenty roomy up top and the hems are both wide enough that they (1) don't catch on my calves and (2) pair well with chunkier shoes, and also narrow enough that they go well with sleeker shoes. Others that do fit well often have very large hems that not only look a little less contemporary (something I am personally fine with) but also look mismatched with anything sleeker than a pair of Aldens. I have larger thighs and many pants out there simply don't fit me very well. Natalino, though, puts a little more thought into their designs and I appreciate this. There are plenty brands, especially when it comes to sweaters, that just order what the manufacturer normally makes. The ribbing at the bottom of the sweater is also a bit taller than you normally see and the body of the sweater is a couple inches shorter than you normally see, which is nice if you are wearing higher rise trousers. They also say it makes the neck area stronger. So, when you are sick and tired of all the mud during autumn then comfort yourself with the fact that you can get your horse clean faster with the help of a blanket.Notice how the ribbing around the neck is a bit different than you normally see. We have definitely been looking forward to this. Photo: Shutterstock Blanket timeĮven though autumn is the beginning of a more troublesome blanket period, we must also reckon how incredible it is to take your horse inside from the field, take off the blanket and to have an all-clean horse. Remember to appreciate the season now because soon it will be remarkably colder and you have to get all bundled up when you go to the stables. This also means that you can look forward to less sweaty gloves or riding helmets. Lower temperaturesĪutumn means lower and more comfortable riding temperatures. The best thing is also that we do not have to spend a lot of time trying to dry the horse and handle all the shedding. The muscles of the horse appear elegant under all the equipment, and the horse avoids being covered in sweat after a riding session. Nothing beats the feeling and sight of a newly trimmed horse. ![]()
