Milan - A Fashion Statement

When one hears the word Milan, you immediately think of a beautiful Italian city in Northern Italy. Located in the plains of Lombardy, it has a population of slightly over a million and close to 4 million as you expand into the surrounding metropolitan areas. It is the most populated and developed region in Italy.

It is here that Leonardo da Vinci painted "The Last Supper" and Verdi and Puccini composed music and it is here that we find one of the most stylish cities on the planet. Known as the world's design capital, Milan rivals Paris as a leading fashion centre. It is here that SCOTTEVEST was inspired to create a true fashion statement that is their finest jacket ever.

I love leather! It has a full richness to it better than any other product and of all items that you can own in leather; a jacket is the most versatile and classic. The look, the feel, and its durability make it a possession that you keep for years and years.

Now Milan is all about worldly pleasures. When you envision a trip to this beautiful city, you think about Piazza Duomo, the heart of Milan. It is here that you see the architecture of past centuries and the seamless blending into the neon lights of a modern city. SCOTTEVEST saw this seamless blending too! The mixture of fine Milanese fashion with the versatility of their famous product line has brought to us a permanent item in our wardrobe that will be stylish for years to come.

SCOTTEVEST spent two years designing this incredibly super-soft, ultra-luxurious jacket. The goal: Create the best of the best! Create a fashion statement! Create a jacket that not only has it all but will become a permanent item in your wardrobe for years to come….and they did that!

It was about a year ago that Scott Jordan shared with me his vision of combining fashion with function. I saw this jacket evolve through a variety of stages until it finally reached his goal. I’ll never forget the excitement I heard on the phone when I got a call saying: It’s done! It’s trendy, it‘s professional, it’s perfect for home or travel! I have a classic!

And a classic it is! When I finally received my jacket, I was in awe as I took it from its protective bag. I was immediately struck by its absolute stunning color: a rich chocolate brown. It was almost indescribable because it exuded a richness that I have not experienced with any other leather product I have had.

As I held it up, the feel of the leather was soft, a characteristic of a high quality leather. Most people will run their hand across a leather garment to see how it feels. The way leather feels is called its hand and the hand on this jacket is exquisite. A soft hand and a tight pebble grain combined with internal stitching gives this jacket a rich, clean, classic look.
