Givocci | Salt Lake City, Utah | City Creek Center

Earlier this year BJ and Brandon, our buyers, traveled to Italy to meet with several of our current brands and other new brands to continue bring you all of the newest styles and the best quality products possible. They also visited the factories of several of our top Italian suit brands they visited Kiton, Brioni and others.

Italian Suits | Salt Lake City, Utah | City Creek Center Mall

In 1952 after the first fashion show held at Palazzo Pitti in Florence there were many names believed to have had a significant role in the design of the Italian suit, as we know it today. Some remarkable mentions are Ermenegildo Zegna, Nazareno Fonticoli (founder of Brioni) and Armani.

Regardless of the particular tailor or designer, there’s a common element that led to the Italian suit, Italians. Italians were not comfortable in the stiff and structured British cut. A suit that is too heavy to be worn comfortably in warmer weather. The concern was more with looking “clean.” Fits that are exacting and slim.This means no wrinkles or excess fabric.

There are several details that set an Italian suit apart. The one that really sets it apart is the weight or “lightness”. The garment, in fact, looks light, feels light, and wears light. It fits tight and close to the body. The canvas lining is also very light. The jacket is considerably less structured compared to American and British suit stylings, and as a result the cloth follows the wearers natural curves. The front of the jacket shows a pronounced V-shape, tight at the waist.

The sleek silhouette set by the jacket is a constant also in the pants, thus giving a smooth look from head to toes. The pants with a tapered waist, which fit tight to the hips. In the most traditional design, pants would end with a break. Nowadays, no-break type of pants is also common in Italian style.

When it comes to the Italian suit the concern is more about individual style and relaxing on the idea of correctness. To stand out is the whole point!

At UWM Mens Shop we are excited to have Italian suits from Givocci, Kiton, Isaia, Brioni, Ermenegildo Zegna and Canali.  

Bespoke Suits | Salt Lake City, Utah | City Creek Mall

Custom suits are a great avenue when you need something truly special and unique. Sometimes special occasions require exceptionally special clothes! The style of a one-of-a-kind suit really helps you stand out.

There are a few problems with shopping “off the rack”: you may not fit into the garment(s) exactly how you expect, you may not like the material or color the clothes are made of, or there may even be a defect in the clothing you’re looking at. We here at UWM Men’s Shop recognize these potential issues and offer our customers another option - custom suits. Our custom suits, produced mainly in Canada and Italy, are the best in the world.

The tailoring of a suit is just as important as the material it is made of. High quality tailoring and construction yields a high quality suit - the same goes for the material composition of the suit. Luckily, we have some of the best tailoring and manufacturing staff in the world. We take high quality textiles and let our master tailor(s) work their magic! Conveniently, you - the customer - are involved in every step of the process when putting together your custom suit. First, you and one of our made to measure specialists will look at swatches to pick your ideal fabric (we have plenty of swatches varying in material and price). Then, we take your measurements for the suit to fit just how you like it to. We then fill out an order slip, send it into our manufacturers, and wait roughly six weeks for your suit to arrive!

Our custom suits range from approximately $2,000 on up. The price is largely determined on the fabric you choose and the features on the suit. Check out all the options on your next visit into the store!

Custom Suits by Utah Woolen Mills

The thought of a custom suit is impossible to ignore for a true suit connoisseur.  There is something about having a suit specifically made just for you that feels so right - something that is uniquely yours, made only for you.

At UWM our most popular custom suits are our own private label Richards Street (hand made in Montreal, Canada). Right in the center of all our in-stock, ready-to-wear suits, we have a table dedicated specifically for this line of custom suits. We constantly get in new fabric swatches and keep our list updated and accurate - even throughout a season, to insure you have all the options you could possibly want. You will never have to worry about not finding a fabric that fits you and your style. We will even keep your measurements on file for the next round. This way when you absolutely love your suit and want another the process is quick and simple. Lead time on our custom suits is between 4-6 weeks.

We also have the availability to do custom suiting from Kiton,  Isaia, Brioni, Ermenegildo Zegna and Canali.

Our Custom suits start at $1795 

Richards Street has profound importance for our store. Our original address was 28 Richards Street. We have chosen very special mills to produce our suits. They have a full canvas construction that enables the suit to drape to your own body and aides in providing you with a nice tailored look. Anyone who owns one of these suits understands why we have chosen to back this suit with such a significant name to our store.

Eleventy | Salt Lake City, Utah | City Creek Mall

Eleventy, a “first class” Italian brand, was founded in 2007 by Marco Baldassari and Paolo Zuntini. Their immediate growth and success lead to the attraction of investors and, eventually, the spread of the company worldwide. In 2016, Eleventy expanded into the United States with Eleventy USA and placed their headquarters in New York.

Marco and Paolo are truly a dynamic duo for Eleventy. Marco is the creative director for menswear while Paolo is the equivalent for womenswear. “It was their idea of responsible Made in Italy fashion, pivoting on ceaseless research into the textiles and the quest for a style that could meet contemporary demands, that gave rise to Eleventy.”

The saying “Made in Italy” carries significant weight nowadays - it signifies quality, craftsmanship, and true attention to detail in every step of the production process. Eleventy feels they carry a responsibility to protect and continue Italy’s unique and prestigious manufacturing heritage. This is why they have “a network made up of 94 micro enterprises selected in every region of Italy, each specialised in a particular sector of production. Through this strategy of outsourcing Italian craftsmanship we can offer our customers all the quality and excellence of Made in Italy.”

Eleventy is an advocate of sustainable and ethical clothing (and its production). They do whatever they can to reduce the global carbon footprint on the atmosphere - “climate change is a global issue that demands global solutions”. They have launched all-round research to reduce their consumption and emissions and will continue pushing until they have reached the decisive “zero impact” level.

Eleventy is now involved with a retail development plan, now consisting of a network of 19 single brand boutiques and over 500 multi-brand outlets throughout the world. With the entry of partners and investors, the company has also implemented a program of alliances to accelerate the internationalisation process.

Men's Bracelets | Salt Lake City, Utah | City Creek Center Mall

Fashion is a fluid and ever-changing concept; a spectrum with endless possibilities of dress and accessory combinations. Today, maybe more than ever, we are seeing these accessories paired with daring colors on contemporary clothing cuts. These components lead to a truly modern outfit - sophisticated, precise, eye-catching, and overall well put together. Bracelets and cufflinks are great accessories that can go along with nearly any outfit. With many different styles and colors available, there is surely an accessory to go well with the rest of your outfit.

Tateossian is a wonderful company out of England producing designer luxury jewellery for men and women. In store we carry their bracelets, but they also create top of the line cufflinks, tie clips, pins, and various other accessories. Nowadays, with style and fashion evolving so quickly, bracelets can act similarly to watches. A bracelet works as a nice and relatively simple piece to accent or compliment your composed outfit. In fact, you’ll see many of us employees proudly wearing these bracelets to enhance our attire!

Another great accessory are cufflinks. Similar to the bracelets, Tateossian produces top of the line cufflinks as well. Cufflinks were originally created to literally link the cuffs of your shirt. However, they have now evolved into an opportunity to personalize your outfit and add some flair. Here at UWM Men’s Shop, we carry quite a variety of cufflinks - from more “flashy” ones (like skulls or small flash drives) to traditional silver pieces. There is almost definitely a cufflink here that will catch your eye and can enhance your outfit.

Overall, accessories are meant to build upon and enhance an outfit. Whether you’re dressed formally and conservatively for an event, or more casually and loosely, there are accessories that can add that finishing touch that distinguishes you from the rest.

Kiton Jeans | AG Jeans | Salt Lake City, Utah

We here at UWM Men’s Shop specialize in fine clothing: suits, sport coats, slacks, ties, shoes, shirts, etc. However, we have recently aimed to expand our inventory to include most everything you will need in your closet! Now, along with our formal wear, we carry activewear and casual clothing. Jeans, shorts, casual shirts, and other casual accessories are all now in store. Come on in to explore our casual side!

A focal point of anyone’s closet is the jean. This is why we are proud to carry AG Jeans, a wonderful company co-founded by Adriano Goldschmied (hence, AG) and Yul Ku, a “pioneer in the denim industry.” Adriano is a successful Italian fashion designer who focuses on jeans and denim. In fact, he is considered to be the “Godfather of Denim”. AG Jeans produces 35 different cuts, so there is certainly a cut that will fit you well. “From the initial stages of concept and design, to cutting, sewing, laundering, finishing and shipping, AG’s vertically integrated manufacturing facilities unite our design expertise with manufacturing ingenuity—truly unparalleled in the fashion industry.”

Kiton is known for being a top dog in the men’s fine clothing industry. They produce handmade garments with the finest of materials, crafted with masterful precision and expertise. They produce their jeans with the same standards as their suits - nothing but the best will do. The company embarked on a search around the world for the highest quality, handcrafted denim. This search lead them to a fabric called “Kurabo Denim”, and this is where they started. They then fulfilled their vision of a unique product, packed full with details and artisan touches. We are thrilled to carry the Rolls-Royce of jeans, the “Perfect Jean”, by Kiton. “In the expert and meticulous hands of our tailors, top-quality Japanese denim is transformed into jeans that are perfect in every thread; a masterpiece of sophistication and discerning style.”

Scarpe Di Bianco | UWM MEN'S SHOP | Salt Lake City, Utah

Scarpe di Bianco is a world class shoe company. Scarpe means shoes in Italian and Bianco is the founder’s family name. The company oozes passion for shoes, emphasizing a modern twist on classic shoes. Quality is of utmost priority as the company searches for the most supple calf skins, eventually taking them through the construction process to create a durable and beautiful shoe. “The combination of timeless models with contemporary colors, and updated styling with traditional details, leads to decidedly current yet elegant models.”

Scarpe di Bianco is a company composed of true artisans. Each pair of shoes is completely handmade with meticulous precision, taking much time to produce. Their production of each shoe is acutely artisanal in nature, witnessed by the fact that no more than 25 pairs are produced per day. From the burnishings of the leather to the final hand-sewn stitches, Scarpe di Bianco is nothing but authenticity.

“Di Bianco™ only uses True Grain leather which is the highest grade of leather that requires no alterations. Our skins come from France and are chosen from the highest quality lots. The skins are tanned using the chrome tanning technique which results in softer and more supple leather that is very stable and more durable than vegetable tanned leather.”

The finishing and burnishing of Di Bianco shoes are (arguably) what makes them so distinguishable. The company uses only the finest of colorants and polishes to finish their shoes. The burnishing of Di Bianco shoes is long and intensive, often requiring numerous different polishes and colorants to attain the final desired color. They even hand polish black calfskin. In fact, many colors offered are “Based on Black”, meaning that the shoe started as black calfskin, then underwent multiple treatments with different colorants and dyes to attain the final, finished product.

On Running Shoes | Salt Lake City, Utah | City Creek Mall

On Running, a Swiss running and athletic wear brand, is one of the fastest growing brands in the running market. Founded in 2010 in Zurich, Switzerland by Olivier Bernhard, Caspar Coppetti, and David Allemann, On Running seeks one thing: the creation of a shoe that allows for an ideal running “sensation”. Olivier, a former three times World Duathlon Champion and multiple Ironman winner, takes his expertise and experience and implements them into a shoe. This knowledge led to “cupboardfuls of prototypes” and lots of trial and error. But the basic concept – cushioned landing, firm take off – remained paramount throughout.

On Running has surrounded itself and its development of shoes with a couple core beliefs. The first belief relates to the construction of the shoe and how your foot moves. With their patented CloudTec cushioning, your foot is freed and is allowed the flexibility to move in the way you’re naturally meant to. Another belief focuses on the sole of the shoe - On shoes do not passively control your running motion with a rigid sole. Instead, a whole team of Cloud elements at the sole of the On shoe actively reacts to your individual running motion. They can act in unison or individually cushion your landing – however you need it.

On Running may not be a men’s “fine clothing” brand like others we carry here at UWM Men’s Shop, but that is not to say their shoes cannot be dressed up! On nearly any day, you can walk into our store and see one of our employees wearing a pair of On Running shoes. Whether it be with blue jeans and a nice sport coat, or a full suit, these shoes can certainly be styled up. A pair of these shoes could be your most durable, comfortable and worry free dress shoes you have ever known.

John Lobb | Salt Lake City, UT | City Creek Center Mall

John Lobb has been producing luxury and formal footwear for men and women for over 150 years. Started in 1866 by John Lobb himself, the company started as a small footwear production service for royalty. Their success producing shoes and boots was so great that the company decided to open up another store in Paris. The company produces a classic, sturdy, and durable shoe with an English look.

John Lobb’s “Bespoke” program is a staple in the company. This Bespoke service arranges a client with an artisan to produce something customized and specific to the client. As they say on the John Lobb website, “at the heart of the Bespoke service is the relationship between the client and the John Lobb artisans who serve at every stage to fulfil making their wishes become a reality.” They focus on the interpersonal relationship between the customer and artisans. The constant communication between the two coupled with the artisan’s attention to detail ensures a shoe production process that yields an ideal and precise result.

There are several appointments involved in the John Lobb Bespoke process. At the first appointment, the artisan takes many detailed measurements of the client’s foot and starts to hand carve a model of the contour of their foot. This wooden model of the shoe then serves as the last to shape the leather to start the actual shoemaking process. “Whilst wearing the trial shoe, final measurements are taken and incisions made by the Master Last-maker to examine the shoe for even the slightest pressure points to the foot. This allows the artisan to further refine the precision of the clients last.”

A note of pride for John Lobb is their selection of leather from highly distinguished tanneries from around the world. “Long established relationships with distinguished tanneries across the world mean that the John Lobb Bespoke atelier has the pick of the finest leathers on offer, including prized rarities and exotic hides, allowing the client unparalleled choice and assured quality.”

Byron Sportcoats & Suits | Salt Lake City, Utah | City Creek Utah

Byron is the epitome of British style and clothing. As they say, “the British look is to be trim and fitted, but not tight and still very comfortable.” These complex ideas have been implemented and perfected by the British apparel industry through years of trial and error. Although this particular fit is especially popular today, they have always believed it to be the correct and only way to fit a suit.

Byron “scrutinizes” each and every detail of each garment to achieve the perfect fitting piece. From the fabric to each stitch, the entire process is monitored to be sure to stand up to the Bryon standard. Ultimately, each jacket is judged by its fit; the British look, the Byron fit.

They believe that the proper construction and fit starts in the shoulder of the jacket - the centerpiece of their collections. A shoulder with a natural slope is necessary. Byron’s suit jackets are constructed with a floating canvas chest piece on the lapel and body that slopes and molds to the body. This type of tailoring enables the wearer to “feel” the garment on him. Constructed in a specific manner, Byron creates this type of jacket that still allows freedom of motion and has a concise and compact presentation.

“An elegantly tailored garment is correct for all occasions.” Byron believes in dressing up their jackets, but they also think that their garments can be dressed down for more casual occasions as well. They suggest wearing their jackets with your favorite dark wash denim, with or without a tie. They believe that a Byron jacket is an expression of standards and personal style. “We obsess over the details of fit, and allow the gentleman to make the look his own.  The fit belongs to Byron. The rest is up to you.”

With Suits from $995 - $1195, Sportcoats from $695 - $995 and Tuxes at $995, there is a lot to love about this wonderful brand!

Small Business Week Feature

Recently, we were interviewed by the Salt Lake Chamber as part of their Small Business Week. 

Eton Shirts | Salt Lake City, Utah | City Creek Mall

Every day we have customers that come into our store looking for the “perfect” shirt. A breathable fabric in a well-fitting shirt construction are essentials to this perfection. Eton, a 90 year old Swedish brand, comes as close to this ideal shirt as possible. Another component to this perfect shirt is its longevity and durability. In store we have an Eton shirt washed over 100 times - and guess what? It is still in great shape. Machine wash on cold and hang to dry, taking care of your Eton could not be easier.

Founders David and Annie Pettersson started in 1928 in Gånghester, Sweden in their run-from-home dress sewing “factory”. As the couple gained local popularity, they expanded their production and began to manufacture men’s dress shirts. Eventually they launched the Syfabriken Special (Swedish for “The Special Sewing Factory”) and started larger production. The family business continued its growth and the founders sent their sons, Rune and Arne, on a worldwide excursion to find the highest quality fabrics. This search lead them to a town in England called Eton - “soon, the ‘The Eton Shirt’ is released. Syfabriken Special became so well-known for this shirt, the company adapts “Eton” as its new name in 1950. Now, Eton is a leader in shirt production and is showcased in top stores around the world.

Sustainability is important to Eton. “For us, high quality equals sustainability. We aim to produce long-lasting garments and to minimize negative environmental and social impact while doing so. We believe that the first step to a more sustainable clothing industry is to promote durable and timeless products.” This sustainability also transfers to how you care for your shirt; the better you take care of the nice garment, the longer it lasts, hence reducing the environmental impact of the garment itself.

Canali | Salt Lake City, Utah | City Creek Center

“A family-run company now in its third generation, Canali is a modern-day design and manufacturing group with its own production centers all located in Italy and more than 1,800 employees worldwide. In addition to its 250 boutiques a number that continues to grow, the brand can also be found in over 1,000 retail stores in more than 100 countries across the globe.”

Canali is a high quality men’s brand based out of Italy. Founded by Giacomo and Giovanni Canali in 1934, they started as a family business. The company has now grown into an international business with over 1,700 employees. At Canali, “80 years of Made in Italy” goes into everything they create.

Canali really emphasizes the “fluidity” of the process of creating a garment, whether it be trousers, a sport coat, or a full suit. On their website, they cover this in “Rewind”, a short film going over the process of creating each garment. “Rewind is a three-minute film about everything that is hidden, everything that comes before the simple act of putting on a jacket. This journey transpires in reverse, like a melodic dance, moving backwards from the final creation all the way to the initial idea. All this to convey that there is nothing simple about the process and that behind every single detail lie many individuals, hundreds of steps, care, attention, and also, love. Rewind tells a story of passion, creativity, commitment, teamwork. As with a film or with any finished work of art, it is impossible to imagine just how much time and effort is involved.

This film is dedicated to all of this work. An homage for all those who work behind the scenes of that world.”

Canali prides themselves in using premium fabric, the latest fashion trends, and sartorial excellence to create all of their products. The Canali tailoring principle aims to achieve aesthetic perfection; anything short is sent back to the drawing board for revision.

Tuxedos | Formal Wear | Dinner Jackets | Salt Lake City, Utah

Suits may be our specialty, but we here at UWM Men’s Shop also carry a broad selection of evening wear, navy tuxedos, dinner jackets, cufflinks, tuxedo shirts and accessories.

Suits are signature and essential pieces of dress clothing. Meant for any number of occasions, a suit (or a few!) is a good go-to option to have in your closet; they can easily be dressed up or down. However, there are instances where more formal attire is preferred - this is where tuxedos come into play. A tuxedo is a more formal type of suit with a few differences, the main being the introduction of another contrasting material: satin.

Traditionally, tuxedos typically include satin accents on the lapels and satin stripes down the sides of the trousers. The buttons are also covered in satin, unlike an uncovered button on a normal suit. The lapels (the collar of the tuxedo) come in three styles: a notch lapel, a peak lapel, or a shawl lapel. The notch and peak lapels have breaks in them very much like a standard suit lapel. The shawl lapel is different and is a smooth, single, unbroken piece of fabric. They are typically worn with a bow tie and a tuxedo shirt (sometimes pleated) with cufflinks.

Tuxedos are best worn in more formal occasions. Some of these occasions include an opera, a ballet, a symphony, a formal dance or ball, exceptionally formal restaurants (as some establishments recommend you dress at least as formal as the waiter), or a formal reception.

The “tux” may be for more formal events, but there is plenty of reason to buy instead of rent. Renting tuxedos results in an incorrect fit and an uncomfortable night. A comfortable fit results in a confident fit; a fit that renting does not achieve. And when you feel good in your clothes, you look good in them also.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us: taylor@utahwoolenmills.com and we will be happy to answer any formal questions you might have. Also, we carry Tuxedos from $995 - $3795.

Ermenegildo Zegna | Salt Lake City | Luxury Clothing Utah

Ermenegildo Zegna takes serious pride in the production and sourcing of its garments. “For all our expertise in weaving and finishing, without closely monitoring raw materials, the most sophisticated techniques are worth nothing. Provenance is all.” The sustainability and quality of the wool they source is imperative to the brand as a whole. The wool is the backbone of their suits and is the single largest factor of their high quality suit production. Around this time each year is when Ermenegildo Zegna is hosting the annual Ermenegildo Zegna Wool Awards. From March 16 - 19 is where farmers from all over New Zealand and Australia come to compete in Melbourne, Australia to win the coveted Wool Award.

The company was started in 1910 by Ermenegildo Zegna in the alpine foothills of Trivero, Italy with one goal in mind: to produce the highest quality fabrics. At 18 is when Ermenegildo started the Lanificio Zegna (their original wool mill) and laid down the foundations for the company. Ermenegildo Zegna had a grander vision for his self-named company too, and that was to transform the people of Trivero as well as the actual town.

“By 1932, Trivero already had a meeting hall, a library, a gym, a cinema/theatre and public swimming pool. In the space of a few years, he built a medical centre and a nursery school. In the meantime, he was dedicating himself to the local environment and landscape, planting thousands of trees and building the “Panoramica Zegna” road a 14 km route linking Trivero and Bielmonte, a tourist resort 1,500 meters above sea level.” Ermenegildo’s passion for quality and pursuit of excellence does not stop with their clothes.

Today, Ermenegildo Zegna is a fully vertical company, with direct ownership of every part of their production process. From the raw wool to the final Made to Measure process, Ermenegildo Zegna has a hand in each step.

Brioni | Salt Lake City, Utah | City Creek Mall

Brioni is proud to be a front-runner in Italian suit production. Started in 1945, Brioni opened its first boutique in Rome, Italy. Soon, it became the lifestyle of choice for movie stars, heads of state and business leaders. Brioni is the first brand in history to, in 1952, stage a men’s catwalk show which took place inside the Sala Bianca at Palazza Pitti in Florence. This show introduced “new silhouettes, bold colors, and innovative fabrics.”

Having suited movie stars like Will Smith, Tom Cruise, and the James Bond actors, Brioni has left its long-lasting mark in the film industry. Not only having suited movie stars, but other people of notable status like Al Gore, Michael Phelps, and Usain Bolt. It is truly suited to the elite class.

The Brioni suit represents the global reference for men’s tailoring. A Brioni suit is tailored to the individual, a timeless style deeply rooted in the Roman sartorial heritage. Embodying the highest level of the brand’s state of the art sartorial excellence, the Brioni suit is the choice of the world’s most influential men, a highly significant status symbol – elegant, sophisticated, and empowering. Between our ranges of seasonal and carryover suits, Brunico and Madison represent the two essential models of our craftsmanship and design.

Brioni’s Brunico is fit to a taller and more slim person, with tapered sleeves, a high waistline and a narrow and sloped construction of the shoulders. The Madison would be the suit of choice for those who tend to fill-out their clothing a bit more. It is constructed with a fitted silhouette in the waist and chest. A higher waistline and sleeve position contribute to a lean aesthetic.

Utah Woolen Mills is now UWM Men's Shop

Utah Woolen Mills has evolved over an exciting 113 years in the fine clothing business. A rich history of first being established as a mill in 1905 made our business a household name for the finest woolen goods in the region. Later our business advanced to offering retail in the mid-1900’s.

We are excited to now be known as UWM Men’s Shop. We look forward to continuing to provide the finest suits and menswear along with the best tailoring.

At the brink of the new season, many new items line our racks that will perfectly round out any man’s wardrobe.

Kiton | Salt Lake City, Utah | City Creek Mall

Kiton - “We Are Naples” - is the pinnacle of quality and Italian craftsmanship. Founded in 1956 by Ciro Paone in Naples, Italy, the company started as a small shop with 40 master tailors. Mr. Paone has turned his greatest passion into a vocation, elevating tailoring from a modest artisan craft to an artistic expression: the love for beauty, the love for beautiful garments. He modeled the entire Kiton tailoring project on the idea of quality from the start. Quality as the basis of the production process, carried out according to the age-old rule book of the Neapolitan tailoring profession which, nowadays, is reaffirmed in sourcing the best raw materials in the world and in the quality control of the finished garments.

Kiton’s obsession with the highest possible quality lead to great success and their expansion across Europe and, eventually, to the United States in 1986. The same passion for quality lead Kiton to open the Kiton Tailoring School in 2001 to preserve their tailoring practices and train the next generation of fine master tailors. From start to finish, quality is king for Kiton. “It is essential that each processing phase reflects the firm’s philosophy: quality in every detail for clothes which last a lifetime.”

With every piece being 100% handmade, Kiton’s garments provide a comfortable fit for any body shape. The jacket being the centerpiece of their collections, each one is tailored to the individual - this means the fabric is hand-cut, hand-stitched (over 33,000 stitches by 25 different tailors), and completely hand-crafted. Kiton’s passion for quality does not just end with the fabrics and construction; even the buttons are unique to Kiton. The buttons are made of shell, horn, and mother of pearl farmed specifically for the company. Tied on with silk, “if the button comes off, the fabric will too.”

Fall 2016 Sportcoats | Salt Lake City, Utah | City Creek Center

The classic man needs the classic jacket. The hybrid jacket, beyond unique it is a sport coat and we have ours that range our fabrics and and variations in them with Loro Piana fabrics. Making it a nice soft wool and we even have some with the cashmere touch to them as well. 

A nice night in the city dining out with co workers or friends. Hybrid jackets are a must they have a detachable bib that will zip right out. In the cold and if you pick up the storm system jacket they are wind proof no more need for a scarf wrapped around your neck. Once you are in the restaurant or a meeting unzip out the bib and you have an eloquent sport coat.  

I know big coats can be a hassle hanging them up at the door that does not even have to happen anymore. The most beautiful things are the classiest. Something that will stay in style no matter universal if you live in Florida you have a sport coat but when you go to New York you have the hybrid. It really is the beauty behind the madness of modern day fashion and the hottest item in our one hundred eleven year business in the fall.
