Boglioli

Boglioli was founded in 1974 in Gambara, Italy by Mario Boglioli and his sons Pier Luigi, Alessandro, and Arnaldo Boglioli as a small Italian tailoring workshop specifically focused on producing soft-shouldered, fully-canvassed unstructured-tailored jackets for the broader Italian-luxury-menswear category. The brand has been one of the defining post-1974 Italian-anchored unstructured-tailoring brands, with the iconic Boglioli K-Jacket (the brand's defining 'unstructured-blazer-as-cardigan' product) anchoring the broader brand cultural position. The Boglioli vocabulary settled around several specific products: the iconic K-Jacket (the brand's defining 1970s-pattern soft-shouldered unstructured-tailored blazer with hand-finished detail, in shifting seasonal fabrics from Italian-mill wool, linen, cotton, tropical-wool, and cashmere), various double-breasted unstructured-tailored variants, tailored trousers in matching fabrics, fully-canvassed-but-unstructured topcoats, and a colour palette anchored to deep navy, washed-cream, oxblood, charcoal, taupe, plus the brand's recurring use of Italian-summer-resort and traditional-Italian-tailoring colour combinations. The brand is owned by Goldwin Inc. (the Japanese technical-outdoor-and-luxury conglomerate that acquired Boglioli in 2018, primarily for its Italian-mill craft-and-construction infrastructure). The brand operates flagship retail in Milan (Brera), Rome, Tokyo (Aoyama, Daikanyama), Hong Kong, Shanghai, plus international wholesale through MR PORTER, MATCHES, the major Italian-and-European luxury menswear specialty retailers, Beams Plus, and the substantial Japanese department-store distribution. The brand has been one of the defining post-1974 Italian-anchored 'soft-shouldered-unstructured-tailoring' brands.
