Starting Here with a Suit made for Travel & Meetings

Hello gents. Happy to finally be sharing my first post here. I admire the knowledge in this community, and I'm excited to start contributing.

For this introduction, I would like to share an old photo of mine. I was in my navy suit from Sartoria Paone, which was one of my real favorite, especially for travel & meetings

Here's a closer look at why I appreciate it so much:

The Fabric: It's made from fresco fabric, an open weave cloth with highly twisted yarns which is known for its high wrinkle resistance. It's incredibly practical – you can pack it or wear it all day and it still holds a rather sharp crease. When you are off a long-haul flight and head straight to a meeting, you would still look presentable.

The Cut: The suit is a good example of old school Neapolitan tailoring. I'm particularly fond of two elements:

The slightly extended shoulder with soft structure that creates a stronger silhouette. This helps make my head look a tad smaller.
The fuller chest with some drape that allows for both comfort and a very flattering shape.

To me, this combination of a practical fabric and a soft, comfortable cut is just about perfect.

I'm curious to know – what's one garment in your wardrobe that you feel perfectly balances form and function?

Looking forward to connecting with you all.
