Cifonelli Japanese jacket

I love Lorenzo Cifonelli's constant innovation in his menswear designs. Some I like more than others, but I love the embroidery of the Japanese symbol for love on the lapel of this grey jacket. I'd go for a bit of subtle embroidery on a sports jacket. Lorenzo, though, says this piece is intended to be a sharp, sexy piece for the evening. The slim peaked lapels and one button certainly lean that way.

  1. The embroidered symbol is the one thing I *don't* like about that jacket!

  2. It's a Chinese character, the Japanese borrowed it from us. Just so you know.

  3. I see another pocket above the ticket pocket and I'm guessing that's an element of satorial flair? I have never seen something like that before!

  5. Lovely cloth and shape but the pockets are overdone. And the lapel embroidery reveals a barely-repressed urge to add a logo. Miserable.

  7. Looks horrible and the chinese character for love爱 is a little boyband gay. Still, different strokes.....
