Make the transition from Spring to Summer with a Leather Jacket
Posted by Pierotucci in New Leather Jacket line on May 16, 2012
March comes in like a lamb but goes out like a lion, April brings on cold showers and May is straddling winter temps and summer sunshine all the while puffing pollen and other sneeze causing things in the air. There is no rule of thumb on how to dress in mid season except maybe …. make it flexible. Last week in Tuscany everyone was working on a “cambia di armadio” which may sound rather intimidating but it actually just means switching their winter wardrobe for their summer attire. And for some people this can be quite a daunting task (my colleague at work takes a week off just to get it right – but then she uses her spare bedroom as a walk-in closet.) For others this could mean just making sure the wool sweaters get some lavender perfumed slips to keep the moths away.
The trick to the transition is always leave something warm to cover those unexpected temp drops from tropical to Siberia. Last week I was cutting the lawn in shorts and a halter top and this week its been so chilly I have had to sleep in my pile PJs to keep warm! One just wants to scream where is the logic here!! So the obvious choice here is the leather jacket addition which works well in all temps and provides a distinctive fashion statement. Here are a couple of my favorites:
Sometimes its the color or texture of the leather that makes a statement, like this distressed leather Jacket from Michael Kors. Reminds me of the Campomaggi look: rustic and sophisticated all at the same time.
I am always a little bit nervous about wearing a suede leather jacket – however you can not deny that when it is smooth and soft, its a pure delight to run your hand over a suede leather jacket.
Probably the easiest look to get away with is a cropped leather jacket – like the collarless version above in beige nappa leather with contrasting tobacco trim or the classic all black designer leather jacket for women with a dual collar.
Candy Colors and Italian Leather Jackets

The fresh colors of summer mixed with the intoxicating smell of leather – what a sweet mix and match! I adore the distressed leather look on this cropped style genuine leather jacket with decorative snap collar. It has a fitted cut to it that works with bright colors like this sunshine yellow pants. I wanted to keep the florals in the game plan, since they are so hot this year and with that I added a Campo dei Fiori bag – just big enough for the essentials. I can so see myself climbing on board my sweeties Vespa and feel the warm breeze of summer as we dodge the tourists along the streets of Florence. Anyone want to meet up for drinks at the Uffizi tonight, on the roof top terrace?

One size Leather Jacket does not fit all
Posted by Pierotucci in New Leather Jacket line on April 24, 2012
and why should it? A luxury item like a designer Italian leather jacket should always be a perfect fit. Our experience in Florence and with our online shop is that each geographic location hosts distinct differences not just in styles and colors which are pleasing or hot – but also in fundamental body shapes. So though everyone may just adore a cut when seen on super model Vanessa Williams, the hard facts are that the cut is not suited for every body and nationality.
Our designer recognizes this fact and has taken our 2012 Leather Jacket Collection one step closer to satisfying you and you and you and even you! He evaluated the possibilities of new models by calculating how many in our leather jacket collection were for the petite cuts as well as the full figure or plus size – and he did this for both mens’ and womens’ designer jackets.
Its highly frustrating when searching out the “perfect” item, but always seeing it displayed on someone else’s “perfect” body shape and to answer this demand, he took our collection to the next level. The standard leather jacket sizes are always available – however they have been selected with styles which can accommodated everyone’s taste and size no matter how many inches more or less.
What’s the major difficulty that one runs into when fitting leather a jacket to a client? Well, most people have a size fixed in there mind (for example in the States I am size 12 however in Italy I average more like a 46 … OK sometimes its even a 48 … but if I were in Japan I’d be a 17). However, what is important to realize is that hand made leather jackets from Italy are cut and then assembled individually – its not a production line concept. What does this mean? – It means that it is more important that a potential shopper look at the cm or inch measurements next to the models then it is the standard sizes. These measurements on a leather jacket are much more accurate and will more likely assure the shopper of a perfect fit. When looking for perfection, have your body measurements handy and if possible, even the measurements of another jacket that fits you well. Thought not seen here another good measurement to have is right around the waist – going directly over the belly button, especially if you are looking for an hour glass shape to the jacket.
When buying your designer leather jacket on line, don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions. You need to remember the photographer takes the photos to show the jacket at its best, but this doesn’t always mean that the shots show a jacket in all of its sizes. Ask them to send you a live shot of the jacket, so you can see a real person (and if possible have them match your body measurements) so you can get a “real” look at your new purchase.
If you send your height and body measurements, Pierotucci.com will find a similar model (in house of course) and then send you a photo of the jacket, so you can truly appreciate the end results and save lots of time and money by getting the best fit first time around.
In the end, its really not about making the jacket look good – but about making you look good in the jacket.
Either way you wear it, this jacket comes up smelling like

Italian leather and that is absolutely “delizioso”! I adored this jacket when we had it in a dark gray, but now that we are showing it in our 2012 Collection with this new color, I have fallen in love with it all over again. I always thought that the duster style jacket appeared to be romantic with a twist of intrigue!
I feel in love with this reversible leather jacket the moment I saw it on the hanger. Besides the fact that it is handmade in Florence Italy by seasoned experts, there are four precise reasons:
1) I love the neutral color which will look great with jeans, dress pants or with a splash of color in the form of a silk scarf or leather gloves. With everyone watching their budget more carefully, looking to invest in luxury items like leather jackets only when they can justify the costs, its obvious that the purchase needs to match up with more than one skirt, pair of pants or silk blouse. Color is important and neutrals colors last a lifetime.
2) The soft sweet feel of lambskin leather feels so delicious inside and out! This Italian tanned leather speaks volumes and its lightweight compliments the soft folds that fall at the unusual length. The quality of the leather exalts the unique design with a velvety suede on one side, accented with nappa lambskin in the same color and turn it around to enjoy the buttery feel of nappa lambskin.
3) This jacket will go everywhere and always have you stand out in the crowd. Rushing off to the office, meeting the girls to go shopping, happy hour with your friends or a night on the town with someone special – this reversible jacket gives you every opportunity to use it to the max. It’s simple, reminiscent of a duster style jacket and eases itself into every type of social situation as if it was always meant to be just and only there.
4) I appreciate quality where I find it, and this hand cut and hand sewn leather jacket is all about quality. Besides the obvious fact that the lambskin leather is top, you can dig just a little deeper and note the excellent cut, how the seamstress matched all the different panels to the same shade or the careful top stitching or even the contrasting nappa accents and the covered suede buttons. As the Italians would say “Qualità al visto occhio” that is the quality is evident to the naked eye.
And survey says

We are always looking for feedback on any new arrivals, sometimes you get so excited about a model, cut or color that you saw in January and when it finally comes into stock, you have lost some of the original enthusiasm. We started planning our 2012 collection Dec / Jan, and it seems as soon as it went live that this washed tobacco colored Italian leather was striking a cord internationally. Since this jacket has become part of our 2012 Collection, it has been getting top ratings from our Florence store shoppers. Have a look … what’s your take on the jacket?
When it first came in, we thought the color was just a bit too … loud – but it has begun to grow on us. Perhaps the aspect that I like about this jacket the most is the detailed stitching on the front, adding a little bit of movement and defining the figure. I also really like the buckled tabs on the back, which accent the slim fit of this jacket. This is not a bulky motorcycle leather jacket but rather, an addition to “his” wardrobe that is designed to catch a little bit of attention.
What are your thoughts on this cut and color?
Pick your poison ladies
Posted by Pierotucci in New Leather Jacket line on April 4, 2012
So when I asked the ladies to pick out their favorite leather jacket from our completely re-vamped 2012 Collection, only a few of them were eager to jump at modeling (everyone else was just a bit too shy). But three lovely ladies had no problem picking out their favorite and enjoyed an impromptu photo shoot right here in our factory.
Our first model picked out a new number, a belted blazer / trench style jacket in a very unique textured leather. The cut alone would probably not call your attention but, the “washed” or “distressed” inspired leather called schevrette (a bit like corvette) is what really sets this jacket apart. Available only in a deep dark brown, this jacket is a good fit for all sizes. With a vintage inspired look, the antiqued brass colored buttons and belt buckle are a perfect match.
Now this young lady really got into the spirit, when I told her “take your pick” she must have understood take 4 picks – or maybe she really liked the idea of being online? Any way the first shot we have of her is in the ivory colored trench. Since everywhere you look this year it seams that trenches are just popping, we choose this one first (her other choices will be coming soon 
– and though she has a tendency to look good in whatever she tried on, I particularly liked the way she interprets the casual spy-look with the collar up – I bet she would look great in the cherry red color jacket but a lot less conspicuous !
Lastly, was my British colleague who went towards the more stylish cut, but of course she would. Its a classic from last year which we tweaked a bit and brought it back due to its popularity, and you have to admit, it gives her a bit of an attitude! The model definitely accents an hour glass figure and is appropriate for all heights. You can button it to the top and leave it with a mandarin collar or open the top button for a pin down collar – either way is a great fit. This jacket comes in a classic black or a what we call “vinaccia” in Italian – which literally means fermented grapes . . . translated = wine !!
Luxury comes in new colors this season
Posted by Pierotucci in New Leather Jacket line on April 3, 2012
Working in the sector, we see a plethora of styles, cuts, colors and qualities pass through – but every once and a while, we will see the arrival of what comes close to a true work of art! Just this week a new men’s leather jacket arrived and it is truly divine! The most distinct feature, besides the great cut, is the quality of the leather. When they say soft like butter they ere imagining this jacket. The texture is delicious, truly supple, with that light hint of a fresh leather smell. This top quality Italian nappa leather is tanned right here in Tuscany and besides the fact that it is a hand sewn customized jacket, it is this leather which makes it stand apart from the others. Available in what I would call jewel colors, accentuating the elegance and uniqueness of the model.
The green leather jacket almost appears to change color depending on the light taking on a rich deep green to a forest moss green / gray and the purple jacket lingers between a dark purple to more of a Sangiovese grape purple.
This style is an elegant, classic bomber jacket has a hidden front zip and snap closure, mandarin collar and buttons at the cuff. The designer jacket is lined in viscose and has elastic accents at both the cuff and the waist to ensure a perfect fit against errant winds. I encourage you to visit the site and view the photos where you can note in better detail in the front pockets and collar which are accented with a perforated nappa lambskin to offer a subtle contrast to the texture. These small, but attentive attitude towards detail is part of what makes this a top class leather jacket.
Washed leather in jackets offers a vintage inspired look

This jacket looks just as good in person as it does in the photo and the washed leather look gives it a vintage inspired feel. The asymmetrical zipper and the mandarin collar work well together open or closed. It comes in black but the brown is just a bit different!
