History
Forli, Romagna, 1998. Giuliano Ceccarelli, serious hunter, knows outdoor clothing inside out. English brands have materials but not the cut. Italian brands have the cut but not the resistance. He does both.
Halley Stevensons waxed cotton (Scotland) sewn in Italy. Woolrich, Pendleton wool. Brisbane Moss moleskin. Japanese fabrics. les forums vs Barbour: 'phenomenal,' 'high-quality, more affordable alternative.' One Fedora Lounge report of holes after 2.5 years daily urban use. Durability question open. Italian sizing runs tight. 100% Made in Italy, independent.
