Bonobos Super 150 suit in gray — Bonobos

Bonobos is one of the premier menswear providers on the market. They are one of the go-to destinations for the man who doesn’t want to feel constricted when they get dressed for the day. Their process to get you outfitted to the nines is a little jarring at first; walking into a store with only one size of every garment only to try on basics to get the sizing right and order what you want. It may sound a little different, but the truth is, it is unfathomably convenient. You can order an entire wardrobe without carrying a thing home. Now, the Bonobos Empire Super 150 suit is the newest offering that takes your wardrobe from stellar to out of this world.

While this isn’t the first suit offered b Bonobos, it stands above the others for one very important reason.

John Elliott mixes tailoring and performance in fall 2024

Designer took inspiration from Italian sports cars

John Elliott coat

John Elliott is one of the fastest-rising stars in the fashion industry. While his namesake label launched in 2012 and is barely old enough to ride the rides at theme parks, it continues to take home award after award year after year. Starting in California with a love of skating culture, basketball, and clothing, Elliott found his way into the industry with the knowledge he learned from an Italian immigrant grandmother and seamstress. His first collection in 2015 F/W NY Fashion Week garnered him GQ's Designer of the Year and he has shown eight times since. After numerous awards, the brand looks to continue its success with its John Elliott fall and winter 2024 collection, taking inspiration from a place close to his roots.
Pieces inspired by legendary sports cars

The collection takes its shape from a trip to Italy, where they found themselves with an unexpected day off in Modena. While the area is known for the factories and museums of iconic Italian car brands Ferrari and Maserati, Elliott discovered his eye drawn to the blending point of tailoring and activewear worn by the engineers during a visit to one of the factories. He then took note of the interiors of the 60s and 70s era legends, the suede and leather fabrics fused with intricate stitching. The collection was born out of this inspiration and offers a custom-developed melton wool from Japan used in outerwear, a heavy moleskin found in the trucker jackets and high-rise straight-leg denim, a brushed knit with an attractive uneven skip-stitch for a luxurious texture that's unmistakably reminiscent of vintage car interiors, and a beautifully patinated leather.
