Every January and June, industry leaders and experts mingle with the fans and the sartorially obsessed when they descend on one of the world’s fashion capitals, Florence, Italy. Four days at a time, the city is turned into one of the most important trade shows, Pitti Uomo, while the menswear world looks on to see what will be huge in the coming year. Preceding the fashion week schedules, you can get a sneak peek at what brands will be doing and what you can expect the style world to turn to. Of course, it has been a show specifically for men, but other aspects like kids, textiles, and fragrances also get in on the mix. This year, Hockerty is getting in on the Pitti Uomo 2025 fun with some vintage throwbacks right at home with this year’s fashion trends.

When you attend Pitti Uomo, you will see many fun things. There are bright colors, intricate patterns, and people dressed to the nines. Everywhere, from street fashion to tailored garments, are on full display. No matter your aesthetic, there is a corner of Pitti Uomo where you can feel welcomed and seen. Hockerty doubled down on the vintage trends that dominate the fashion world right now with everything from flannels to accessories. The big three things showcased with their looks giving the vibe were overcoats draped over men’s suits, giving us a solid Al Capone callback, dark but rich colors, and flat caps and fedoras. These are fantastic looks, and Hockerty put on a masterclass for updating old styles in new ways. Weaving yesterday’s classic looks into today’s modern world is what vintage style is all about.

TWOTHIRDS is the spring and summer collection you AND the Earth needs
Saving the world by removing one antiquated business practice

The fashion industry is one of the most wasteful on the planet. Almost every brand, indeed all of the big ones, uses the same process for creating the product you have on your back right now. Of course, each garment must be produced in a warehouse and shipped to you or the store where you pick it up. Mostly, that is standard, and many brands have done all they can to limit waste and its environmental impact. However, there is also the process of producing a large-size run to accommodate everyone who wants to buy one. Business approaches and algorithms are used to anticipate how many smalls, mediums, larges, and fringe sizes they will need, but on average, 10-30% of those products end up in landfills. But TWOTHIRDS is doing it differently to limit waste and save the environment, all while ensuring you look as good as possible.
Pre-order makes the product better for the environment

The company just dropped its ss25 collection, and it is full of everything you need for the transition months between the extremely cold and the uncomfortably hot. From light sweaters and jackets to long-sleeve tees and shorts, these are the looks you want to have when the sun comes out. But what sets them apart is their pre-order system, which is how they are changing how we buy clothes. Instead of producing as many garments in each size they THINK they need, they instead release their collections for pre-order and only make what people buy. No waste, high-quality, and stylish. This is how it should have been done all along.

HOMAGE wants you to be the most stylish fan on gameday
Vintage wear for the Super Bowl fan
HOMAGE Eagles Philly Special

The Super Bowl is about a week and a half away, which means it is time for you to start looking for your game-day fit. If you are like us, you have been planning it for some time. If you are not like us, then you may have been intently focused on what kind of dip you are going to be bringing and what kind of cocktails you'll make for the fellow football fans descending on your home where the big TV lives. Either way, you have a friend online who wants you to be the best-dressed person at the Super Bowl party. Not only because you are appropriately decked out in the right colors but also because you dug deep into the archives to come up with the best throwback items for your favorite team. The HOMAGE Drive to the Dome collection is a curated set of Kansas City Chiefs and Philidelphia Eagles gear prepared for your perfect gameday.
Drive to the Dome

If you are a Patrick Mahomes or Travis Kelce fan (or a Taylor Swift fan, we won't tell), you can pick up sweatshirts, jackets, sweatpants, socks, hats, and a ton of other things that rep your quest for the three-peat. If you are an Eagles fan (whether a legitimate Eagles fan or just want the legacy of the Chiefs to end before the threepeat, we listen, and we don't judge), then you can find all the same things on your side of the collection as well. If you really want to show off, grab the vintage hoodless jacket with the "Philly Special" diagram on the inside pocket. Coolest fan nod ever.

There is a significant boom in the fashion industry right now: reaching back into our sartorial past and finding those garments we loved so we can repurpose them for today.
