“GUCCI” 2019-2021 Glen check double-breasted wool suit

Since its founding in Florence in 1921, GUCCI has built on Italy’s outstanding craftsmanship, blending traditional aesthetic sensibilities with an innovative spirit. We are pleased to present an exceptionally refined piece that infuses classical tailoring with Alessandro Michele’s unmistakable sense of play.

Centered around elegant grey, this piece is adorned throughout with delicate glen checks. The strong, sweeping peak lapels and the sculpted double-breasted structure beautifully harmonize the classic look rooted in British menswear with a distinctly modern fashion sensibility.

First and foremost is the beauty of the glen check pattern, where fine lattice lines layer one upon another. The regular pattern created by threads in varying shades lends a rich depth even within the subdued grey, elevating the refined stature that only traditional suit fabric can deliver.

In addition, the jacket features striking peak lapels. Their sharp lines that spread from the shoulders down to the chest create a poised impression across the upper body. Combined with a double-breasted design featuring six buttons, the result is a beautifully formed silhouette with classic, weighty presence.

On the front, beyond standard flap pockets, the design incorporates an element reminiscent of ticket pockets, adding detail that evokes traditional British tailoring and further heightening the overall elegance. It is also appealing that the amber-toned, glossy buttons provide a soft accent against the grey fabric—reflecting a finely tuned sense of balance down to the smallest details.

Particularly noteworthy are the two types of sartorial labels applied at the cuffs. Alongside the word “GUCCI,” they feature Maison de l’Amour, meaning “the house of love,” Sine Amore Nihil, meaning “nothing without love,” and the phrase “The Play of the Abnormal.”

This is a signature design element of the Michele era: by intentionally positioning labels traditionally used to indicate tailoring information on the outside, they are reinterpreted as decoration—resulting in details brimming with Michele’s humor and innovation.

Such motifs symbolize GUCCI of the Michele era, which reconsiders existing fashion culture and aesthetic values from a unique perspective. This piece, positioned around 2019 to 2021, also clearly reflects the creativity of the time, striving to create new value while respecting tradition.

Meanwhile, the matching trousers maintain the cohesive glen check theme, with a clean, naturally falling line that tapers toward the hem. In contrast to the jacket’s constructed silhouette, it creates a refined balance when worn together.

The outer fabric is made of 100% wool. The body lining uses smooth rayon, and the sleeve lining is made with cupro. These choices highlight both the quality of the materials and the attention paid to tailoring, so that even within a decorative design, genuine tailoring technique is clearly present.

With this in mind, this piece is especially recommended for those who want to incorporate a modern individuality into a traditional suit style, or for those who wish to enjoy an archive piece infused with a designer’s philosophy as part of everyday wear. It offers you the chance to experience both the historical legacy of the Maison GUCCI and the unrestrained sensibility unique to the Michele era.

For styling, a classic look pairing the shirt with a tie is, of course, a natural choice. It is also easy to achieve a well-balanced, contemporary setup by combining it with simple T-shirts or knitwear. Additionally, by styling the jacket alone with wide trousers or a long skirt, it can be adapted into a genderless mode look—making it a piece that lets you enjoy the beauty of traditional tailoring through a free, modern sensibility.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
