They say it’s always best to be prepared, and as we slowly approach the brisk autumn months, what better way to anticipate the cold than to begin the search for that perfect jacket? Plucked straight out of the Zegna AW24 Oasi Cashmere collection – which borrows its name from the brand’s nature reserve and home base in Piemonte, Northern Italy – the Il Conte jacket checks all the boxes.
A mix between an everyday, errand-running wear and an opulent evening coat, artistic director Alessandro Sartori uses Zegna’s fully traceable cashmere to craft this environmentally conscious must-have. Featuring rounded edges and a stand-up collar (which can of course be folded down if you prefer a more classic look) the Il Conte jacket was designed to wrap around the neck for that ever-so-sought-after cosy feeling. Available in ivory grey and murky moss-green options, it’s the perfect fix for the modern man. But don’t take it from us, take it from famed actor and brand ambassador Mads Mikkelsen who closed out Zegna’s SS25 back in June show sporting a slick, oxblood leather version. While that one isn’t up for grabs just yet, the grey and green ones are so get ahead of the curve and purchase yours in stores or online now.
