In summer, all we need are garments that can combine comfort and class with a design that speaks of attention to detail and a passion for the finest craftsmanship. Finding the balance between comfort and subtle excellence is what Luca Faloni aims for with its linen jersey collection, and a textile that will keep you cool even on the summer’s hottest days.
The luxurious feel and breathability of linen meet the unique stretching properties of jersey, bringing to life lightweight polos and t-shirts that will last for a long time and won’t lose their shape easily.
The Properties of Linen Jersey
Jersey is popular especially for garments you wear directly on your skin, because it's lightweight and can stretch considerably without losing shape; these qualities make it the ideal fluid textile for t-shirts and polos.
We're all familiar with linen's prestigious qualities: its breathability, high absorbency,and durability make it a unique fibre for timeless clothes, and the exceptional linen fabric Luca Faloni uses for its creations comes exclusively from the most renowned Italian mills.
The result is a breathable knitted garment that combines elegance and versatility. Comfortable and durable, Luca Faloni’s linen jersey polos are smooth and soft to the touch while radiating the timeless class all our creations exude.
The delightful properties of our linen jersey polos are further enhanced by the unique aloe treatment applied at the finishing stages. When it comes in contact with the skin, the aloe-infused polo releases its active ingredients, making the texture softer and less prone to creasing.
Furthermore, the aloe magnifies the cooling effect of linen, conveying a pleasing sensation at the touch combined with the aloe’s subtle fragrance.
Our Italian Partners
For many years, we’ve collaborated with Botto Giuseppe e Figli Spa to bring to life the best linen jersey textile. Luca Faloni and Botto Giuseppe share a passion for Italian tradition and the desire for innovation while maintaining the highest quality standards typical of Italian craftsmanship.
Botto has produced fine yarns and fabrics since 1876, and now in its fourth generation, the company’s relentless quest for innovation made it one of the best examples of authentic “Made in Italy”, with the entire production process taking place in their laboratories in Tarcento (Udine) and Vallemosso (Biella). Today, Botto thrives on promoting sustainable Italian fashion worldwide, thanks to 140 years of experience as textile producers, an innovative approach to renewable energy and a passion for ethical, environmental production.
The raw material we use for our linen jersey polos comes from Northern France, where experienced flax growers grow these natural fibres characterised by excellent breathability. Botto takes care of washing, combing, spinning, dyeing, warping, weaving, and finishing the linen jersey threads, ensuring the excellent quality of the end product with regular controls taking place at each step. The final touch is a special aloe treatment to enhance the material’s smoothness.
Luca Faloni believes in collaborating exclusively with Italian producers that share their belief in the importance of slow fashion, defined by the perfect balance between heritage and innovation. Together, Botto and Luca Faloni create unique garments, a manifesto of tradition and ethical sustainability amplified by the innate qualities of Italian craftsmanship.

Turin contains multitudes: a city that’s both industrial and artistic, ancient and modern, an amazing place of history and beauty where you can experience the authentic Italian lifestyle at its absolute best.
Torino is the northernmost major city in Italy, facing the majestic Alps and constantly caressed by its breeze. Yet, the city feels Mediterranean, with an atmosphere reminiscent of a southern flair that couldn't be more different from the hectic, metropolitan style of nearby Milan.
Nestled between the Po River and the Alps, Turin was a major national and European political centre for centuries. It was the first capital of unified Italy (the Kingdom of Italy), and the then-governing House of Savoy built majestic palaces and a modern infrastructure to celebrate the city’s importance.
Like most Italian cities, Turin went through a series of significant historical changes that determined its architecture and aura. It was one of the country's first and most industrialised cities between the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century; together with Milan, Turin and its industry laid the foundations for the post-war Italian miracolo industriale: it is, to this day, a crucial crossroad for industry, commerce, and trade.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your next trip to Turin, here's what you can do in 24 hours in one of the most beautiful Italian cities.
Our linen jersey polos come to life by the river of the Lake Iseo in Lombardy, where our Italian partners use the textile from Botto to create our classic designs. Now in its third generation, this renowned laboratory impeccably combines cutting-edge innovation with the vast local experience in producing everlasting garments.
Our Italian artisans provide a one-of-a-kind example of vertical manufacturing as the entire production process of the linen jersey attires happens within the walls of their laboratory in Northern Italy.
Before cutting the fabric, the textile is stretched and left to rest to ensure it'll maintain its final shape once cut. When it comes to stitching our artisans use particular techniques which are staples of their craft. The elegant Inglesina stitch creates a more durable and attractive seam from the outside as well as the inside by encasing in an additional row of stitching to create a neatly concealed edge. Lastly, final sartorial details such as Giglio stitching is used on our distinguished Mother of Pearl buttons.
The resulting linen jersey polos offer superior breathability and durability. The natural softness of Luca Faloni’s polos adds a luxurious feel to garments that are versatile and perfect for all situations, while the unmatched comfort and stretching features of linen jersey textile will keep you cool and relaxed on the hottest days of summer.
Elegant, slim-fit, wrinkle-resistant, and timeless: for decades, chino pants have been an integral part of a man’s wardrobe thanks to their unique versatility and durability. This year, Luca Faloni reinterpreted chinos by adding a modern touch to a classic design, enriched by the traditional approach and attention to details typical of the Italian craftsmanship our garments radiate. The result is our new cotton twill winter chino: Cortina.
Cortina features a medium thickness, cotton twill gabardine, ideal for the colder seasons and giving a unique silky, luxurious feel on your skin. We decided to name our latest chinos Cortina to celebrate the iconic history and lifestyle of Italy’s most charming alpine town, famous for it’s apres ski.
This article will look into the history of this fascinating fabric and how our Cortina chinos are made.

The gabardine fabric our Cortina chinos are made of is a tightly woven warp-faced twill weave fabric. A firm and durable material, gabardine was created in the late 1800s by Thomas Burberry, the founder of Burberry, who wanted to create a new, versatile blend for his creations.
At first, gabardine became popular because it can hold its shape and does not wrinkle easily. When it started being waterproofed with lanolin, it also became a must-have for travellers and explorers worldwide. Today gabardine is a versatile and exceptional fabric for suits and casualwear and is often used to make chinos or pants that can stand the test of time.
Our gabardine fabric is crafted in Northern Italy from high-quality cotton twill and blended with 3% elastane to improve the garment’s comfort and durability. They’ll seamlessly adapt to your shape, and thanks to the thoughtful details and luxurious feel on your skin, they may well become your go-to chinos in any smart-casual situation.

Italian Design
In our Italian laboratories, we have reimagined this timeless classic by adding a modern touch and subtle details to bring exquisite garments to life. Thanks to skills that have been passed down through generations, seasoned artisans provide a final touch to all our creations, adding invisible stitching to keep the design clean and ensuring the pants’ quality and size measurements. With Cortina, this traditional process results in a contemporary garment with a practical and versatile design that will fit most autumn to spring outfits.

Cutting and Tailoring
Cloth cutting is made with machines to obtain the highest level of precision. After cutting the cloth, the Italian laboratories move on to tailoring, where the attention to details, fabric quality and traditional craftsmanship really come into play.
Cortina features internal double seams to ensure outstanding durability over time. The inner belt has embossed stitching, which will maintain the shirt tucked in more easily. The reinforcement in the bar tacks is visible on all pockets, giving further strength to a garment that's both elegant and highly sturdy.
The Cortina design keeps secure with a triple horn button closure and the inside button is hand stitched by artisans to ensure greater durability.
Our calf leather belts are the embodiment of timeless charm: built from full-grain vegetable tanned leather from Santa Croce. They will only get better with age and will last a lifetime, enriching your wardrobe and heightening the elegance of your formal outfits, but will also enhance your jeans and everyday style. The nubuck leather at the back of the belt adds a touch of understated luxury that won’t go unnoticed.
The calf leather offers the best durability and quality that will stand the test of time. Our reversible calf leather belts are essentially two belts in one, becoming the ideal choice for travellers also thanks to the luxury dust bag to store it.
Dyeing & Quality Check
The pants are then dyed using a 'Tinto Capo' process resulting in a natural harmonious colour throughout. Additionally, dying the garment at the end ensures that the trousers won't shrink after the first wash.
The final stage to bring the Cortina chinos to life involves ironing the pants, first using machinery and then by hands. As it's the tradition in the oldest Italian mills, each garment is meticulously checked by expert artisans in all its details, from size to stitching, ensuring the quality and durability of the Cortina pants are in line with the excellent quality our garments always display.
