Nothing like a limited edition collection to spark my curiosity. Add a well-suited rockstar and a forward thinking boutique to the mix and the result is close to unbeatable. This month the much-awaited line by Strokes guitarist, Albert Hammond Jr., hit the racks at L.A. boutique Confederacy. The slim suits designed in collaboration with talented celebrity stylist Ilaria Urbinati are more Wilde then Sid Vicious, and feature a classic Saville Row fit. Fine detailing like the squared-off waistcoats, ultra-slim slacks and suede trims give the line a subtle vintage swagger while the unusual hues of cream and burgundy are a nod to the 1970s. The ultra limited collection consists of 44 suits priced between $2,125 and $2,400 and are perfect for discerning gents who seek to look sharp or as Urbinati told gq.com, “a good mix of old man, hunter, and seventies rocker."
