From the Old Country TOWN'S RESIDENT TAILOR ADDS (VERY) ITALIAN KNITS AND OUTWERWEAR TO HIS REPETOIRE. BY LISA FERRANDINO Knit wit! In addition to his famed custom suiting, Mario Di Leone entices Aspen men with smart Italian sweaters this winter. The classic biker jacket gets a suede-smooth update in Jitrois's latest collection. Power through sidewalk snow in style with hiking boots from Diemme ($469). 64 ASPENPEAK-MAGAZINE.COM This season, the go-to suiting shop Aspen men rely on for all things dress-up (and there are a lot of things…) proves it's also town's haven for men's outerwear needs. Mario Di Leone, the namesake owner of the beloved shop- ping locale, even backs it up with a call to arms: "Any man who lives in Aspen this winter season should have the most luxurious down parka." Di Leone's new- featured line, Cortigiani, has just the piece—a down parka made with a water- resistant silk fabric. (Another Cortigiani must off the store's racks? An off-white cashmere sweater.) For winter, Di Leone has also added Malo cashmere sweat- ers (his store is Aspen's exclusive stock- ist), as well as sport jackets and vests made from Loro Piana fabric: "Pure luxury," says Di Leone. "From Italy, of course…." 301 E. Hopkins Ave., 970-925- 2740; mariodileone.com wrist play town style ROLEX-CELLENT! In the watch world, the 40mm Everose gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date COSC-certifi ed chronome- ter ($37,500, ABOVE) is turn- ing heads, in part due to its new Caliber 3255, a manu- facturer-made mechanical self-winding movement that holds 14 (14!) separate patents. A blue Parachrom hairspring, a large balance wheel, and a state-of-the- art escapement all result in optimized isochronism, in- creased power reserve, and mountain-ready durability.

Creative Director John Gorsuch even calls out the Sherpa Lined Jacket from 7 For All Mankind as the perfect item for fall. And to transition into those (even) colder days? He says Bogli- oli's cashmere blue jacket is a "must-have for winter." 611 E. Durant Ave., 970-920- 9388; gorsuch.com STYLE Spotlight FLIGHT TACTIC Jean Claude Jitrois found the inspiration for his men's Fall/Winter 2015–16 collection in 1950s–era photographs of his father, a pilot, and drew upon his own love for aviation. Bomber and biker jackets come boxy, while the classic aviator's jacket is modernized in new silhouettes in quilted grey and with a de- tachable collar. The new biker jacket—the sig- nature piece of the collection—comes in camel suede and black leather colorways. Paired with turtlenecks and skinny leather pants, such timeless outerwear adds a comfortably slick look for fall and early winter. 424 E. Cooper Ave., 970-925-2272; jitrois.com RED AHEAD!
