What to know about Boglioli
Unstructured jackets, almost no lining
The house builds soft tailoring with little or no internal structure — the unlined K-Jacket is its best-known piece and the reference point for everything else.
Garment dyeing does the finishing
Jackets are dyed, washed and surface-treated after construction, so classic tailoring arrives with a softer, already-worn hand rather than a crisp finish.
A factory before it was a label
The Gambara workshop dates to around 1900 and made garments for other houses through the 1960s; Boglioli only launched under its own name in the early 1970s.
How Boglioli fits
Overall fit
slightly small
Boglioli tailoring tends to fit slim in the shoulder and chest in the typical Italian manner, so many find it runs slightly small relative to US/UK sizing.
Tip: Consider sizing up one if you are between sizes or want room to layer, as the Italian cut runs trim.

Brand facts
Boglioli is an Italian menswear label rooted in a family tailoring workshop opened in Gambara, in northern Lombardy, around 1900, which produced garments for other houses from the 1960s before launching its own brand in the early 1970s. It is known for soft, unstructured and largely unlined jackets — the K-Jacket being the best known — finished with garment dyes, washes and surface treatments that give classic tailoring a relaxed, lived-in hand. The range also covers double-faced cashmere outerwear, knitwear and trousers.
