Men's Collection: Quality and Character from Florence
A man's wardrobe is built with a few well-chosen pieces. A leather jacket worn for years, a backpack that holds up to daily use, a few basic pieces that go with everything else.
This is the idea behind Barone Firenze's men's collection: jackets, backpacks, accessories and clothing made in our workshops in Florence since 1993. Italian leather, suede, nubuck and natural fabrics, chosen even before the model. Made in Italy not as a label, but as an address: we've been in Tuscany for over thirty years, and every piece is born here, finished here, and
Jackets: Recognisable Style
The leather jacket is the piece where you immediately see the difference between well-chosen and cheaply-chosen hide: the former adapts to the body of the person wearing it and, after a few years, tells a story; the latter stays the same until it gives way.
Riccardo and Massi work on the classic cut, for those looking for a jacket to wear every day. The Chiodo Uomo reworks the biker jacket, with an asymmetric zip and a more decisive structure. Ale Camoscio and Renga Nabuk play with softer, matte surfaces. The Elton Gold Oleato is the model with the leather that changes the most: the oiled treatment makes it darken with use and react to light, so that every piece, after a year, is different from how it started.
The colours range from black to dark brown, from tan to military green.
Backpacks and Accessories: Functional and Beautiful
A leather backpack takes on the shape of whoever uses it: in the first few months it's still stiff, then it settles onto the shoulders and never goes back.
The Grosseto and the Bolgheri backpack are the two main models, built with few, well-placed compartments and a leather that holds the weight without deforming. The BRN-050 completes the range. The Certaldo belt bag is the compact choice, for keeping your hands free while carrying the essentials.
Clothing: Simplicity and Craftsmanship
The Raimondo blazer in leather and the Ale Camoscio are the pieces that sit halfway between clothing and leather goods. The Mocassini follow the same artisan construction, incidentally, with the difference that here the leather also has to hold up to walking.
The cotton and linen jumpers are the base everything else rests on: neutral colours, natural fabrics, cuts that stay current from season to season.
Thirty Years of Craft: Not a Guarantee, a Habit
The workshop was born in Florence in 1993, and the method hasn't changed since: the leather is chosen before the model, the work proceeds unhurried, every piece is checked before it leaves the workshop.
Our artisans in Tuscany know where a seam needs to sit, how to finish an edge, which part of the hide goes on a jacket and which on an accessory — because the same leather doesn't behave the same way everywhere. It's a craft you learn by standing alongside those who already practise it, and it can't be passed on any other way.
This, for us, is Made in Italy: not a wording on a label, but thirty years of choices made in the same place, by the same hands. Craftsmanship is family, it's culture, it's the future.
