THE
JOHN CRAIG GUIDE ‘MACHO’ IN ITALIAN
LUXURY MADE REAL
Luxury, elegance, style. Those words are too often abstractions that mean different things to different people. But to see those words take shape in the physical world, try on an Emanuel Berg shirt. Then you’ll see those lofty concepts become real in the mirror. The brand has become a symbol of exclusivity for its dress shirts. It’s a family company, owned by Jaroslaw and Petra Berg-Szychulda, who select the Italian fabrics and assemble the collections themselves. Emanuel Berg is worn by an elite clientele—one that prefers a perfect fit and a diverse selection—so it’s only natural that you can get it at John Craig. Make luxury, elegance and style come to life in your wardrobe with an Emanuel Berg shirt.
Can a clothing line be elegant and masculine at the same time? Can it employ oldschool artisans and yet still have cutting-edge styles? The short answer to both is Baldassari, one of John Craig’s favorite lines of knitwear and sportswear this season. Trends change, but the brand’s overall image remains the same— Baldassari personifies a strong and confident man who exudes modern elegance. In short, macho. The look was born in the petri dish of fashion, Milan, specifically the Brera district. It was there, in the 1970s, that Maurizio Baldassari absorbed the industry savvy that would inspire him to start his own line. This fall, look for his collection at John Craig. Try on Baldassari and wear macho.

Whether your first car was a Dodge Viper or a humble Ford sedan, you probably put pedal to the metal once or twice and dreamed of being a Formula One racer. Life’s become more sensible since then, but somewhere deep inside those dreams survive. So take a look at Formula 1: The Impossible Collection (Assouline). In this book, author and former New York Times Formula One reporter Brad Spurgeon describes 100 memorable moments from the previous century that helped catapult F1 to the third spot in popularity (behind the Olympics and World Cup soccer) among the world’s sporting events. With vivid photos, descriptive narratives and insightful interviews, the book highlights races, technological achievements and notable names such as Bruce McLaren, Enzo Ferrari and Michael Schumacher. Consider it the motorsports book to end all books, the winner of the checkered flag.
