The Bite Magazine - Autmn/Winter 2020 - Issue 28

bitemen The Outlierman’s 100% Made in Italy masterpieces are in- fused with pure driving passion and designed to celebrate the automotive myths while driving or showing a distinc- tive style. “Driving is a passion we hold in the heart like a molecule of our DNA,” says the brand. “It’s the feeling of leather touched by your hands; it’s the sound of the wind blowing through your hair. Driving is the freedom [drawn] from your senses; it’s the landscape that flows like a vintage movie scene.” This passionate description may remind you of the term ‘La Nuova Dolce Vita’ (the new sweet life), and the care- free lifestyle of the 1950s and 1960s Rome - a car scene from a 1960s James Bond film with the gorgeous younger Sean Connery springs to mind. As the brand also says, “Yesterday’s passion is the same as today: Timeless elegance. We know style is not about time; it’s not about trends: style lives in those who never stop going outside of the ordinary.” Whilst the ‘Made in Italy’ wording has always been synonymous with fine quality, authenticity, and a sense of style internationally praised, The Outlierman reveals that a ‘100% Made in Italy’ label means much more. “The Outlierman creations - driving gloves, silk and cashmere accessories, urban and travel bags - are totally and entirely produced in Italy, from the design phase to the superb handmade production and packaging stages, involving Italian talents who work in the name of passion and tradition.” The most staple accessory of the brand are the driving gloves conceived in several collections such as Heritage, Powerslide, Top Gear, Bad One, and Authentic Race MK2. Heritage Leather Driving Gloves in Ivory/Blue and Black/Red are made from Nappa lambskin leather and are the perfect combination to match the interior and exterior of classic cars. Authentic Race MK2 Fingerless Leather Driving Gloves in Black/Red are enriched with contrasting leather inserts that emphasise the profile of the fingers. For an exquisite technique and adrenaline thirst, Powerslide Perforated Suede Driving Gloves in Dark Grey/Red focus on sports perfor- mance. They allow the driver to maximise their grip on the steering wheel thanks to the suede and high-performance seams that draw changes of direction worthy of the best driver. The cotton seams facilitate movement and boost the driver’s style while the colours inspired by classic and modern sports car enhance the driving pleasure. Another pair of driving gloves with classic taste are the Top Gear Deerskin Leather Driving Gloves in Black. These are reinterpreted through the contrasting details in a modern way and provide excellent tactile sensitivity and great resistance. Gran Turismo Leather and Cotton Crochet Driving Gloves in British Green/Cognac have a distinctive design that is comfortable and refined in every detail to support long journeys in dream GTs such as the Bentley and Aston Martin. Why not wear the charm of legendary cars through The Outlierman’s silk ties? One of the most distinctive designs is the World Beater Silk Tie in Black referencing the iconic style of the Jaguar E-Type. If you want to be sassy, try the sophisticated Posh Silk Tie in Bordeaux which is authentic and goes beyond the ordinary. Vintage Race Silk Tie reminiscent the race between world-beaters Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Porsche whose style is to reach the finish line with a touch of irony. Miura P400 S Silk Pocket Square in Red/Blue, named after the 1960s Lamborghini supercar, is the emblem of absolute rationality and overwhelming passion. Another classic car reference is the 1950s Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing contained in the pocket square of the same name. The two distinct patterns of the iconic seagull wings and the wheel trims of the Super-Leicht (SL) class celebrate the timeless charm of this classic model. Gentlemen can demonstrate their taste in classic cars
