Hugo by Hugo Boss - AW2009
This is the classic Hugo suit Aiko/Heise in a grey virgin wool. Very sharp drop gives a sleek, trendy look. The topstitched lapels, as well as the slightly sturdier material, offers the wearer to use the jacket as a blazer, a quality valuable for those who don’t have a chest full of gold to spend on workwear (or a separate blazer).
The shoulders are slightly more padded than your average suit jacket, which helps the supposed target group - skinny, trendy guys - to achieve a more masculine silhouette. This does however pose a problem for the slightly well build, as the padded shoulder will make their own shoulders pop out more visibly along the sides. Clearly, this isn’t a suit that’s very forgiving.
The Aiko/Heise-suit is a model that’ll stick around for a while, and is usually available in many different qualities.
