WIRED gives us an inside look at the original offices opened by Ferruccio Lamborghini back in 1963.

First Look | GANT Rugger Homerun Jacket for Fall 2011

First Look | GANT Rugger Homerun Jacket for Fall 2011Photography by Por Homme

I recently had the opportunity to stop in at GANT‘s West Village location on Bleecker Street. I was tipped off to the fact that though it’s not available online yet, the New York locations have taken limited stock of the label’s Homerun varsity jacket for Fall 2011. This one’s a killer, folks. If you thought last year’s offering was amazing, then we’re sure you’ll appreciate this one. It comes in bright red herringbone with cream leather sleeves. The shell’s broken in, too, as you’ll see marks and detailing on the sleeves that’s unique to each piece. It’s unlined and the fit is immaculate. I tried it on and instantly fell in love. You won’t see this jacket online for another two weeks but if you’re in the city, be sure to stop in and check it out. Leave a size Small for me though. Thanks.
