重生的西服靈魂

延續了「Plain」帶來的樸質感，在融合經典的粉筆條紋之後，一如既往對於訂製西服的印象，成熟穩重的「Pinstripe」就是整個“Savile Row(紗蘿)”系列中最令人難忘的紙張了。在紙樣的附錄內，除了訂製西服的義大利師傅肖像以外，居然還附上了圖說的領帶打法（笑），右側的文字則是引用義大利作家“Abel Dufresne”於1826年的著作“Pensieri, massime e caratteri”中的一段話：「微不足道的人們才追逐放肆誇張的時尚，而良好的品味則來自於她本身的條件。」驕傲地表示義大利人對於時尚的定義。最後閒聊一下，所長在撰寫「Savile Row」系列文章，透過文獻的考究與探索其命名的淵源時，能夠確實感受到義大利人的浪漫但執著的天性，以及在歷史之下對時尚品味的驕傲，我想這也是紙張能夠帶來的其中一項魅力吧！

The Rebirth of the Suits’ Soul

With a combination of Plain’s simplicity and classic chalk stripes, Pinstripe is the most remarkable product out of Savile Row paper series, presenting a sense of maturity and staidness just like the impression of custom suits. Besides the photo of the Italian suit tailor, there is also a printed graphic tying instruction inside the paper sample’s appendix. The text printed on the right, meaning ‘ordinary people follow fashion, the presumptuous exaggerate it. People of good taste come to terms with it,’ is quoted from Italian author Abel Dufresne’s publication Pensieri, Massimo e characters in 1862. The quote proudly indicates how the Italians define the term ‘fashion’.

During my research for writing an introduction of Savile Row paper series, I could really feel the romantic yet persistent nature in Italian culture, as well as the fashion taste and pride embedded within Italian history. I believe that exploring the properties of papers and the cultural context behind the paper production is one of the charms that papers can give us.
