Fortela’s men’s fashion is a celebration of the excellence of Italian craftsmanship and timeless quality. Founded by Alessandro Squarzi, the brand stands out for its dedication to a traditional vintage esthetic that tells stories through each and every garment as they take on and pass – with flying colors – the test of time. Every Fortela creation is not merely clothing – it is a journey, an experience that underscores the importance of tradition and craftsmanship. Fortela’s men’s fashion is characterized by profound attention when it comes to the research involved prior to the creation of each garment. It is also renowned for the quality and details that characterize each Fortela product. They are the result of an Italian manufacturing process in which prized fabrics are worked by hand using traditional techniques that we bring back to life through each new creation. This commitment is reflected in our choice of materials, selected with care to guarantee resistance and comfort. Our collaboration with Manteco, a company famed for its sustainable approach to textile production, is further evidence of Fortela’s commitment to responsible, environmentally sound practices. The inspiration for Fortela’s men’s fashion is a classic, versatile foundation and spans a host of different cultures. The American influence is especially clear, as we range from Western to military styles, all the way to elegant day- and eveningwear. This allows us to offer a wide array of garments, including jackets, shirts, pants and accessories, each with its own distinctive character. The Fortela man is not caught up in trends that come and go – he prefers clothes that bring to mind style icons like Steve McQueen and John Kennedy. Our denim is a fine example – it is worked to faithfully replicate the legendary models of the 1950s and ’60s, with features like great wearability and the famed twisted side seams. Fortela is more than a fashion brand – it is a cultural journey that blends the excellence of Italian craftsmanship with the art of Japanese textile manufacturing. This combination translates into garments that are works of art in the truest sense, testimony to the in-depth research efforts led by Alessandro Squarzi. His personal archives and love for the vintage tradition lie at the heart of Fortela culture, which finds concrete expression in all our men’s fashion products. Another distinctive aspect of Fortela is our meticulous attention to detail. Fortela garments, one and all, are embellished with details that may go unnoticed by the crowd, but make all the difference in the world to the people wearing them. This quest for uniqueness is evident in our signature orange stitching, which comes off as a kind of drawing on the fabric, a symbol of the dedication and care that this brand puts into each of its creations. Fortela men’s fashion is revered for its capacity to spawn intimate and personal experiences for those that choose it. Each garment is conceived to tell a story, to convey a sense of belonging and identity. The care put into every detail, the vintage inspiration and the commitment to sustainability on the part of Fortela make each of its garments one of a kind – a storyteller that withstands the test of time. The brand’s mission is clear – to create clothes that are not only worn, but that can talk, recount, and live with the people wearing them.
