On the Street.... Gianluca Bocache, Rome
Finally I found A great mens shop in Rome!Run by Gianluca Bocache (above) and Andrea Luparelli, the shop is super chic and specializes in custom suits and shoes. I hate to admit it but I always judge a shop by the owners and these guys are cool. I love a peak lapel suit, however the question is always one or two-button. I always go peak with one-button but I'm swayed by Gianluca's two-button swagger.
Unfortuneately my shooting schedule in Rome was so tight (made worse by the never ending rain) I wasn't able to shoot the shop but it will give me a reason to return to Rome asap.
If you find yourself in the Eternal City here is their shop info.

A million guys running around in Rome or Milan or Florence look like this, but a nice sight it is indeed! The classic Italian man.
This is a very chic look!

very dapper!

Very italian style.. Loving the navy with pinstripe
LOx
Rare (sadly) are the times I have a "WOW" moment when I see clothing these days. But I have to say, this guy's suit coat is one of them.
That stunning blue (with white pinstripes) against his black hair, dark eyes and black tie with a white shirt. WOW. Fantastic, great-looking without being "over the top" like so many styles.

he's very suave.
what a gentleman.
http://vindavindasonata.blogspot.com/
Never underestimate the power of a well-tailored suit.
I hope you found yourself a good suit. I like the color the silk handkerchief brings to the photo xxx
http://reallyliteral.blogspot.com/
I noticed that his shoulder appears to be rimpled, is this for design? Or is that just how it breaks in? Either way it looks good.
Nice but there are tucks in the head of the sleeve!
How very Don Draper... Charming!
very Italian... love the two bottons!
http://sweetlittleconfessions.blogspot.com/
I had no idea it would be difficult to find a great men's shop in Rome.
The epitome of class in a man.
che bello!!
So elegant! Tipical Italian style!
In some case two bottons is better than one!!!!!

yay! Andrea and Gianluca are the coolest guys ever! I'm hoping to go back to ripense to get a suit and pair of shoes made, their double breast cuts are to die for
great class!!
handsome guy.
spalla camicia.
That's Style!
Interesting how a man who obviously is so aware of his looks can project such a humble attitude.
Before I read the title I knew he was italian. How gorgeous & chic can they look!? Mamma mia :)
Great picture, such a gentleman.

This is so Mad Men! That show has great style and wardrobe, and looks like he does too! : )
now i know where i'm gonna buy my dad's Christmas presents!
love that look!
this is what i call STYLE!
http://fleaforfashion.blogspot.com/
I would buy a suit from him.. the shoes too.
My gosh!!
DO men like this exist!!!??
Certainly they do and if I were a man I woud dress like him.
Lovely pic!!!
Love that pochette!!
http://fashiondoesntexist.blogspot.com/
This idea of a double breasted lapel on a single breasted jacket still doesn't work for me... trying too hard comes to mind.
Loving the cut-away collar on the shirt and the sharp tie - nice work.
There is a reason men should keep their hands out of their pockets.
Sweet face, but the look is nothing special. Except for the pocket square that is playfully, not square.
dashing. absolutely gorgeous.

wow, nice pr...

SEMPLICEMENTE PERFETTO !
Che abito stupendo ! Bravissimi !

So refreshing to see a properly hand-tailored shoulder and sleeve.
Sigh......so handsome.
I never comment on your site, but hot damn!! he is damn good looking!
I had a suit like this in '77, but it was a navy pinstripe. I like the idea of a peak lapel on a single-breasted jacket, but only for certain really dressy occasions. This guy cuts quite the bella figura - kind of an Italian James Bond. The spread of the collar, and the width of the tie - looks like 3.75" - are perfectly proportioned with the lapels.
Oh!? There's a suit in this picture?
this is ITALIAN STYLE
so sharp, glad you finally have pictures from Rome!
Rome again please!
This guy is a dead ringer for Cary Grant.
No better advertising for this shop. I want to visit it. Cool pics.
Only 84 comments??? What's with you people?
This guy looks fantastic!
A mustache would look good on this guy, I think.
he's fabulous. plus, gianluca is the name of my favorite restauranter in roma. owns "da michele" on via merulana. you must go next time you're in rome..
Dear Number Two: Your navy tie is melting my heart.
as usually too elegant...the really curious thing is that usually Gian Luca is more elegant than in this pic....who knows the sartoria ripense and bought a suit there....will never change anymore tailor and, above all, made-to-mesure shoes made by shoemakers Bocache & Salvucci.... it is without doubt the best tailor in Rome
M.B.P.B.
HOT! :)
www.linejacqueline.blogspot.com
Italians do it better! (...especially the Romans ;))
He looks amazing!
This man is gorgeous! I am partial to beards but not as partial as a man wearing a suit. I LOVE a man in a suit. Yet alone, a stunningly handsome Italian in a beautiful suit... thump, thump, thump!
Your pictures are simply stunning.
That dusty blue suit matched with the navy tie is striking.
I love Milan! The man above.
This gentleman is to young to dress likt this!
