The cult-status jackets come from the collections of the authors, who are natives of Rome. This “eternal city,” universally defined as one of the largest “open-air sets” in the world, provides evocative backdrops for some of the pieces. In glamour poses shot off the usual tourist routes, 30 models-for-a-day put a distinctive spin on the jackets, mixing and matching them with rugged outfits. Part of the appeal of vintage military jackets is that each piece tells the story of the life it lived. This manifesto of post-WWII style encourages us to see its charms with new eyes.[AuthorName]By Mirko Di Giovanni and Andrea Ventura and Photographs by David Petrini[\/AuthorName][AuthorBio]\u003cstrong\u003eMirko Di Giovanni\u003c\/strong\u003e enlisted as a warrant officer in an Italian law enforcement\r\nagency and earned a law degree.
