I want a source for the cloud. That is my first question, and I am pleased to say the garment answers it, which is more than most garments manage.
Sergio Tacchini put these out as part of an Air Travel capsule and as a 60th anniversary edition, and the shapes embroidered low on the left leg are clouds — but the house's own line is that they nod to the tennis court net, and I raised an eyebrow at that until I looked properly at the way a net's white band scallops when it is slack. Fine.
Nuvola is Italian for cloud.
Conceded, and gracefully. The fabric is the house's signature velour, which is a cut-pile knit: loops are woven and then sheared, so what you touch is the cut ends of the fibre rather than a flat surface, and that is the entire reason velour feels the way it does.
It is plush and it is warm, and warm is not a neutral quality — do not buy these expecting a hot-weather trouser, because the same structure that makes them feel that good also holds heat. They come in Key Largo and Agave Green, with a matching Nuvola Velour jacket.
The ST logo is embroidered rather than printed.
Viborg is a town that rewards checking things. The cathedral was begun in 1130, and I would normally want documentation for a date like that, but the building itself is the documentation.
Inside, it is frescoed by Joakim Skovgaard, and the Skovgaard Museum is next door, which is a convenient arrangement I initially found suspicious and which turns out to be exactly as sensible as it sounds. There is a Dominican church that survived the thirteenth century intact.
And Sonderso lies below the cathedral ridge, which is where I would go to think about whether I was wrong about the net.
Cut pile, not flat weave. You are touching the ends of the fibre. That is checkable, and I checked.
