When we first heard the news it was almost too good to be true; one of the new American menswear masters, Michael Bastian, was launching an exclusive line of suiting (plus shirts and ties) with Barneys to fill out the closets of his nine-to-fiver fans and beyond. We were even more stoked to get a first look at the line, which includes just about every suit or sportcoat a guy needs in his wardrobe, from a crisp business navy notch suit to a dove gray window pane sports jacket for some flair. Bastian assembled the collection of strong, but not strict, tailored pieces in a lookbook, above, giving gents a primer on how to rock the Barneys-exclusive goods together or paired with pieces from his main line. Reasonably priced at $1,495 for the two-piece suits, these are designer duds after all, the line is available at select Barneys locations and online right now at barneys.com. And in case you're one of those fans worried this is a one-off collabo, fear not, Basty and Barneys plan on sticking this one out for the long haul.
