During the many days of research and study we visited the Basic Village of the Boglione family. Obviously the brand of our interest is the evergreen Sebago.
The brand born in Maine but now 100% Italian owned and styled. With Andrea we let ourselves be guided into the future of the company and we looked at and above all touched the new collection.
The highlight remains the shoes, the product that made Sebago known throughout the world. The Portland moccasin is a true legend in the industry, capable of influencing the wearer’s mood and outfit. There are a thousand available colors, fabrics and leathers to choose from to make friends and customers happy.
Another footwear staple is the famous Penny Loafer (you know the story here) for both him and her. More classic and adapted with models for everyday life.
Sebago is slowly making progress in the sneakers sector. We have loved the John for years, a lightweight canvas shoe suitable for sailing trips or to take to your favorite vacation spots. It is useless to tell you why it is called that! Come on, use a little intuition, if it is missing we will help you with a photo.
In recent years, the company has fished out the Hurricane from the archives, called retro sailing because it is inspired by a classic model from the 80s. It is characterized by soft lines and an upper composed of 5 plastic eyelets. The toe cap and back heel are finished in suede, while the rest of the upper is in hammered full-grain leather. The tongue is in mesh. The model is customized with the Sebago logo in relief on the spoiler and the flag print.
It's okay to study shoes a little, but we are sick of clothes. And so we turned our heads and went straight for jackets, shirts and everything related to knitwear.
How beautiful is the Whaleback, a solid-color Oxford cotton shirt that combines timeless charm and Sebago graphic references. The button-down model was born on the polo fields at the end of the 19th century and over time became an icon for American campus students, English Mods and movie stars. Sebago offers it with a chest pocket, pleats on the sleeve and the inevitable hook on the back to conveniently hang the garment. The inside of the buttoning is decorated with the logo label.
Andrea gave us an exhaustive overview of all the beauty that the brand offers. This would be a very long discussion, but let's say a few words about the Boothbay, Sebago's iconic sweatshirt.
A perfect piece for the transitional wardrobe thanks to its classic and timeless style, this regular fit crew neck sweatshirt is ideal for leisure and active life. Made of brushed cotton - soft to the touch and pleasantly warm on the skin, it features a rib collar, cuffs and bottom hem, a rib V-shaped insert around the neck to prevent fraying over time, sweatband along the inside, an internal crescent, and a "Sebago Yacht Club" print on the chest. The Boothbay sweatshirt takes its name from what has been called the nautical capital of New England, Boothbay Harbour, a scenic vacation spot where you can enjoy quiet coves, rocky shores and island lighthouses as well as great hospitality.
What can we add? Sebago is a brand that knows how to give emotions while remaining consistent and linked to its past.
