Between major online retailers carrying the brand, outfitting Hollywood’s hunks, and Baroncini’s brick-and-mortar shop in San Marino, Ghiaia Cashmere is now a full-fledged ready-to-wear operation. Ghiaia Cashmere Cashmere Sweater Ghiaia Cashmere Wool Flannel Jacket One of Baroncini’s calling cards is his exceptional styling, which has captivated me—and much of the menswear world. (He had guys fiending for fisherman sandals last summer.)
