" For Italian men, the thought of pulling on a nylon anorak in inclement weather goes against all sense and taste. They will tell you that not even a snowstorm should get in the way of maintaining bella figura, the fine and masculine art of showing good face. Which is perhaps the reason Loro Piana&amp;#039;s Storm System was invented. Better known for its exquisite cashmeres, the venerable clothier leaped firmly out of its comfort zone in 1994 with a wind- and water-resistant system that allows wool to breathe while insulating it. A microscopic membrane is laminated to the back of the fabric after weaving, then a water repellent is added to its face once the coat is finished. But that&amp;#039;s just the science, even if it is clever science. The magic lies in the fact that the treated cloth still feels like cashmere--like Loro Piana cashmere at that. This season, the company has created a new version of its Kitz down jacket in baby cashmere, a fiber combed from the underbellies of three-to-twelve-month-old goats. It&amp;#039;s so fine that it takes nineteen of them to make one sweater. $3,250; loropiana.com. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
