Once Galasso sees those changes are accepted, he will tinker some more, a process he calls ‘‘tradition in evolution.’’

Galasso’s collections are rooted in traditional styles, such as double-breasted suits and overcoats, and he typically combines British touches such as equestrian motifs with Italian flair and tailoring.

The latest collection mixes plaid, striped and checked patterns with velvet and shearling details and dandy bow ties. A plaid tuxedo jacket with velvet trim was worn over a classic V-neck sweater paired with a white shirt and a bow tie.

A rich royal blue suede jacket with gray shearling lining and cuffs was worn over a mix-matched plaid jacket and shirts. The combined looks were rich without being flashy.
