Features and categories
On Sale is not a product category: it is a cross-cutting selection spanning the Pier Paolo Marotta men's catalogue, from clothing to footwear and accessories. The label's composition matters most, and that composition is detailed below.
Outerwear, knitwear and sweatshirts
Jackets represent the largest group on the page, followed by knitwear and sweatshirts to complete cold-weather layering. Within the same product type, weight, construction, and cut vary significantly from brand to brand: fabric composition and fit should be reviewed on each item's product page, rather than inferred from the category name.
Trousers, denim, t-shirts and shirts
Trousers, denim, t-shirts, and shirts form the foundation of the wardrobe. Trousers feature models from Briglia 1949, while denim includes Edwin. These garments are selected for cut and shade ahead of brand, with the product page serving as the primary reference.
Footwear
Sneakers form the largest group, followed by loafers and boots. Sebago is featured with loafers and boots, Sperry with boots, and Premiata with sneakers. Dark brown, cognac, and black recur across the selection.
Accessories
Belts and hats lead the accessory selection, followed by socks, swimwear, and bags. Designed to complement an established wardrobe, they are chosen according to existing pieces: matching the shade of a shoe, jacket, or hat.
Brands and directions
By product volume, the most represented brands are Carhartt WIP, Chesapeake's, Sebago, Bl'ker Vintage, Alberto Luti, Universal Works, and Edwin. These are followed by Red Wing Shoes, Aiburai, Fortela, D.A.T.E., Puraai, Heskimo, and Armor-lux. The catalogue encompasses several directions: American workwear and heritage featuring Japanese denim from Edwin, alongside Carhartt WIP, Chesapeake's, Sebago, and Red Wing Shoes; British and European labels like Universal Works and Armor-lux; and premium-casual Italian craftsmanship from Bl'ker Vintage, Alberto Luti, Fortela, and Marotta.
What this collection includes
Many items are new arrivals for the current autumn season. Brands with the most new additions include Carhartt WIP, Sebago, Chesapeake's, Bl'ker Vintage, and Universal Works. For Edwin, Universal Works, Sperry, Briglia 1949, and Premiata, the selection consists exclusively of current-season items; for other brands, non-new items represent carryover styles or previous seasons.
Several models illustrate the selection: theAcadia Waxy Total Blackloafer by Sebago, theSawyer Dk Brownboot by the same brand, and theRegular Straight Japan Dark Used Bluedenim by Edwin. Footwear in dark shades and regular-cut denim.
How to choose
Starting by category is the quickest way to narrow down such a broad selection across apparel, footwear, and accessories. Jackets, knitwear, sweatshirts, and boots form the core for colder days, while trousers, denim, t-shirts, and shirts build the wardrobe foundation.
Next, size. In our Formia store, we recommend starting with your usual size within the same brand, as fit varies by maker. Sizing cues are often found in the model name itself: Regular Straight, for example, denotes a straight, regular fit.
Then, colours. Brown, cognac, black, navy, and military green recur across the page and combine effortlessly: starting with a brown shoe, such as theAcadia Dk Brown Gumloafer by Sebago, pairs naturally withPortobellotrousers by Briglia 1949 in Navy or Military.
Finally, price. Applicable prices are listed in the grid and on each product page. Ranges vary considerably across categories and brands: comparing similar items, such as two pairs of boots or two jackets, offers clearer insight than any average. Stock per model is limited, so checking size availability promptly is recommended once a suitable item is identified.
