To celebrate its 15-year anniversary this September, B Corp certified Australian-owned menswear brand M.J. Bale has released a Spring 2024 collection that is a result of deep collaborations with Italy’s best weavers and makers.

The collection features a range of sculpted tailoring and accessories in linen-cotton, wool-silk-linen and wool fabrications that are woven in Piedmont and Lombardy, as well as rugged, vintage-inspired casuals in cotton-cashmere, that includes cotton trousers and shorts created in looser silhouettes. In July the brand began working with humanist-influenced tailoring workshop Lubiam in Mantua on limited edition blazers made from M.J. Bale’s world-first methane-reduced Kingston wool. The blazers are expected to be released early 2025.

The Spring 2024 collection features supple velvet jackets in new colours of cobalt blue, forest green, burgundy and graphite that are woven by Pontoglio 1883 in Pontoglio. From Tessuti di Sondrio in the Valtellina is a fresh three-piece 100% cotton suit in a summer-blue Prince of Wales check, as well as deconstructed, 100% linen double-breasted jackets in taupe and navy, a decon 100% linen black suit, and a stretch-cotton suit with peak lapels in rich forest green. These complement linen-cotton and wool-silk item blazers in light brown, mauve, buttery salmon and red with subtle patterns. Three new premium item blazers are woven by the Loro Piana textile mill in dusty pink, sage and grey check in a luxe wool-silk-linen fabric.

To keep the M.J. Bale man well-tailored but light on his feet this spring are linen-cotton suits in navy-light blue and green-white checks. Adding to the brand’s sizeable single-source Kingston wool collection is the Evandale suit in Tasman Sea blue with subtle windowpane check. The Evandale is woven into Super 150s cloth by centuries-old Vitale Barberis Canonico (VBC) in Piedmont from superfine merino wool grown entirely on Kingston farm in Tasmania. Also created from woollen cloth produced by VBC is a three-piece suit in a sky-blue Prince of Wales check with brown windowpane, and charcoal and navy suits – the latter with a subtle navy-on-navy check.

Rounding out tailoring are ties and accessories, woven in Lake Como from silk, wool-linen and linen, and handmade in both Puglia and Salerno.

Continuing to expand its casual range, M.J. Bale has released the pleated Marlon worker-inspired cotton chinos and pleated Minorca cotton shorts in wider, more relaxed silhouettes. Soft cotton-cashmere polos arrive in jacaranda, hazelnut, mint green and ivory colours, in addition to textured short-sleeve polos in cotton. Ivy League-style long-sleeve knit polos are made from 100% linen sourced from Normandy. Also new this season is a 1950s-era half-placket white cotton shirt. Rounding out the range are a range of print floral shirts, made from artwork produced exclusively for M.J. Bale in Paris and Barcelona.
