The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in Milan
Picture a stylish man in a bespoke suit, adorned with a velvet bow tie and a matching pocket square, gliding through the historic streets of Milan on a vintage motorcycle. This is The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR)—the most dapper event of the year, where classic style meets the thrill of two wheels.
What is The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride?
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is an annual global event that celebrates style, camaraderie, and classic motorcycles. Originating as a tribute to vintage fashion and motorcycles, the DGR now takes place in over 600 cities worldwide, raising funds for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer research and suicide prevention via the Movember Foundation.
The DGR Milan 2018 Event
This year’s Milan ride attracted over 1,500 stylish participants, all donning their best bespoke suits and riding classic and vintage-inspired motorcycles. The event began at [insert location] and finished at the Spirit of Milan, where attendees were treated to a delightful outdoor reception, accompanied by live jazz and swing music—perfectly complementing the vintage atmosphere.
Together, the Milan chapter of the DGR raised more than €35,000 in support of men’s health initiatives, marking the event as a resounding success.
Serà Fine Silk’s Partnership with the DGR
We at Serà Fine Silk were honored to be part of such a meaningful event. In collaboration with this year’s local sponsors, Zenith and the Saville Club, we had the pleasure of outfitting the Saville Club’s team with our bow ties—perfectly matching their bespoke double-breasted vests and enhancing their elegant attire.
Many other gentlemen at the event were also seen sporting Serà Fine Silk accessories—velvet bow ties, silk pocket squares, and Italian scarves—demonstrating how our products perfectly complement a distinguished and classic look.
