Description
The formal end of what we make. Double breasted with a peak lapel, six buttons with two to fasten, and a waist that is genuinely suppressed rather than implied. The back is cut with a single vent deep enough to sit down in.
The cloth is a 260 gsm wool suiting with a very slight twill. Navy at this depth reads as a considered choice in a room, where black often reads as a default. Pairs with the Sylvie trousers in the same cloth.

Care
Dry clean only. Press with a cloth between the iron and the cloth if you press it at home — wool suiting shines under direct heat and the shine is permanent.

Beautiful cloth. It is a slim cut through the waist — I went up one size and it was right.

Wore it to a board interview. It does the job a good jacket is supposed to do, which is to stop being the thing anyone notices.
