Description
Half canvassed, which means the chest piece is stitched rather than fused. It costs more to make and it is the reason a jacket keeps its shape at the lapel roll after three years instead of bubbling. The shoulder is soft, with a thin sleeve head and no pad beyond a whisper of wadding.
Cut a little long and a little loose, to wear over a knit as easily as over a shirt. Two patch pockets and one welt at the chest, all of them functional. Sleeve buttons are set but not opened, so a tailor can shorten the sleeve from the cuff.

Relaxed. Take your usual size for the intended fit. Size down for a closer, more formal line — the shoulder will still sit correctly one size down on most people.

Flat measurements
Taken with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Bust, waist and hip are half measurements — double them to compare against your own body measurement. If you are between two sizes, the fit note above tells you which way we would go.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shoulder | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 |

| Length, back neck to hem | 75 | 76 | 77 | 78 | 79 | 80 |
Care
Dry clean only. Hang on a broad hanger, never on a wire one. Brush after wearing rather than cleaning after every wear — wool cleans itself with air.

Excellent jacket. Sleeves ran long for me at 162 cm, took them up 3 cm.

Camel that is actually camel and not mustard. Goes over everything.

The half canvas is not marketing. I had it altered and my tailor commented on the construction.
