Bale 'decon' jacket, this garment is made with natural, unstructured shoulders and is stripped of internal padding to be lightweight and supple. Cut in a classic single-breasted silhouette to our Slim Fit, it is unlined and features a wide notch lapel.

    FEATURES

    Paired together, the Fresco Jacket and Fresco Trouser are considered US 'West Coast-style' tailoring. This is ironic, given the stretch-cotton cloth was woven in Italy by our friends at Tessuti di Sondrio. But the inference is true. This is a pared-back, minimalist-centric suit that you're probably more likely to wear with sneakers and a tee. It is woven from cotton with elastane added for flexbility and give.

    Performance

    Performance
    Half Canvas, Fully Lined , Soft Shoulders

    This jacket is created with a half-canvas, which is a 'floating’ layer of natural fibres stitched together between the inner and outer fabric of the jacket body. The half-canvas provides shape and structure, maintaining the jacket’s form through decades, when cared for properly.

    This jacket is fully lined, meaning it has a protective layer of fabric running from the top to bottom of the garment. The lining covers the jacket’s interior stitching, while adding structure to the suit.

    Much like traditional Neapolitan tailoring, which strips out much of the suit jacket’s heavy shoulder padding, this jacket features 'soft shoulders'. This benefits men with more athletic shoulders and those in warmer climates (i.e., Australia), making the jacket lighter and a more sympathetic wear in hot/humid conditions.
