Provenance
Fibre Source, Weaving
One of the most versatile natural fibres, 100% wool is celebrated for its warmth, durability, and natural breathability. The unique crimp of the fibres creates insulating air pockets, allowing the fabric to retain heat in cooler weather while remaining breathable and comfortable in warmer conditions. Naturally resilient and elastic, wool drapes beautifully and resists wrinkles, making it an enduringly practical choice. Its ability to absorb moisture without feeling damp also ensures comfort throughout the day. With its timeless appeal and superior performance, pure wool remains a benchmark of refined tailoring and everyday luxury.
Performance
Half-Canvas, Fully Lined, Soft Shoulders
This jacket is created with a half-canvas, which is a flat ‘skeleton-style’ layer of natural fibres woven together that lies between the inner and outer fabric of the body of the jacket. The half-canvas provides shape and structure, maintaining the jacket’s form through decades, if cared for properly.
This jacket is fully lined with Cupro Bemberg twill lining, 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, in which excess shoulder padding is stripped out much of the suit jacket’s heavy shoulder pads, this jacket features a 'soft shoulder' construction. 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.
