Heat Seeking Velvets

Director Wes Anderson has always loved the velvet jacket. So too Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Jay Z. Pulp frontman, Jarvis Cocker, is perennially partial to velvet, likening his style to a “slightly edgy geography teacher.” Oozing equal parts quirk and mojo, the velvet jacket is a versatile masterpiece.

Revolutionary Linen-Cotton Velvets

But if you thought you couldn’t wear velvet in spring or summer, think again. Our revolutionary new linen-cotton velvets, in the form of the Ziggy and Jude jackets, re-engineer the icon to be a summer-style staple. Woven in Italy from a linen-cotton blend into a plush ‘short pile ‘fabric, these jackets are tactile heaven & breathe effortlessly in the heat. Each garment is also washed after making, conveying a vintage look and feel. As part of our ‘decon’ (e.g.deconstructed) program, excess padding and structure have been stripped from the jacket. The result is an airy, weightless and tailored summer wingman.
