Fibre Source

Known for its unparalleled softness and comfort, Merino wool is a high-performance fibre perfect for all seasons. It is breathable and moisture-wicking, transporting perspiration and moisture away from the body and towards the surface of the fabric. Linen, on the other hand is a vegetal product of the flax plant. Characterised by it's 'slubby' texture and brilliant breathability, it allows air to circulate and heat to dissipate, keeping you cool and comfortable in warm weather. And it is extremely strong and durable, capable of withstanding regular wear and tear. When compared to linen and wool silk has a natural lustre and sheen. Its also a strong and durable fibre that can withstand repeated wear and handling. When all three are woven together woven together, they achieve a harmonious balance: the soft texture and fantastic drape of wool is combined with the rough durability of linen, and the lustre of silk producing a sophisticated yet easy to wear fabric blend ideal for every well-dressed gentleman.

Half-Canvas, Fully Lined, Light Shoulder Padding

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.
