The High-Waist Compatible Jacket

If most of your trousers are fitted with a mid or high-rise waistband, then having a jacket that complements that shape is essential. Extra versatility points if it’s in an easy-to-style neutral colour. 

The Soft Shoulder Jacket is crafted from a wool-blend Italian tweed that has a textured, bouclé-like surface and just the right balance of softness and structure. It’s the considered proportions that really give this piece its style up or down potential. Exaggerated lapels highlight the clean shoulder line, while darted seams around the waist give a neat, fitted look that finishes at just the right length to complement high-waist trouser waistbands. 

 

The Sharp Shoulder Blazer

As tailoring obsessives, we’ll never tire of singing the praises of a great blazer, especially our signature Sharp Shoulder silhouette. And good news, once you’ve secured the perfect blazer in your line-up, you’ll always have an instant outfit elevator to hand. 

This season, a pinstripe blazer is the ultimate representation of how we do contemporary suiting. The perfectly balanced fitted silhouette of our Sharp Shoulder Blazer is available in Olive with classic white stripes or Chocolate + Chestnut. This cut is characterised by structured, padded shoulders and a single-breasted fit, before falling to a top-of-the-thighs finish to sit just above the pleats of the matching tailored trousers.

The All Seasons Trench

It doesn’t get much more timeless than a trench coat. And since we know it will be one of the hardest-working jackets in your repertoire, we put extra thought into the features that will extend the wear window of our latest style.  

The Soft Shoulder Trench is made from a wool-blend tailoring fabric that’s heavier than classic gabardine but lighter than traditional coating material, giving it the perfect amount of weight so it hangs fluidly, yet holds its shape. Softly padded shoulders add structure and room for layers when you need it, but also mean this style works just as well over a light tee or blouse.

The Intelligent Oversized

If more androgynous suiting is more your speed, our signature Intelligent Oversized blazer is just the ticket. It’s cleverly scaled to deliver an oversized look that doesn’t overwhelm the figure. Think a boxy fit but with a slightly shorter hem length, and internal elastic cuffs so scrunched-up sleeves stay in place. 

For such a staple style, it’s essential to have a classic black version. And for the new season, we’ve created a distinctly autumnal option in wool-blend tailoring fabric in charcoal grey, elevated with Dijon Yellow pinstripes. 

The Heritage Jacket

Getting the right balance between contemporary and timeless is an enduring undercurrent of our collections. Choosing a jacket that has a heritage edge, like our signature Military Jacket, is a great way to inject a touch of personality into your rotation, while still enjoying a classic look.

In a choice between statement red or classic black, this season’s Military Jacket is made from Italian wool twill that has a brushed surface. Buttoned flap pockets give a classic utilitarian look, while contoured back seams give a soft curve at the waist. Wear the collar upturned to reveal the gold thread stripes inspired by traditional aiguillette embroidery. 

For heritage meets modern countryside verve, look to our Fitted Military Jacket in Chestnut. It’s crafted from a mixed-fibre blend that includes wool, viscose and touches of silk for a uniquely soft yet structured outerwear fabric, and the sleeve linings are stretch-infused for added comfort.

The Luxe Leather

When you think of a leather jacket, it doesn’t have to be a classic biker. In fact, once you delve into the luxe world of leather outerwear, the door opens to plush shearling, supple suede and nubuck. Whatever your texture choice, it’s a timeless addition to your jacket edit. 

The common theme throughout all our leather outerwear, from blazers to studded jackets to fluffy shearling, is choosing a versatile colour like an earthy neutral or a rich autumnal tone. That way you know it will style seamlessly with your existing pieces, assuring a return on your investment for seasons to come.
