Lardini Windowpane Check Jacket Ecru

An ecru jacket with a windowpane check, the open, airy pattern of fine lines that makes a light jacket look sharper and more tailored. A two-button front, patch pockets and the flower pin at the lapel buttonhole give it Lardini's signature finish.

The family company, set up in Filottrano in 1978 and run today by Luigi Lardini and his siblings, still creates, cuts and stitches its tailoring there. Lardini describes its jackets as structured yet soft, with light shoulders and precise, unrestricted fits, so a jacket like this feels comfortable from lunch until late in the evening.

It has a regular, lightly shaped fit with room for a knit underneath; take your usual size. A light windowpane jacket is the most useful piece for warm-weather occasions: wear it with navy trousers and a white shirt for weddings and garden parties, with white jeans and a navy knit polo for summer evenings, or with brown trousers to bring out the warmth of the ecru.
