Luigi Borrelli Handmade Glen Check Jacket Brown Ecru

A handmade jacket in a brown and ecru glen check, single-breasted (one row of buttons). Glen check is a classic Scottish pattern in which small checks are grouped into larger squares. In brown and ecru it looks warm and calm.

The three-roll-two front has three buttons, but the lapel rolls softly over the top one, so it closes on the middle button. The jacket is tailored in Naples: the shoulder, collar, buttons and breast pocket are sewn by hand, as is every buttonhole, while machines are kept for the seams they make stronger. The soft shoulder has little padding, so it follows the natural line of your own shoulder instead of squaring it off. The partial lining leaves much of the back open, so the jacket is lighter and cooler than a fully lined one.

Wear it with brown or cream trousers and the light blue Oxford shirt, or over a fine roll-neck when evenings turn cool. It has a regular tailored fit; take your usual jacket size.
