Unstructured Jacket Light Grey

An unstructured light grey jacket, described by Borrelli as a giacca destrutturata, with patch pockets and a partial lining. Built with minimal inner structure, it combines the ease of a cardigan with the polish of a tailored jacket.

Luigi Borrelli, the Neapolitan house that began with shirts and added tailoring under Fabio Borrelli from 1999, makes its jackets in Naples. The handwork is concentrated where it counts: the soft shoulder, the collar, the hand-sewn buttonholes and the breast pocket, with machine stitching reserved for the seams that need strength.

Because the structure is reduced to a minimum, the jacket follows the line of your shoulders and moves with you, and it travels far better than a classic blazer. Light grey is easy with navy, white and charcoal: try it with navy trousers and a white shirt, or with a fine roll-neck and grey flannels when the weather cools. The fit is regular and easy; take your usual jacket size.
