Lardini Roma Tweed Check Jacket Brown

The Roma jacket in a brown check cloth with a tweedy surface. It combines herringbone, a zigzag weave that looks like the bones of a fish, with a glen check. Prince of Wales check, also called glen check, is a classic tailoring pattern of small checks grouped into larger squares.

It has two buttons, patch pockets and a soft shoulder, and the flower pin at the lapel is black, which suits this darker autumn cloth. Lardini, the family tailoring house from Filottrano in Italy, still creates, cuts and stitches its collections there.

A textured brown check is at its best from October to March. Wear it with grey flannel trousers and a cream roll-neck, or with the York jeans and the dark brown knit polo. It comes in sizes 44 to 54; take your usual jacket size.
