Luigi Borrelli Unlined Melange Jacket Taupe

An unlined jacket in a taupe melange, where beige and grey tones mix into a soft, versatile neutral. Melange means the yarn mixes fibres in different shades, which gives the colour a subtle depth.

Unstructured means it is made without the stiff canvas and padding of a classic blazer, so it feels light and soft, almost like a shirt. It is unlined, so air moves freely and it stays cool on warm days. The jacket is tailored in Naples: the shoulder, collar, buttons and breast pocket are sewn by hand, while machines are kept for the seams they make stronger. Patch pockets, sewn onto the outside, give it a more relaxed look than pockets cut into the cloth.

Taupe sits easily between navy, white and brown: wear it with navy chinos and a white shirt, grey trousers and a blue polo, or dark jeans and suede loafers. The fit is regular and easy; take your usual jacket size.
