Lardini Special Line Jacket Off-White

A plain off-white jacket from Lardini's Special Line, the line name the house uses for a range of its jackets and suits. Two buttons, patch pockets and the signature flower pin at the lapel make it a summer jacket with real presence.

Lardini, a family company that began by producing tailoring for other luxury houses, has been making its own menswear since 1993 and still creates, cuts and stitches its collections in Filottrano. Its jackets are built around a structured yet soft construction with light shoulders, which keeps a pale jacket like this looking neat rather than crumpled.

The Drop 7 Reg cut has a slim, shaped waist and a modern line. Off-white is a statement in the best sense: wear it with navy trousers and a light blue shirt for summer events, with brown flannel and a dark knit for contrast in autumn, or with white jeans and suede loafers on holiday.
