Handmade Windowpane Jacket Ecru

A handmade jacket in ecru with a brown and red windowpane check, finished with patch pockets. The fine lines of the check give the light ground a warm, characterful look that stands out in the best way.

Luigi Borrelli calls it simply a handmade jacket, and the handwork sits where you feel it: the soft shoulder, the collar, the buttons and the breast pocket are sewn by hand in Naples, along with every buttonhole, while machines are kept for the tasks they do best. The house, rooted in a family shirt workshop, applies the same logic to its tailoring as to its shirts.

A light, patterned jacket like this turns a simple outfit into something considered. Wear it with brown or navy trousers and a white or light blue shirt, or with a navy knitted polo and suede loafers; the red in the windowpane picks up beautifully with a burgundy tie or pocket square. The fit is regular and tailored; take your usual jacket size.
