One part refined, one part casual, our Simple Jacket reinterprets the understated elegance of the 1960s sack suit with tasteful GV updates. Unlined, unstructured, and cut to wear as an everyday piece, the Simple Jacket was designed to move with you, wherever you take it. Patch pockets, a notch lapel, and horn buttons maintain a sense of heritage pedigree all the while. 

Elevating this style is a remarkable mouliné fabric from Vitale Barberis Canonico, a storied woolen mill located in Italy's Piedmont region. For those unfamiliar, VBC is the oldest mill in the world, and has created superlative woolen fabrics since 1663. To say we're thrilled about this fabric is an understatement.

Woven with a blend of 87% wool, 8% silk, and 5% linen yarns, this is one of the most uniquely luxurious fabrics that we've ever worked with. Insulating from its wool, incredibly soft from its silk, and structured because of its linen, it performs just as well as it looks. This is a fabric for those seeking the very best in textile craftsmanship.

Like all of our Simple Jackets, this style was cut and sewn at our factory in Rochester, NY.

    Characteristics:

    Blended fabrics are always unique, but this is truly something special. Its composition of 80% wool, 8% silk, and 5% linen simply isn't common. Why? Because the yarns must be custom spun and dyed. Most mills don't have this capability, but the textile masters at Vitale Barberis Canonico do. In fact, VBC's milling process starts with raw fibers for every fabric they create. Shorn wool, raw linen, and silk are all washed, combed, spun, dyed and woven in-house, guaranteeing the highest level of quality at every step.
