Simple Jacket
After more than a year of development, we’re thrilled to introduce a brand new item to our seasonal offering. Cut and sewn completely by hand in the USA and meant to complement our shirts, the "Simple" Jacket represents our continued pursuit of heritage craftsmanship and quintessential GV taste.
Inspired by the understated elegance of the 1960s sack suit, we've reimagined the silhouette with thoughtful modern details, resulting in a garment that wears with the comfort of a shirt but carries the presence of a refined sport coat. It’s relaxed but intentional, designed to move seamlessly across occasions from casual mornings to polished evenings. Though this jacket feels like something Max Gitman himself might have worn 60 years ago, it fits just as effortlessly into the wardrobe of the modern man.
Each jacket is cut and sewn at our sister factory in Rochester, New York, a place where traditional tailoring techniques still guide every stitch. Established in 1899 and standing as the oldest tailoring house in the country, the craftsmanship here isn’t just skilled; it’s storied.
Rounding out this Simple Jacket is a USA-woven and RWS-certified 100% wool hopsack fabric. Milled with a breathable open weave, this fabric wears wonderfully from cool to warm temperatures, and drapes with an elegance that must be seen to be believed. Its hand is cool to the touch, and can be worn directly on the skin with a t-shirt or layered on top of our button-downs.

Characteristics:
One of the only American-made textiles we have ever worked with, this exceptional wool hopsack fabric is truly in a league of its own. For starters, its worsted wool yarns lend a soft yet cool-to-the-touch feel that wears just as well against the skin as it does layered on a long sleeved shirt. But unlike most woolen fabrics, this hopsack features an open weave for impressive breathability and enhanced temperature regulation. In tandem, its worsted yarns and open weave create structure and drape, welcome characteristics on any proper garment. It shrugs off wrinkles, flows with the body, and provides some diagonal stretch for freedom of movement. To wrap things up, RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certification guarantees prioritized wellbeing for the sheep, considered land management, and transparent supply chain traceability.
