A deconstructed jacket is the perfect investment as travel opens up
Stylish, multi-functional and smart enough to carry you from the airport lounge to the bar with a touch of elegance, much has been made lately of the impact that more casual suiting is having everywhere from the beachside bar to the red carpet. Guys worldwide are shirking clunky shoulders and uber-sleek cuts for a more laissez-faire approach, investing more in relaxed cotton and linen suits that are breezy, easy to dress up and down, and are practical enough to throw in any suitcase for a last-minute weekend away.
None of this is to say you can’t invest in a travel jacket that doesn’t fit you perfectly. Our team of tailors will see to it that it will. But the beauty of a piece like a travel-ready blazer is its versatility. Thanks to its lightweight nature, it lends itself to mixing and matching with other separates in your wardrobe to create a more diverse array of looks, whether it’s a pair of separate suit pants, jeans or even, as we’ve seen in recent fashion collections over the European summer, shorts and sneakers. This simply isn’t possible with heavyweight wool suits.
A travel jacket is also a passport to let your creativity shine a bit, and push the boundaries of the style you may have traditionally stuck with in the past. gives you more options to play with colours, patterns and accessories to complete your aesthetic. Want to go bold with a bright, summery colour, a new style of button or a big lapel? The world is your oyster, but you know the result will always be eye-catching.
