Smarten Up.

Somewhere along the way, the Italians discovered that an ultra-fine tropical merino wool in a hopsack weave works better than jute (not a shock).

Suddenly, navy blazers had more than just the polished elegance youd expect to see at Hyannis or Saville Rowthey had the added depth and texture of ruggedness.

Youll find this jacket intellectualizes your masculinity. Smartens up your jeans, chinos, and Madras shirts. More than suitable for work, weddings, and casual excursions that border on the disreputable.

Imported.
