Experience the essence of Italian craftsmanship with this lightweight blazer made from Biella hopsack fabric. Known for its breathability and resistance to wrinkles, it features a unique unconstructed design, allowing for effortless style. With no lining or darts, and striking unlacquered brass buttons, this blazer offers a modern twist on classic tailoring. Perfectly paired with matching dress trousers, it’s an ideal choice for both formal and casual occasions.
From the brand: This is one of our very favorite hopsacks from Biella, a noted textile hotspot due to its alpine climate, the sheep population, and even the water quality. We call it Quattro for its 4ply construction (plied up in the warp
and
the weft,) its rustic 40s yarns, and, yeah, its Italian provenance. It's one of our go-tos for its strength, breathability, and resistance to wrinkling. A beautiful cloth for the simplest tailored piece we've got. The Ghost is the blazer Sid's been wearing twice a week since it launched. In fact, it's one of “[his] favorite things we've ever made.” It’s totally unconstructed and stripped down — like a more dressed-up Butcher, if you're keeping score at home — with no lining, no darts, pickstitched
spalla camicia
shirtsleeve construction, and these crazy, almost Surrealist-feeling buttons made of unlacquered brass. The pockets on the front are special, too: we designed them so that you can tuck in the flaps (without looking like you just tucked in the flaps) for a more open look. Fit-wise, it's slim but still easy, just like our other jackets. Slip it on (or take it off and hold it up to the light) and you'll see why we call it the Ghost... it's so lightweight that it feels like wearing nothing at all. Bonus: we made a pair of matching dress trousers, so you can wear both pieces together as a suit.
