Charcoal Tropical Wool Tailored Jacket

A single-breasted charcoal jacket cut from a high-twist tropical merino, made in Italy for warm-weather tailoring. It belongs to the house's tailored line, which is cut closer and more shaped than its Games jackets. Leaving the body unlined and using a half-canvas keeps it light, and the soft natural shoulder suits wearing it as an odd jacket with trousers in a contrasting cloth.

Reda Charcoal Wool Hopsack Bedford Jacket

We could not get a true tropical plain weave in charcoal, so we chose a Reda merino hopsack. It is the closest open, breathable worsted in the same solid dark grey, though its basket weave shows more surface texture. We matched the construction: soft half-canvas, unlined body, a two-button notch lapel, patch pockets, dark brown horn buttons and four non-working buttons at the cuff. We set the cuff buttons to kiss and added side vents. The order does not list a ticket pocket.

An S110s merino hopsack woven by Reda in Italy, weighing about 270 g. Its open basket weave in solid charcoal grey has a visible texture that lets air through. Merino of this weight works across most of the year and keeps its shape well.
