Sid Mashburn
Ghost Blazer Lovat Wool Quattro Hopsack
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.
