This Italian hopsack is woven in a beautifully dimensional sage herringbone. A healthy dose of linen and silk in the mix gives it breathability and drape, balanced by the temperature-regulating properties of wool. And a slightly rustic yarn count keeps the fabric from feeling overly precious. An excellent year-round jacket. The Ghost is the blazer Sid's been wearing twice a week since it launched — one of “[his] favorite things we've ever made.” It’s totally unconstructed and stripped down 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 cleaner, 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.

This jacket comes unfinished, which means it needs to be tailored before you wear it! Specifically, the sleeves are unhemmed, without cut buttonholes, at the time of purchase. Your local tailor can hem them to your perfect length and attach the buttons (we include six — three for each sleeve — in the pocket of the jacket.) If you’re near one of our stores, our in-house tailors can also take care of this.
