A particularly special jacket made of Escorial wool, an elevated alternative to cashmere that comes from a super-rare type of sheep originally kept by Spanish royalty. Soft and supple, with springy, coiled fibers that naturally resist wrinkling, it’s sourced from the only direct descendants of the original Escorial flock, which are now bred in small pockets of Australia and New Zealand. Talk about special. And speaking of, this jacket is our No. 4 make, which means more handwork and more time in the tailor's lap... in fact, a full ten hours' worth. The shoulder, lining, darts, buttonholes, buttons, and more are all sewn by hand, which you can feel when you put it on. It's almost like the seams move with you. We built the Kincaid model with a soft (read: natural) shoulder, a 2-button front, and a shorter, darted body with some tracing to it, for a fit that's slimmish but never skinny. And while we always go for an American-Italian blend, the cut of this one leans a bit more sartoria than the rest. But just like all of our jackets, it's designed to take you from Mississippi to Milan, and back again, without looking out of place.
