There's something about a plaid like this that makes you look like you know what you're doing. It's not just the… pattern, it's not just the rich colors, it's not even the luster and texture you get from the silk and linen in the mix. It's the way it all comes together. Anyway, it makes this a beautiful springtime jacket. The No. 2 jacket make is fully canvassed, with a lightweight, single-layer canvas that'll mold and meld to your body (in a sportier, easier way than our more structured Nos. 3, 4, or 5,) with pickstitched, spalla camicia shirtsleeve construction. And our Virgil model has a natural shoulder, a 3-roll-2 lapel, and a shorter body with no front darts at all. Think old-school 'sack suit,' but sexier. It's got a slightly more American feel than the Kincaid or the Landry. It's designed to take you from Mississippi to Manhattan to Milan without looking or feeling out of place.
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 eight — four 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.
