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. It's made of a beautiful checked English brushed twill in our Virgil model, which has a natural shoulder, a 3-roll-2 lapel, and a shorter body with no front darts at all. Think old-school 'sack jacket,' but sexier. It's got a slightly more American feel than the Kincaid or the Landry, but just like all of our tailored clothing, 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.
