Virgil No. 4 Jacket Oat/Slate/Olive Check Flannel

This checked flannel comes from one of the UK's best tailoring mills — they've been producing fabric in England since 1772 and are officially credited with the invention of wool flannel. Straight from the source. The pattern here is an elegant, balanced check that plays nicely with the soft, brushed surface of the wool, which gives it an almost blurred effect. The construction is special, too — our No. 4 make is almost fully handmade, which means more time passing through our Neapolitan tailors' hands. In fact, each piece requires a full ten hours’ worth of tailoring before it leaves the workshop. The shoulder, lining, darts, buttonholes, buttons, and several other elements are sewn by hand, and you can feel it when you put it on. It’s almost like the seams move with you. It's made up 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. It even hooks up to a matching pair of trousers, so you can wear both pieces together as a full handmade suit.
