Brown Checked Wool Cashmere Blazer

Empire cuts this blazer in a 95% wool and 5% cashmere cloth from the Lanificio di Pray mill in Italy, woven in a deep brown check that carries hints of navy, orange, black and grey. From across a room it reads as a solid brown jacket. Up close there is something to look at.

Soft construction, notch lapels, horn buttons and patch pockets, half lined so it wears light through a long day. The cashmere gives the surface a quiet hand that a straight wool jacket does not have. It works over a white dress shirt and tan loafers, and it works just as well over dark denim and a grey crew neck.
