Informal Jacket: the relaxed alternative

Last week, we explored the jacket in all its versatile combinations . Today, we'll show you how informal jackets can make the look even more relaxed.

A hybrid between a suit jacket, worker jacket, and overshirt, the Informal Jacket combines lightness and elegance. With its loose, unlined structure and soft shoulders, it's a more relaxed alternative to the waistcoat. Less structured and pleasantly lightweight, it offers freedom of movement for everyday wear and business. Its materials—from wool and cotton blends to linen—adapt to every season.

This jacket is the perfect companion for smart combinations: With wool trousers, it looks classically elegant, while with chinos or jeans, it looks relaxed. Subtle details like natural buttons and casual patterns like glen check or gingham complete the look, making the Informal Jacket the ideal choice for sophisticated casual and business looks.

PS: All the looks shown are individually made for you – from informal jackets and trousers in every imaginable fabric to sneakers according to your wishes.
