Virgin Wool and Cashmere

A jacket that belongs in solitude, and in conversation.

Lightly structured for the space between seasons. This jacket carries warmth without weight, worn over a shirt or sweater. A quilted interior gives gentle structure to an otherwise soft drape.

Designed in Toronto, Canada
Made in New York City
Virgin Wool from Pollone, Italy
Bemberg from Nobeoka City, Japan

Shell: 90% Virgin Wool, 10% Cashmere
Body and sleeve lining: 100% Cupro (Bemberg)
Insulating layer: 100% Polyester

Zipper-front closure, with two welt pockets secured by concealed zippers and one internal welt pocket.
A floating canvas through the chest allows the jacket to take shape with wear, while the quilted lining provides warmth without heavy internal structure.
The collar is supported by sewn-in interfacing, allowing it to hold its shape while moving naturally with the garment.
Generous seam allowances allow the fit to be adjusted over time.

The wool-and-cashmere cloth is woven in Pollone, Italy, by a family-run mill established in the 1700s.
The Bemberg cupro fibre is made in Nobeoka City, Japan; the insulating layer is quilted in northern Italy.
Each jacket is cut and assembled in New York City by a specialist workshop.

A soft, slightly dropped shoulder and straight body create a gentle drape, without waist suppression.
Cut with room to layer, the fit is relaxed. If you intend to wear it over a T-shirt or a light shirt and prefer a closer fit, we generally recommend one size smaller.
View the size guide for measurements by size, or contact us for private sizing guidance. We reply within 48 hours.

Dry clean only, and only when needed, using a specialist cleaner experienced with fine wool and tailored garments.
If the jacket needs adjustment or a minor repair, contact us. We recommend working with a local tailor you trust. An in-person fitting is generally the quickest and most precise route, and we will reimburse the cost.
