We spent years sourcing the right mill to recreate the fabric formerly known as leno weave, a special cotton/wool hopsack with a gutsy texture and a serious fanbase. (And while we were at it, we gave it a brand-new name: Monk's Cloth.) It's woven just for us in Portugal and it makes for a real 7-days-a-week kind of jacket. Even in green. The No. 2 make is fully canvassed, with a lightweight, single-layer canvas that'll mold and meld to your body, but in a sportier, easier way than our more structured Nos. 3, 4, or 5. And our Virgil model has a natural shoulder and a shorter body with no front darts at all. This particular one has a 2-button front vs. the usual 3-roll-2, but the vibe is still old-school 'sack jacket.' 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.
