As elegant as casual gets, our Madison Suit Jacket represents the epitome of soft tailoring. Both easy-wearing and sharp, it's what the Italian courtier, diplomat, and author Baldassare Castiglione must have had in mind when he coined the term sprezzatura to describe effortless nonchalance. It's crafted from a wool Donegal herringbone made by the experts at Sondrio — it combines the unique flecks of the former with the classic pattern of the latter; think of it as a more polished take on tweed. It has a classic fit, with a natural shoulder and a slightly nipped-in waist. Details include a double vent in the back and a lightweight butterfly lining. There's also a chest pocket known as a barchetta (Italian for "little boat") because the sleek curvature of the pocket resembles a small skiff. Tucked away in the heart of the Alps, the family-run Tessuti di Sondrio mill was founded in 1895 and is one of Italy's most revered cotton fabric weavers.
