The Racer Jacket is an unstructured jacket of our own design, based on vintage jackets of the 1940’s . As part of our Dayware range it is best suited for casual settings but still has first rate details such as the hand made button holes and single-needle stitching.
Made from a hearty Casentino wool, this jacket comes equipped with two front pockets featuring a cropped and casual fit. Casentino originated in the Tuscan town of the same name, where wool-making has been a tradition since the middle ages. Casentino’s distinctive look comes from little ringlets that fray off from the fabric’s surface. The effect looks a little like pilling, but is intentional, in order to make the wool both warmer and more durable. Designed to be long enough to cover the waistband of a trouser, but short in the style of denim or motorcycle jackets.
Our Racer Jacket fits small to size. We suggest choosing the next size up for our preferred fit. Our model wears a size 50 in our tailoring, and wears a size X-Large here.
