The story

A tailored jacket from the middle of the 1960s in a warm tan tweed, woven with a fine check of rust and dark brown. The wool is springy and dense, the kind that keeps its shape for a lifetime. The lapels are padded by hand so they roll softly instead of lying flat, and the pockets are set with flaps that meet the check exactly. That kind of matching takes patience. It fits close through the body without feeling tight. Wear it over a white shirt with jeans, or over a black dress on a cool evening.
