Taupe Cotton-Linen Canvas Jacket - Luzio

Laid-back tailoring, cut in taupe, with a canvas surface that has visible grain instead of a flat finish.

The cloth is a premium cotton and linen blend woven in Italy by Tessuti di Sondrio. That mix is what makes the jacket breathable and light in the hand, and the natural texture of the two fibres together gives the taupe its subtle depth. Half-lined construction keeps the weight down, a classic notch lapel keeps the shape familiar, and patch pockets rather than flaps set the register: this is a jacket meant to look relaxed.

Patch pockets are the tell, and they are the reason it never reads as half of a business suit. Wear it open over a shirt, or with a plain layer under it when the evening turns. Taupe sits comfortably beside almost anything, so darker trousers or something equally pale will work under it. Effortless is the whole brief here.
