Description

A blazer knitted rather than cut and sewn: 70% wool in a cashmere blend, handmade, soft to the hand and with a drape a woven jacket never has. It holds a shoulder line without any padding in it.

It is the most expensive thing in the shop and the one that will still be in rotation in five years.

The fabric

Seventy per cent wool, blended with cashmere, knitted by hand. Collarless with a clean V-neck, which leaves room for whatever is underneath — a shirt collar, a chain, a polo neck.

How it fits

Chest 42 inches, length 26 inches, sized L. Cut to sit open rather than to fasten, so the fit is forgiving across the back.

Looking after it

Cold hand wash or a wool cycle, and dry it flat rather than on a hanger – a knit this weight will stretch at the shoulders in a season if you hang it wet. Fold it to store. A cool iron under a cloth if the hem needs settling, never directly on the rib.

For petite clothes for work a knit blazer solves the sleeve problem a structured jacket creates, and as a korean fashion jacket it is the quietest piece we have — the korean fashion winter layer you keep.

Why we took this one

The most expensive thing in the shop and the one still in rotation in five years. Seventy per cent wool, handmade, and it holds a shoulder line without a scrap of padding.

Sixty-eight dollars is the most we ask for anything, and it buys seventy per cent wool and a pair of hands rather than a factory setting. A blazer is usually the first thing a petite wardrobe has altered and the thing most often abandoned afterwards. Knitting it instead removes the alteration entirely, which is why it is still being worn in five years.

Three ways to wear it

  • Work — over a white shirt and straight trousers.
  • Weekend — over a tee and jeans, which is where a knit blazer beats a structured one.
  • Evening — over a slip dress, with the sleeves pushed up.

Before you order

Seventy per cent wool and handmade: treat it as knitwear, not as a jacket — cold hand wash, dried flat, folded rather than hung, or the shoulders will drop within a season. For petite clothes for work a korean fashion jacket in knit solves the sleeve problem a structured one creates.
