Description

A micro-check in black and white, cut long — past the hip, so the line runs uninterrupted from shoulder to thigh. Collarless and open at the neck, which leaves room for a blouse or a polo neck underneath.

There are no sleeves to shorten, which solves the blazer problem for anyone a structured jacket usually swamps.

The fabric

A woven check with a soft hand. The finishing is where the money went: the edges are lightly fringed rather than hemmed flat, and the patch pockets are trimmed in black ribbon with contrast buttons on them.

How it fits

Cut to a US medium, longline past the hip. It hangs open rather than fastening, so the fit across the back is forgiving.

Looking after it

Dry clean. Tweed holds its shape because of how it is woven and a machine wash takes that out of it permanently. Brush it down after wearing and air it rather than washing it at every outing.

For petite clothes for work it solves the problem of a blazer that swamps you, and it is one of the few statement pieces here that will go to a board meeting without comment — a korean fashion winter layer that is not a coat.

Why we took this one

There are no sleeves to shorten, which solves the blazer problem for anyone it usually swamps. The fringed edges and ribbon-trimmed pockets are where the money went.

A blazer is the garment a petite wardrobe has altered most often, and the sleeve is almost always the reason. Removing the sleeves removes the alteration — and gains a garment that works in July, when a jacket is unbearable and a room still expects one. That is unusual value for one piece of clothing.

Three ways to wear it

  • Office — over a white shirt and pressed trousers.
  • Weekend — over a polo neck and jeans.
  • Summer — on its own over a cami, where it does a jacket's job without a jacket's heat.

Before you order

Sized M, to a US 8–10, and cut long — it reaches the top of the thigh, which is what gives it a coat's authority rather than a waistcoat's. One garment doing two seasons is unusual: formality in summer, an extra layer over a knit in winter. Keep whatever is underneath plain; the plaid is the event. For petite clothes for work it adds a layer without adding a sleeve.
