High Summer Coastal/Tropical Sanctuary
Our range of bespoke to ready-to-wear sports jackets and suit jackets have always adhered to the softer aesthetics, with mostly none or minimal padding, light canvassed although applied throughout the main body. The Lazyman Jacket is completely unconstructed, usually interpreted as a cardigan-jacket hybrid. Some say it wears like a sweater, except that they borrow the lapel and buttons from a tailoring jacket. The Featherweight Blazer is our latest creation, undisputedly retaining the silhouette and details of our usual sport jacket while eschewing the traditional full canvas construction to create something different.
Japanese Towelling Cloth, 80% Cotton 20% Polyamide
As part of The Anthology’s resortwear series, this is a riviera-themed popover with a vintage but modern styling.
Having functionality in mind, we envision this piece to be worn loosely, casually before and after a swim. Hence, no buttons or fastenings are needed around the neck to keep it the simplest possible. The devil in detail lies upon the hand-attached collar-piece. It is the only way to avoid collars from looking distorted when working with such soft towelling cloth. It is also a crucial hand-done procedure to ensure a beautifully laid-out open-collared look once popped over.
Piped with a cushioned layer around the seams, also the end of the sleeves and the main body, the meticulous detailing offers a drapey yet lazy feel, also full-bodied, with better definition. To further compliment the holiday at ease feel to it, we specially fitted a fuller chest drape along with extended shoulders/dropped shoulder seams, also a straighter hem for a slightly boxier and fuller-bodied look. The ensemble adds up as a completion to the whole ‘Lazyman’ look by default.
High split gussets are added on both ends of the garment for more action-friendly hand and pocket movements.
Pair this with: white/cream, green or navy. Perfect for the beach paired with drawstring trousers, shorts or swimming trunks. Finish off the look with your Panama hat, French espadrilles and your favourite pair of sunnies.
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only
Also available in toy poodle and cloud white

Designed for comfort and wearability, the Featherweight Blazer features agility and unstructured comfort — sportier in look, lighter in construction, easy to pack for travel. While almost every other unconstructed jacket out there forgoes canvassing entirely, this is where we strive to make a difference as we stay true to our tailoring roots. Incessant developments since yesteryears, the Featherweight Jacket insists on minimal canvassing, with only a reduced, angular cut of body canvas. Starting from the shoulder point, then drawn all the way to the lapel, the specially cut canvas retains the unmissable lapel enrollment a well-crafted tailored jacket should be endowed. We deem the perseverance of craftsmanship of a respectful humanist sport jacket as we fathom the value of fine craft and longevity. Going unconstructed gives no excuse to cutting corners on the make and thoughtfulness, hence the quest for a solution. As passionate crafters and designers, we see no grounds for complacency and would not want our Anthologists to walk out of ours with a garment of unjustified compromise.
The Featherweight Blazer prefixes to be a jacket that combines the attributes of the cloth with the new construction of the jacket, ensuring the best functional and aesthetic outcome is best represented.
65% Cotton, 35% Linen
Long, but right before your knees, keeping your proportions right, also exemplifying pleated perfection.
If a pair of shorts go too long, covering one's knees, it makes one looks short. If the shorts are done too short and timid, it would look more like a pair of swim trunks, or worse, boxers. This artefact is all about striking the perfect balance, and we managed to find the unrivalled solution.
As part of The Anthology’s resortwear series, this is a ‘modern-vintage’ design made in a cotton/linen blend as a quintessential item, suitable to wear on the beach, the city, or even an excursion.
The form of the shorts is the true essence — it embodies chic and comfort. With practicality in mind, the design comes with slight volume around the thigh and the opening, ensuring the piece to be generous around the thigh part, allows ventilation.
The use of cloth is also the highlight. Cotton as the major constituent upholds a supple and moist look to the general garment, smoothens up linen’s characteristically dry and crisp handle. It also offers a more structural body, making creases look less wrinkly. The appeal is reminiscent of traditional preppy or English country chinos, just with an extra touch of linen for a sense of modernity and practicalism.
Linen also serves a functional purpose as it possesses a quick-dry effect and ventilating property due to its looser weaving structure, allowing wearers to enjoy their best under the heat. It is also traditionally perceived as a luxurious fabrication.
(We recommend the shorts hem to end right before your knees, otherwise, bring it to your alteration tailor for a simple alteration for the best result.)

The first proposed version spotlights an open-weave wool/mohair hopsack for airing, a 'pore-like' mechanism like an organism's skin for advanced breathability and anti-crease property with a pure reliance on natural fibres only. Mohair is in the equation as a strengthened yarn to allow a fuller range of movement and durability, additionally a great absorbent of moisture. Aesthetically, it adds an extra touch of luxury by its understated sheen that deeply sinks into the navy. Trimmings also deliver a design language. The garment is styled with our elegantly thin edge-rimmed smoking black mother-of-pearl buttons to signify this as a sport jacket instead of a separated suit jacket. Three on the main body and the suggested one or three on each side of the sleeve. Each earthly sourced element silently sits in exquisitely with the dark navy showing no signs of deliberateness or the hoity-toity haughtiness.
Japanese Towelling Cloth, 80% Cotton 20% Polyamide
As part of The Anthology’s resortwear series, this is a riviera-themed popover with a vintage but modern styling.
Having functionality in mind, we envision this piece to be worn loosely, casually before and after a swim. Hence, no buttons or fastenings are needed around the neck to keep it the simplest possible. The devil in detail lies upon the hand-attached collar-piece. It is the only way to avoid collars from looking distorted when working with such soft towelling cloth. It is also a crucial hand-done procedure to ensure a beautifully laid-out open-collared look once popped over.
Piped with a cushioned layer around the seams, also the end of the sleeves and the main body, the meticulous detailing offers a drapey yet lazy feel, also full-bodied, with better definition. To further compliment the holiday at ease feel to it, we specially fitted a fuller chest drape along with extended shoulders/dropped shoulder seams, also a straighter hem for a slightly boxier and fuller-bodied look. The ensemble adds up as a completion to the whole ‘Lazyman’ look by default.
High split gussets are added on both ends of the garment for more action-friendly hand and pocket movements.
Pair this with: Khaki, tobacco, rust, and any other vibrant colors. Perfect for the beach paired with drawstring trousers, shorts or swimming trunks. Finish off the look with your Panama hat, French espadrilles and your favourite pair of sunnies.
