Elegance and Depth of The Midnight Brown Cashmere
As a textile, cashmere is the embodiment of what we wanted to create the Lazyman Jacket to be within its spirit. One may say then that this combination is a merging of two of the same – the Lazyman Jacket in its truest form.
It was our aim to create something that was soft, supple, drape gracefully over the body and in effect, be a jacket-cardigan hybrid. It is this essence of the Lazyman Jacket that allows the cashmere to contour itself to the silhouette of the wearers body. It means these grooves and the beautiful drape from the cashmere gifts the wearer the elegance that a well-worn piece imbues. All whilst keeping them delightfully warm to boot!
Worn here with a red turtleneck, our Lazyman Jacket in the midnight brown cashmere is the perfect companion for this cold, wintery season. It’s great on its own during the milder, yet colder-winded afternoons and perfect as a layering piece on those crisper, winter mornings.
Using red as layer, like we have here, with any item of brown clothing allows for an enhancement to the colour’s richness and depth. It’s due to its inherent makeup upon the artist’s palette that results in this. One mixes red, yellow and blue to create that beautiful warmth and fullness of the colour brown which we have all come to know and adore – especially during the autumn and winter months when we yearn for not only warmer clothing, but warmer tones. It’s thanks to this then, that when paired with red (or even a cooler light blue or vivid yellow) a much deeper and richer texture is achieved – not only to the colour but to the fabric; almost as if one can perceive the colour beneath it.
Another priority for us was the maximisation of experience for the Anthologist, and what better way to experience the beauty and richness of the this cashmere than through something that due to its unconstructed nature meant that it could be felt in a much closer, more intimate way.
100% Cashmere
Designed with our modus operandi in mind: comfort is the modern luxury. The use of fabrication for this Lazyman Jacket amalgamates luxury with functionality to its greatest extent.
The Lazyman Jacket is The Anthology’s signature product — an unconstructed jacket made for the modern man. It is designed to be worn just like your normal blazer or sport jacket. The product features 3 functional pockets, rollable sleeves and adjustable side tabs at the back.
This is a deadstock piece curated from the archive of one of the leading cashmere weavers in Yorkshire, also home of the fabled Escorial wool. Apart from the highest quality that makes the allure of the piece, it is also the unique colouring that we find unusual - a deep, pitch-dark brown that is nearly adjacent to black. This divine piece slides off the finger when being handled. We consider this a blanket piece that can drape over the body as a step down of tailoring, in other words, a sport jacket alternative. The overall look is subtle and modest, but the wearing experience is superior. Right up your alley if 'quiet opulence' is your kind of thing, this will be the one.
Pair this with: knitted sweater in black, Pleated trousers inforest green,deep charcoal or any Civilman Trousers.
