Featherweight Blazer

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.

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 roll 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.

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.
