blazer
Late morning on the Ligurian coast. The cafe tables fill, the light comes off the water in pieces. A linen blazer carries the hour without trying. Soft in the shoulder, unlined, it moves the way the day does.
Linen Blazer · Natural
One jacket for the warm months.
A linen blazer is the piece that does the most for the least. It lifts a shirt and trousers into something considered, then lets go the moment the evening cools. No tie, no fuss, nothing that shouts.
Ours is cut to the same warm palette as the trousers and shirts, so the whole capsule moves together. Cognac, natural, olive. Pick one and it already works with what you own. Pick two and you stop thinking about it.

How it's built
Unlined. Soft in the shoulder.
No padding, no stiff canvas. Most jackets are built up with structure that holds a shape for you. This one is taken apart instead. The shoulder is soft and follows your own line, so it sits like a cardigan and reads like tailoring.
Unlined, so the linen breathes. Without a lining, air moves straight through the weave. On a warm afternoon that is the whole difference between wearing a jacket and enduring one.
It creases the way good linen should, and wears better for it. The first hour it looks pressed. By evening it looks lived in. Both are correct.
Anatomy
Six things to know.
01
The fabric
A dry, slubbed linen with real texture. It holds a shape without help and cools you as it goes.
02
The shoulder
Soft and unpadded. It follows your shoulder rather than building a new one, so nothing sits square or forced.
03
The lapel
A medium notch, rolled soft. Wide enough to look like tailoring, quiet enough to wear open at the neck.
04
Two buttons
Fasten the top one, leave the lower open. It shapes the waist without pulling, and comes undone the moment you sit.
05
The length
Cut to cover the seat and stop. Long enough to balance a trouser, short enough to keep the line light.
06
The colour
Three warm tones from the coast, made to sit beside cream, sand and navy without a second thought.
How to wear it
From late lunch to evening.
The daytime
Open collar, no tie.
Olive or natural over a white shirt, sleeves pushed once, a linen or grey trouser underneath. This is the version that works for a long lunch, a viewing, a walk that turns into a drink. Nothing about it is trying.
The evening
Cognac, as the light drops.
The warm tones come alive at the end of the day. Cognac over a cream shirt and darker trousers, brown leather on the feet. Dinner outside, the terrace still warm. You look put together without a jacket that says so.
The weekend
Over a knit, into the evening.
When the air turns, layer it over a fine knit instead of a shirt. Same jacket, softer register. It is the piece you reach for without deciding to, which is the point of owning one at all.
The fit
Soft, and true to size.
Take your usual jacket size. The cut is clean through the body with room to move, not slim and not boxy. Because there is no padding, it settles onto your own shoulder within a wear or two.
- SizingM to 2XL. If you are between sizes, the smaller one holds its shape better.
- ShoulderUnpadded. It should sit where your shoulder ends, not past it.
- LengthCovers the seat. Sleeve should show a half inch of shirt cuff.
Living with linen
It creases. Let it.
Linen wrinkles because it is linen. That softness is the whole appeal, and it reads as ease rather than mess. A few minutes on a hanger near steam takes out anything you do not want.
- HangGive it a hanger overnight and most of the day falls out on its own.
- PressCool iron with a cloth, or a pass of steam. Never hot and direct.
- StoreOn a wide hanger with room to breathe. Linen hates being crushed.
A jacket you forget you are wearing, until someone notices.
Questions
Good to know.
How should a linen blazer fit +
Take your usual jacket size. It is cut clean through the body with room to move. The shoulder is unpadded, so it should end where your own shoulder does, not sit past it. Between sizes, size down for a cleaner line.
Does linen crease, and does that matter +
It does, and it should. Linen softens and creases as you wear it, which is exactly why it looks relaxed rather than stiff. A night on a hanger or a pass of steam resets it whenever you want a cleaner look.
Can I wear it without a tie +
That is how it is meant to be worn. Open collar, top button of the jacket done, sleeves pushed once. A tie is welcome but never needed. The blazer carries the outfit on its own.
What can I wear it with +
All three colours are cut to the same warm palette as our trousers and shirts, so they sit beside cream, sand, grey and navy without effort. White shirt for day, cream shirt for evening, a fine knit when it cools.
What about returns +
You have 14 days to exchange the size or return it for a full refund. If the fit is not right, send it back and we will sort it.
