Todd loves the versatility of a shirt jacket; we call them “third pieces,” the kind of layer that’s rugged enough to serve as a coat, but light enough to wear inside. That flexibility is evident in the design: a fit that’s full enough to wear over anything from tees to sweaters, but classic shirting details — a clean hem, button-through chest pockets, and button cuffs. What makes this particular Shirt Jacket exceptionally unique is the fabric. It’s made by a mill in Italy’s Como region; at a glance, it looks like a dense, felted wool, but it actually has glass woven into it, which makes it reflect silver-white under light. Melamine buttons and a durable cotton Bemberg lining complete this rugged jacket.
This jacket is versatile and can be worn many different ways. The material does have a reflective characteristic but not so reflective it is obnoxious. I would highly recommend.
Wool is truly a miracle fabric, and this Italian milled version is the best of high-tech and traditional in terms of wear and functionality. The material breathes, glimmers, and is proof against chilly breezes. It's cut loosely enough to layer well, without at the same time admitting too many drafts when it's chilly out. It lost a star only because when I took mine out of the box, and for some time since, it's unbelievably stiff. My guess, however, is over time the garment will subtly mold itself to my frame and get a bit softer. Bottom line: you'll love this jacket!
