Description
Cut along the easy lines of a lounge jacket in silk or cotton velvet or fine wool, with a shawl collar and silk facings, the smoking jacket is for evenings at home, clubs and relaxed black tie.
Colour and trimming are yours: bottle green, burgundy, midnight blue and black are the classics. Shawl collar or peaked lapel, quilted or plain silk facings, frogging or covered buttons, and a lining to match — or deliberately not.

Fittings & Lead Times

Lead time is typically 8-12 weeks, depending on workshop capacity, fitting requirements and the date required.
