This structured double-breasted peak lapel jacket combines classic tailoring with a modern edge, featuring an angular hem cut and a distinct herringbone stripe pattern that enhances its refined yet bold aesthetic. Designed with a tailored silhouette, this piece balances heritage menswear elements with contemporary styling, making it well-suited for formal and semi-formal occasions. The structured construction, sharp lapels, and precise detailing indicate a garment built for durability, elegance, and authority. As a men’s tailored double-breasted suit jacket, it features a waist-length cut with an angular hemline, structured shoulders with medium padding, and a formal yet commanding presence. The construction is either full-canvas or half-canvassed, ensuring structure and longevity. The lapels are pad-stitched to maintain crispness, while a double-breasted closure with two rows of buttons reinforces the jacket’s sophisticated appearance. Traditional tailor-sewn interfacing supports the chest area, providing shape retention, and the interior is fully lined with piped seams, reinforcing durability and comfort. The primary fabric is a wool, polyester & mohair blend, offering both natural resilience and structure. The herringbone stripe weave features alternating diagonal twill lines that create a sharp linear effect, adding depth and movement to the fabric. Weighing approximately 250-300 GSM, the fabric is substantial enough to provide structure without being overly heavy. The slight surface texture from the herringbone weave lends an air of refinement, while a subtle sheen enhances its polished finish. The material composition is 65% Wolle 25% Polyester 10% Mohair


y. The lining, viscose, ensures smoothness and comfort against the skin while allowing for ease of movement. Designed with durability in mind, the fabric construction is wrinkle-resistant and retains its shape well. Wool’s natural breathability and insulation properties make it comfortable across seasons, while the structured weave maintains the jacket’s tailored precision. The herringbone pattern is meticulously aligned along the seams, emphasizing the vertical structure and elongating the wearer’s frame. The technical construction of the jacket ensures precision and longevity. The peak lapels are carefully pad-stitched, retaining their sharpness over time. The double-breasted front closure features slightly off-center button positioning, modernizing the traditional silhouette. Back seam tailoring and darts reinforce the shape, creating a sculpted fit that enhances the wearer’s form. The fully lined interior facilitates layering over dress shirts or vests, maintaining both function and comfort. The fit is tailored to contour the chest and waist, providing a structured yet refined drape. The sleeves are set-in with a precisely tailored armhole, ensuring mobility while maintaining a clean silhouette. Moderate shoulder padding supports the jacket’s structure without excessive bulk, preserving its sharp form. Multi-panel construction optimizes shaping, with front darts enhancing the tailored aesthetic. The separate lapel and collar panels, reinforced with stitching, ensure longevity and crispness. The peak lapels are designed with extended angular tips, emphasizing the jacket’s authoritative presence. Interfaced and structured, they maintain a dimensional shape that holds against the contours of the chest. The sleeves, set-in for a tailored look, taper towards the cuffs, which feature non-functional buttons for a streamlined appearance. Seaming is reinforced with piped interior seams, ensuring long-term wearability and preventing fabric distortion. The back center seam and darts provide additional waist suppression, sculpting the overall fit. Technical features such as a fully lined interior improve ease of wear, while reinforced hems and cuffs with additional interfacing enhance durability. Piped welt pockets on the inside provide discreet storage, maintaining the jacket’s sleek appearance. The pattern complexity is high, given the need for precise herringbone stripe alignment and multi-panel construction. Edge finishing is executed with sharp precision, featuring bias-cut facings for a polished look. The classic tailored neckline, reinforced with interfacing, supports a well-proportioned collar that sits comfortably against a dress shirt or tie. Buttoned cuffs, along with a reinforced sleeve placket, add structure and refinement, while the angular hemline at the back introduces a subtle tailcoat-inspired element. The design draws strong inspiration from classic tailoring traditions, particularly from the 1920s to 1940s. The herringbone stripe pattern references traditional suiting fabrics, commonly seen in heritage menswear, while the structured peak lapels evoke a sense of power and authority. The jacket’s angular hem subtly nods to Edwardian and Art Deco tailoring, eras known for their emphasis on dramatic silhouettes and precision in construction. Rooted in European tailoring, particularly British and German suiting traditions, this design pays homage to the era when peak lapels symbolized dominance and formality. Today, the peak lapel remains a key feature in power dressing, frequently reinterpreted in high-fashion tailoring. This double-breasted peak lapel jacket exemplifies heritage tailoring with a contemporary sensibility, emphasizing structure, sharp pattern alignment, and a refined formal aesthetic. The herringbone weave adds depth to the design, while the crisp lapels reinforce its powerful silhouette. Premium construction techniques, fine wool fabric, and a fully lined interior solidify this garment as an example of high-end craftsmanship. The slightly tailcoat-inspired hemline introduces an avant-garde element, making it relevant for both classic menswear enthusiasts and modern individuals seeking a distinctive, tailored statement piece.
