Motiv Relaxed Zoot Jacket Lin/Silk/Wool Charbrown

Motiv Relaxed Zoot Jacket Lin/Silk/Wool Charbrown, a relaxed fitting Zoot jacket reminiscent of 20th century tailoring and jazz musicians.

Developed with the best linen weavers in China, this classic sartorial recipe has been given a rugged twist, by using a delave linen in the warp and a combination of woollen yarn and tussah silk in the weft, this fabric develops a strong character after wash, while keeping elegant drape and shape.

Design: Inspired by the oversized “Zoot” suits, we took out the padding and softened the cut to create a far less stiff but equally audacious silhouette. Fitted with horn buttons. 

This style is very oversized and has a specific way of wearing. However, should you prefer a more "regular" fitting, I recommend you size down 1 or 2 from your usual size, e.g. normally you wear Medium, then Small or X-Small would be more fitted. Please contact us for extra info on how to wear or if you have more questions.
