Double face cashmere from Loro Piana — two faces of cloth joined by hand, with nothing in between. No lining, no interfacing. That is where the lightness comes from, and the warmth with it: the jacket weighs almost nothing on the shoulder and holds its line all the same.
The embroidery is worked by hand in wool thread, across the back yoke and again on the front panel. A climbing floral motif, stitched one stem at a time — which is why no two pieces come out quite alike.
The collar is auction mink from Saga Furs, and it lifts away entirely. Without it, a soft grey jacket for an ordinary day. With it, something for the evening.
