Checked Wool Blazer

A soft-tailored single-breasted blazer in a brushed wool blend, woven in a taupe ground with a two-tone check — fine navy lines crossed by a lighter cornflower blue. The construction is deliberately light: an unpadded, natural shoulder, a half-lined back and minimal canvassing, so the jacket sits on you the way a heavy shirt would rather than holding you upright. Two-button front, notch lapel, welted chest pocket and patch hip pockets, with four working-look buttons at each cuff and double side vents.

Cut close through the chest with a gentle waist suppression and a hip-length hem, it reads sharp buttoned and relaxed open. The check is scaled small enough to wear as a separate — over a plain crew tee or fine-gauge rollneck with dark trousers, which is exactly how it's shown — but has enough texture to carry a shirt and tie when the occasion asks. Dry clean only; hang it on a shaped hanger and steam rather than press to keep the lapel roll.
