When an Odd Jacket Would Be Too Much


Consider the sweater jacket when a conventional odd jacket would be too much. Lounging about on the weekend, for example.

Dark peach Inis Meáin linen sweater jacket, in-need-of-pressing green thin wale corduroy trousers and Edward Green monkstrap shoes. The shirt was sewn by MyTailor from Simonnot-Godard's voile shirting that is not voile at all but a poplin with some substance to it.

The button placket not being straight, does that come with the aging of the knit?

One of your best looks Will!

I've wanted one of those sweater jackets for a long time, but it's difficult to find one in a color I would like.

Cardigan is most books.

Hugely versatile, probably why they end up with elbow patches.

They all look as Apparel Arts models.
