BIANCA JACKET BLACK VELVET

WHY WE LOVE THE Velvet Bianca Jacket When I moved to London as a teen, my father would often ring up late at night after he'd finished painting and ask if I wanted to meet him at a club somewhere. I always went. Sometimes we would encounter his friends, and I drank up the stories they told. There was a famous 1950's model called Fiona Campbell-Walters who married the billionaire Baron von Thyssen. One night she showed up at the chic Mayfair club Annabel's wearing a glamorous trouser suit. The dress code at the time forbade women entrance if they were wearing trousers. Without missing a beat, she slipped off the trousers revealing an amazing pair of legs, clad in sheer stockings, and sauntered in. Whether this story is entirely true, or an urban myth, I have never forgotten it's atmosphere. This picture of our girl Tumi (@tumininu.f.k_) owning the Bianca Tux suit made me think of that woman and how much fun can be had in a suit. The sartorial cool of Bianca Jagger. Italian plush velvet with wide lapels and patch pockets. Model is a size 8 wearing a size 8, height 5'9". THE FIT The Bianca Jacket is our double breasted offering, creating more of a looser fit on the body. The length of the jacket is long, but the shoulders are gently shaped down to the chest to create a more sensitive and female fit. Due to being double breasted, the Bianca jacket can feel oversized and slightly more statement. This style works well with the Bianca trouser for a more exaggerated look or our slimmer fit trousers for the everyday. You can find a guide to all our tailoring fits here
