Italian Linen Stripe Regatta Jacket

Any heritage worth its salt comes with a few quirks.

To join the Cambridge Archetypals, legend says you have to meet three requirements: row in the Oxford-Cambridge boat race, get a third in your university degree (a fail, effectively), and spend three nights in Cambridge jail.

Our right-to-wear requirements are much simpler.

Same implied pedigree. Still legendary.

o Italian Linen Stripe Regatta Jacket (No. 7230). Heavyweight broad stripe linen jacket in premium cotton twill from famed Italian mill Zanieri. Less a blazer than a chore coat but with its sartorial style is perfectly suited to the next regatta. Two exterior mitred patch pockets with reinforced hand entries. One interior parch pocket. Distressed metal buttons. Unlined. Button cuffs. Trapunto stitching at collar band (the original method of reinforcing and creating structure for integral parts of a garment before interfacing was invented). Flat-felled seams and double-needle stitching. Imported.
