When Prince Edward wore his classic check, little did he know that he would give a name to a pattern referred to now as Prince of Wales check. Although his era called for 100% wool, the Italians quickly adopted the style in one of their summer favorite materials, 100% Linen. Casual elegance at its best, with wrinkles and all. Our Italian Linen Blazers are tailored by our workshop with half-canvas construction using traditional horse hair and hand sewing of the interior, hand stitched finish in collar and closure of armhole, with genuine Tagua Nut (Corozo) buttons and a fully matched pattern throughout.
