KHAKI SAFARI JACKET IN LORO PIANA WOOL FABRIC

A JACKET functional AND CHARACTER

This safari jacket in Loro Piana virgin wool fabric is designed for the man who wants to move away from the traditional suit without compromising on style. Its deep khaki colour and four pockets give it instant character. It doesn’t set out to look like a city jacket, and that is precisely what makes it so interesting.

In summary,

This safari jacket combines the quality of Loro Piana fabric with a bold, utilitarian silhouette. Its 290 g/m² khaki fabric, with a touch of elastane, offers both flexibility and structure. The four flap pockets, epaulette tabs and integrated elasticated waistband place it somewhere between a suit jacket and a work jacket, creating a style all of its own. Worn with the Alfred Brown suit trousers or with a more casual pair of trousers, it adapts effortlessly.

THE SAFARI JACKET AS A WHOLE

The fabric

This fabric, made from 99 per cent Loro Piana virgin wool blended with 1 per cent elastane, really comes into its own when worn. Dense at 290 g/m² to withstand the autumn weather, yet supple thanks to the elastane so as not to restrict movement, it retains its shape and silhouette over time. Its deep khaki shade shimmers differently depending on the daylight, with a nuance that’s best appreciated away from screens.

The four patch pockets

Two chest pockets with buttoned flaps at the top, two lower pockets with an outward pleat and a flap at the bottom: the signature feature of the safari jacket, functional and unapologetic. They can be used or simply worn for their own sake, with construction details that add volume to the silhouette without weighing it down. Wear them buttoned up for a cleaner look, or open for a more relaxed feel.

The integrated waistband

The integrated elasticated waistband defines the silhouette without the need for adjustment – no need to search for a belt or make adjustments throughout the day. It’s there, it does its job, and you don’t give it a second thought. Wear the safari jacket off-centre, open or buttoned up; it retains its shape in every configuration.

A few details,

The discreet elastane

1 per cent elastane in a Loro Piana fabric: invisible to the eye, yet crucial when worn. It gives the wool a natural elasticity that allows it to follow your movements without creating creases at the elbows or shoulders. The result: a jacket you forget to adjust because it adjusts itself.

The epaulette tabs

Buttoned, in matching fabric, they anchor the safari jacket firmly in a clear and unapologetic utilitarian tradition – that of English fieldwear which has endured a century without losing its essence. The result: a jacket that asserts its identity without needing to make a statement.

The dark brown urea buttons

Discreet yet noticeable, the dark brown urea buttons tie the garment together in a harmonious palette of warm tones that complements the buttons on the Alfred Brown suit and the tobacco-coloured ankle boots. The result: a cohesive outfit from head to toe, without one being able to quite put their finger on why.
