Reserves · The First-class Jacket

The Reserves is the kind of piece that disappears once you put it on, in the best sense. cotton, cotton and wool in dark burgundy, nothing to adjust.

How to wear it

Summer: linen shirt, loafers, no socks. Winter: merino rollneck, boots, heavy coat. The Reserves handles both.

Fabric

cotton was the right call here: matte surface, calm drape, and enough body that it does not cling after a few hours of wear.

Care

Store folded in a dry place. Hanging stretches the waistband over months, especially on cotton.

Fit

It sits at the natural waist and falls straight. No taper, no break at the ankle, which makes it easy to pair with almost any shoe.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

The Reserves is not a statement piece. It is the top you reach for without thinking, which is usually the highest compliment.
