Back East Herringbone Blazer

A week in Belgium, half of it spent wandering along canals in Bruges and crossing many of its 80 charming bridges.

Wore this jacket most days.

Simply the perfect travel jacket. An extravagant number of pockets—eight in total; four with zippers—for stashing passport, tickets, phone, postcards.

Easy-wearing, sublime hand feel. Comfortable as all-get-out.

On the plane home, the fashion house exec seated next to me asks if she can touch the fabric.

“Cashmere?” she asks.

No, but she’s not the first to ask the question.

Back East Herringbone Blazer (No. T2869). Exceptionally soft texture and hand feel that rivals cashmere. Old school details include elbow patches and a removable throat latch closure tab. Classic “three-roll-two” button front. Center back vent. Interior loop for eyeglasses. Fully lined in yarn-dyed cotton plaid. Classic fit. Poly/ rayon/wool. Surprisingly, it’s even machine washable. Imported.
