The ‘jaquetância’ is a Portuguese term that evokes the spirit of elegance and sophistication in men’s dressing, characterised by attention to detail and the choice of pieces that exude class. Amongst these garments, we would highlight the overlapping striped jacket, our ‘jaquetão’ which the British call ‘double-breasted’, it is an icon of classic tailoring.

The double-breasted jacket is distinguished by its refined cut, characterised by a crossed zip and two rows of buttons, which give it a structured yet imposing look. This garment has its roots in military clothing, but was quickly adopted by men’s fashion as a symbol of statement and style. Over time, it has adapted to contemporary dress codes, becoming more versatile without losing its traditional charm.

In today’s fashion, the jacket takes on new attributes that make it essential for the modern man: it is a garment that communicates confidence and politeness, whether in a business environment or in a more relaxed context, when combined with twill trousers or even jeans. It also enhances the male silhouette, creating an accentuated shoulder line and a more fitted waist shape, balancing sophistication and practicality.

In short, the jacket is the meeting point between tradition and modernity, adaptable to the various facets of contemporary dressing, always carrying with it an undeniable dose of ‘jaquetância’, a true ally in a connoisseur’s wardrobe.

In fine wools or wool, linen and silk blends, in the whole palette of plains, club stripes or more classic or vibrant plaid patterns, the jaquetão will be a reliable companion this spring-summer.
