Caruso Brown & Burgundy Wool-Flannel Windowpane Jacket

Discover the Caruso Brown & Burgundy Wool Flannel Windowpane Jacket. The cloth has the particular character of a good English flannel: a warm light brown ground with a soft, slightly napped surface that absorbs light rather than reflecting it, the drape natural and unhurried in the way that only a properly weighted flannel can be. The windowpane runs in navy and burgundy across that brown base, the two colours sitting at enough distance from each other tonally to keep the check from muddying, the pattern landing in the territory between a country jacket and something more considered without fully committing to either. It is the kind of cloth that rewards being seen up close. The construction is fully lined, a 2-button closure and notch lapels keep the silhouette conventional and correct, jetted pockets sit cleanly at the hips, and horn buttons in a tone that sits close to the cloth rather than contrasting against it finish the details without drawing attention to themselves. Caruso has built its reputation on cloth selection and clean construction, and a flannel windowpane in this colourway is exactly the kind of piece that reflects both. A jacket for the cooler months that asks very little of the wearer and delivers considerably more than it promises.
