Brioni Light Grey Silk & Wool Hopsack Plume Jacket
50 IT / 40 US / Large
Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Brioni Light Grey Silk and Wool Hopsack Plume Jacket, a quietly clever piece of tailoring for days when you want to look sharp without feeling armoured. The open woven hopsack cloth is naturally breathable and lightly textured, with the silk lending a gentle sheen to the pale grey tone. Cut with notch lapels and relaxed patch pockets, and finished with white mother of pearl buttons, it has that effortless, put together ease that works with everything from tailored trousers to denim. The half lined interior keeps it light on the shoulders, but gives the jacket a little extra composure through the body.
Brioni’s Plume configuration is the house’s lightest, most deconstructed approach to tailoring, designed around comfort, fluidity and movement rather than heavy structure. Plume jackets are characterised by minimal internal build and very light shoulder padding, relying on precise cutting and refined finishing to create shape. Brioni often pairs this construction with unlined or lightly lined interiors to enhance breathability and a second skin feel, and the result is a softer, more natural drape that still reads unmistakably Roman in its cleanliness. In this version, the half lining adds a subtle degree of stability while preserving the Plume idea: the kind of jacket that travels well, wears easily, and looks best when you are not overthinking it.

Sartorial Details
Full Canvas Construction
A sartorial jacket - or coat - needs an interlining that will help give it shape and mold it. Canvas gives the item a tailored and crafted look. In short, it breathes life into it. Purely technical, canvas is made from either horsehair, wool, mohair or camel hair. It could also be a mix of them all, with varying thickness and weight. The canvas is stitched to the jacket, often by hand, thus making the canvas pieces 'floating' in the middle of the inner and outer cloth. This gives the jacket added flexibility. The canvas runs from the upper parts, all the way down to the end of the jacket. After you wear your canvassed suit for a while, it will begin to take your shape and look incredibly natural.
Soft Shoulders
Soft Shoulders, or lightly padded shoulder construction, gives a softer, more casual silhouette to a tailored jacket. Soft shoulders have little padding and follow the contour of the individual’s shoulder to accentuate the wearer’s natural features.
Handmade Buttonhole
Handmade buttonholes are made using a chain of knotted loops called purl stitches that make them strong and visually distinctive. It takes about five seconds to sew a regular buttonhole with a machine – a single handmade buttonhole takes about 10 minutes to sew.
Two-Button Closure
The jacket has a two-button closure which keeps the profile neat.
Chest pocket - Rounded welt pocket
Also known as ‘barchetta’ Italian for ‘little boat’, it is so named because this pocket floats on the chest gently angled upward, just like the bow of a sailboat. These pockets echo the lively roll of a lapel that carries the spring of canvas and natural wool, unlike machine-made chest pockets that have a more stamped-out, rectangular shape and less life.
Darts
The tailors adds two darts - think of them as pinched seams - to ensure the jacket’s body achieves a slim silhouette. The process, called mezzo punto riprese, is done entirely by hand.
Mother of Pearl Buttons
Mother of pearl buttons are iridescent buttons made from an inner layer of certain shells. Especially shells of oysters and mussels that contain nacre, the mineral substance that forms pearls. What makes these buttons so iconic is their inimitable pearly finish.
Patch Pocket
Patch pockets, with their rugged functionality, were unsurprisingly adopted by the military for both shirts and jackets.
