Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Brioni Petrol Blue and Burgundy Silk and Cashmere Houndstooth Brunico Jacket. The title sets an expectation the cloth quietly refuses to meet, and that refusal is the jacket's most interesting quality. Read the colours together and the mind anticipates contrast: petrol blue against burgundy, two deep and saturated tones that should assert themselves against each other. In the cloth they do not. The burgundy sits so close in depth and tone to the petrol blue that the houndstooth pattern absorbs into the ground rather than breaking away from it, the two colours merging at conversational distance into what reads simply as a very dark, richly toned blue-ground cloth. The houndstooth reveals itself only when the jacket is examined closely or caught at a particular angle, the pattern emerging from the ground as a structural detail that was present all along rather than as a pattern advertising its own existence. This is a cloth that knows something that most loud combinations do not: that depth of colour and subtlety of effect are not opposites.
The silk majority in the blend is responsible for the jacket's surface behaviour, a quiet sheen running across the cloth that shifts as the light moves across it, the cashmere contributing softness to the hand and a warmth of touch that pure silk suiting does not carry. The result is a jacket that feels as considered as it looks, the two fibres doing different things and doing them simultaneously. The Brunico is Brioni's contemporary fit, trimmer through the chest and waist than the house's classic configurations while retaining the structured shoulder that identifies the Roman atelier's work at every point in its range. Two-button closure, flap pockets and a full lining keep the construction clean, genuine horn buttons set through the front with the quiet finish the jacket's character requires.
Brioni makes jackets that reward a second look. This one reserves its most interesting quality specifically for those who take one.

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.
Roman Style Shoulders
Characterised by a clean, strong silhouette, the Roman style has its origins in the military and equestrian style on Savile Row. While the heavily structured, military-inspired suits with strong shoulders and stiff canvassing were fitting of English nobles, the staid style was not an adequate reflection of the Italian way of life. As Italian tailoring grew into its own, though, different styles began to develop. In Naples unstructured whimsical Neapolitan suiting took hold. In Rome, where Brioni was born, the style evolved more subtly. The structured British style was made more voluminous, body conscious, and free-flowing without losing too much of the signature Saville Row shape.
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.
Flap Pockets
This was originally supposed to keep debris from getting into jacket pockets when worn in the country. Flap pockets occupy a sort of middle ground in terms of formality: they are the main choice for business suits, but they can also appear on sport coats as a testament to their casual origins.
