Corneliani ID Dark Blue Wool & Cashmere Milestone Fall Vespa Jacket

Discover the Corneliani Grey Pure Silk and Suede-Front Vespa Jacket. The Vespa is among the more architecturally considered pieces Corneliani produces, a jacket whose front and body are constructed from entirely different materials and joined by a concealed zip that allows the suede panel to be removed entirely, the two halves of the jacket functioning as a single coherent garment when worn together and as two separate propositions when apart. The outer is pure silk in a pinpoint construction, the tight, fine weave giving the fabric a dry, composed surface that reads as suiting cloth from a distance while carrying the inherent luminosity and lightness of the fibre underneath, the silk holding its structure without the weight that a conventional jacket cloth would bring to the same silhouette. Against this the perforated light grey suede nubuck front reads as a different register entirely, the nubuck carrying a soft, velvety surface texture that the perforations open into a pattern of fine points, the combination of material and treatment producing a front panel with a depth and tactile interest that plain suede or plain cloth would not. Grey silver mother of pearl buttons are set through the front, the iridescent quality of the shell picking up the silk's own quiet sheen and tying the two materials together across the jacket's construction. Flap pockets sit at the hips, the line clean and the proportion suited to the jacket's slim, uncluttered character.

Corneliani has returned to the Vespa jacket across many seasons because the idea at its centre is genuinely original: two materials, two textures, one garment, and the option to separate them. In grey silk and perforated suede nubuck it is as well resolved as the concept has ever been.
