Corneliani Light Grey Cashmere & Silk Micro-Pattern Academy Jacket

Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Corneliani light‑grey cashmere & silk micro‑pattern Academy jacket, a quietly striking piece that blends soft elegance with sartorial flair. The light grey shade leans slightly silver, enriched by a finely woven bi‑colour micro pattern that gives the fabric remarkable depth and dimension. Notch lapels, patch pockets, and a supple structure speak to the jacket’s easy sophistication, while the half‑lining ensures a softly tailored silhouette that’s both breathable and weighty—ideal for transitional seasons. One of the most unique offerings in Corneliani’s collection to date, this jacket stands out without shouting, underscoring refined individuality.
Academy fit—a cornerstone of Corneliani’s latest tailoring line—is designed for modern wearers seeking comfort without compromise. Employing a softer shoulder, fitted armholes, and a gently contoured form, it moves like a second skin while maintaining elegance in structure. Despite its streamlined silhouette, Academy fit retains a classic sensibility: relaxed enough for real-life wear, yet tailored enough for smart settings. In this jacket, the refined micro-patterned cashmere-silk cloth and purposeful cut converge, delivering a piece that’s as tactilely rich as it is visually compelling.

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.
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.
