Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Ermenegildo Zegna dark blue wool, silk, and cashmere melange check jacket, a richly textured piece that captures the essence of elevated everyday tailoring. The melange weave, composed of superfine wool blended with silk and cashmere, creates exceptional depth and a soft, almost brushed hand—enhanced by a subtle tonal check that reveals its complexity only on closer inspection. Classic notch lapels and a unique pocket layout—featuring a double patch pocket on the right side—introduce a touch of casual Italian flair, while jetted pockets trimmed with nubuck piping and a matching undercollar add an unexpected layer of tactile luxury.
Crafted in Italy with Ermenegildo Zegna’s customary attention to subtle detail, this jacket balances refinement and versatility. The interior reveals a hidden utility pocket alongside the usual chest compartment, designed for discreet practicality. Horn buttons engraved with “Ermenegildo Zegna” add a final note of quiet distinction, affirming its place within the brand’s sartorial heritage. Lightly structured and half-lined for comfort, this is a jacket designed to evolve with its wearer—softening over time while retaining its tailored precision.

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.
Horn Buttons
Horn buttons are prized for their quality. They are made with the finest genuine horn material, improving the appearance of the suit. And because they are so strong, you don't have to worry about them cracking or breaking.
Patch Pocket
Patch pockets, with their rugged functionality, were unsurprisingly adopted by the military for both shirts and jackets. The lower patch pockets on a Neapolitan jacket are modeled after the tasca a pignata style, and when done in its purest form, are easily recognizable with a rounded-bottom and a unique shape
