Ermenegildo Zegna Royal Blue Wool & Trofeo-Cashmere Checkered Jacket

Discover the Ermenegildo Zegna Royal Blue Wool and Trofeo-Cashmere Checkered Jacket. The Trofeo-Cashmere cloth draws from Zegna's own Trofeo base, the long-staple Australian superfine merino that the house's mill selects for its fineness and resilience, with cashmere introduced into the construction to add softness of hand and a warmth of surface that the merino alone does not produce. The check runs through the royal blue ground with the quiet confidence of a pattern conceived as part of the cloth rather than applied to it, the blue carrying a depth and saturation that the cashmere's surface quality amplifies, the colour reading with more richness than a conventional wool at the same tone would allow.

The Zero Weight configuration is Zegna's deliberately unlined, minimally structured construction, the jacket built to drape from the shoulder through the cloth's own behaviour rather than through internal canvas or padding, the absence of lining allowing the Trofeo-Cashmere to move freely and breathe without resistance. What makes this particular jacket interesting is the contradiction the cloth introduces: the Zero Weight construction typically partners with lighter summer fabrics, the unlined approach suited to cloths that need no additional weight. Here the cloth is relatively substantial, the wool and Trofeo-Cashmere blend carrying a body and a hand that a lightweight Zero Weight fabric does not have, the result a jacket that wears with the ease and freedom of an unlined piece while carrying the presence and warmth of a cloth built for cooler conditions. The two qualities sit together without resolving into a simple category, which is precisely what makes the jacket worth wearing. Notch lapels, a two-button closure and flap pockets keep the front clean, horn buttons set throughout.

Zegna applies the Zero Weight construction to a cloth that has no business being unlined, and the result is more interesting than either decision would produce alone.

Zegna was founded in 1910 in Trivero, Italy by a young entrepreneur called Ermenegildo - he was the youngest of Angelo Zegna’s 10 children. Angelo, a watchmaker by trade, had started weaving wool using four looms. From these humble beginnings, an 18-year-old Ermenegildo began using the looms creating quality fabrics that he described as “the most beautiful in the world”.
