Luigi Borrelli Grey Brushed Wool, Cotton & Linen Double-Breasted Pinstripe Jacket

Discover the Luigi Borrelli Grey Brushed Wool, Cotton and Linen Double Breasted Pinstripe Jacket from the Luxury Vintage Archivo 1957 collection. The Archivo 1957 designation refers to the year Luigi Borrelli founded the house in Naples, a collection that draws from that founding moment and the aesthetic that surrounded it, the garments conceived as a return to the construction and cloth sensibility that defined Neapolitan tailoring at a specific point in its history. The cloth is a brushed blend of wool, cotton and linen, the three fibres contributing distinct qualities to the construction: the wool providing the body that the brushed finish raises to a soft, slightly napped surface, the cotton adding structure and a dry hand that tempers the wool's softness, and the linen introducing the open weave quality that keeps the blend breathable despite the brushed finish. The ground is steel grey, the tone deep and composed, and the pinstripe runs through it in a light grey so close to the base colour that the stripe reads as a tonal variation rather than a contrast, the pattern subtle enough that it registers as surface complexity rather than as a deliberate design from any normal distance.

The double breasted configuration is built with peak lapels, the wide lapels rolling to the button line with the ease that a brushed cloth at this weight allows, the overall silhouette carrying the relaxed authority of a double breasted jacket conceived without formality as its primary intention. Jetted pockets sit flush against the front, the openings clean and uninterrupted, the absence of flaps keeping the jacket's surface uncluttered. The jacket is entirely unlined, the brushed wool, cotton and linen sitting directly against whatever is worn beneath it, the open construction allowing the cloth to move and breathe without restriction.

Luigi Borrelli built its reputation in Naples on shirts before extending into tailoring with the same standard. The Archivo 1957 collection applies that standard to the house's own founding moment, and the result is a jacket that knows exactly where it comes from.
