Kincaid No 4 Jacket In Escorial Wool Twill

A particularly special jacket made of Escorial wool, an elevated alternative to cashmere that comes from a super-rare type of sheep originally kept by Spanish royalty. Soft and supple, with springy, coiled fibers that naturally resist wrinkling, it’s sourced from the only direct descendants of the original Escorial flock, which are now bred in small pockets of Australia and New Zealand. Talk about special. And speaking of special, this jacket is our No. 4 make, which is almost fully handmade. This means more time passing through our Neapolitan tailors' hands... in fact, each piece requires a full ten hours’ worth of tailoring before it leaves the workshop. The shoulder, lining, darts, buttonholes, buttons, and several other elements are sewn by hand, and you can feel it when you put it on. It’s almost like the seams move with you. We built the Kincaid model with a soft (read: natural) shoulder, a 2-button front, and a shorter, darted body with some tracing to it, for a fit that's slimmish but never skinny. And while we always go for an American-Italian blend, the cut of this one leans a bit more sartoria than the rest. But just like all of our jackets, it's designed to take you from Mississippi to Milan, and back again, without looking out of place.
