Our Sheffield Riviera Trend Berry and Blue Houndstooth Double-Breasted Blazer uses a wool blend fabric. The weave shows houndstooth, a broken check with pointed shapes.

The fabric is 50% wool, 38% cotton and 12% silk. Wool holds a press well and recovers after a day's wear.

Double-breasted jackets look best closed, so plan to keep yours buttoned. The front wraps across your body, with two columns of buttons and a wide overlap. If you travel, a blazer is the one jacket worth packing, because it dresses up jeans for dinner and looks right over a shirt and tie for meetings.

It's cut to your measurements rather than a stock size.

Skip the tie. Wear it to dinner, to the office on a Friday or on a trip where you want one jacket that does a lot. A white shirt lets the mix of colors carry the outfit. Look for a suit vest in the same Sheffield Riviera Trend Berry and Blue Houndstooth cloth.
