Height Range

Body Type

How to find your body type: Wrap a thread around your waist and mark where the ends meet. Repeat around your navel (natural waist, not where your pants sit). Lay the thread against a scale and measure the difference between the two markings to determine your body type.


Chest Girth (in Inches)

We make our clothes to give a sharp tailored fit. Close to body at shoulder, sleeves and chest and slightly relaxed at waist. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, please select a size larger than your usual.

Description

You know when you need to look put-together on a humid day, but every jacket feels too restrictive? This Newman in Dark Slate, made from proper linen, really nails that sweet spot.

- The linen keeps air flowing, so you stay comfortable without that sticky feeling, even when the temperature climbs.
- It drapes so naturally, feeling more like a substantial shirt than a stiff coat.
- The Dark Slate colour just works with everything, easily going from a casual lunch to a slightly dressier evening without a second thought.
- You can move around freely in it, whether you're gesturing while talking or reaching for something overhead.

What this won't do: It’s not a winter coat or a rain jacket — below 15°C you'll want something warmer. And being linen, it will naturally develop a relaxed, creased look throughout the day; that’s part of its character, not a flaw.

It’s just that kind of easy, confident piece you grab when you want to look sharp without feeling like you’re trying too hard.

    The Newman is the kind of jacket that you can only get right if it's tailored properly. I love that it has the silhouette and the restraint of a classical Italian sports coat. Hard to do at the best of times. It has the structure and comfort of a jacket that I can wear on a daily basis in the Indian weather.

    Crafted with taste

    Three-Roll-Two Notch Lapel

    A Neapolitan three-roll-two construction: the lapel is cut for three buttons but pressed to roll softly over the top one, breaking just above the second. The result is a longer, lower lapel line with a quiet diagonal sweep across the chest — more relaxed than a classic two-button, more considered than a casual blazer. Hand-rolled along the edge so the fold stays supple instead of flattening with wear.

    The History of Jackets & Coats

    The unstructured Italian linen jacket traces its roots to the warmer coastal regions of Italy, particularly Naples, where tailors began stripping away the heavy canvassing, padding, and rigid construction found in British tailoring. In a climate defined by heat, humidity, and movement, Neapolitan craftsmen developed jackets that felt almost shirt-like — softer shoulders, lighter linings, minimal structure, and breathable linen cloths that draped naturally on the body. What emerged was not carelessness, but a different philosophy of elegance: one rooted in ease, sprezzatura, and the idea that refinement should never appear forced. Over time, the unstructured linen jacket became synonymous with Italian summer dressing — worn by artists, industrialists, and travelers alike — prized less for formality and more for the quiet confidence of a garment that moved, wrinkled, and aged with its wearer.
