Smoking Jacket Caversham Burgundy Velvet

Smoking Jacket Caversham Burgundy Velvet

Our Caversham smoking jacket in burgundy velvet  pays homage to the smoking jacket’s opulent beginnings. Its exquisite frogging fasteners create an incredibly striking appearance. The smoking jacket first appeared in the 19th century as an opulent item of clothing that men wore both before and after dinner to shield their clothes from ash and tobacco smoke. The jacket, which was frequently made of luxurious materials like velvet and silk and embellished with elaborate features like brocade, tassels, and braided ribbons, came to represent sophistication and leisure. Our Caversham smoking jacket honors this traditional menswear item by preserving its original style while incorporating a modern touch.

CUSTOM JACKET SIZE GUIDE By MASTER KILT  

1-Shoulder to shoulder
Put on a well-fitting suit jacket. Keep your arms at your sides. Measure from the shoulder joint until the end, where the other shoulder body ends.

2- Waist
Measure loosely around your “true waist” at your naval while dressed in a shirt.

3-Chest
Lift your arms and wrap the tape measure around your chest at the widest point. Put your arms down. Stand tall and “at ease.” Do not over-inflate your chest. Just stand and breathe normally. Measure loosely around the chest at underarm height while wearing a t-shirt.

4-Sleeve Length
Put on a well-fitting suit jacket. Keep your arms at your sides. Measure from the shoulder seam (the top of the sleeve where it meets the jacket body) to the cuff. If you do not have a suit jacket, measure from the edge of the shoulder down your arm to where you’d like the sleeve to end. Typically, jacket sleeves end 1.5″ to 2″ above the base knuckle of the thumb, breaking at the wrist or slightly lower. Roughly 1/4″ to 1/2″ of the shirt sleeve should show below the cuff of the jacket.

5-back length
Stand straight and ask your partner to measure your body from the backside; it will be from the end of your collar to your waist point. Don’t include lapels in the Prince Charlie jacket; we will include them following coat length.
