Smoking Jacket - Black Brocade [002088]

Delight in the impeccable style of our black brocade smoking jacket, with rich velvet trim throughout.

While today the smoking jacket is an elegant alternative to a formal tuxedo in the Victorian era this garment served a much more specific purpose in at-home entertainment. Scrupulously dressed 19th century gentlemen (who literally had a coat for every occasion) would don a soft, often velvet, loose jacket over their clothing as a protective barrier from the odors of their smoking indulgences. Plus, it would provide winter warmth when they were banned to the smoking porch by the ladies!

Our more contemporary interpretation of the perennially hip smoking jacket features a rich black brocade body with a velvet-faced shawl collar which wraps around luxuriously to the inner lining. A single velvet-covered button punctuates the front closure, and one on each cuff complete the look. Two inset pockets at the waist are lined in velvet for an opulent touch while four interior breast pockets, including one cigar pocket, offer ample storage for smoking necessities.

Imported, 100% polyester body with an acetate lining. Professionally Dry Clean only. Available in coat sizes 38 - 52, including some longs. We bought out the maker, so get yours before we're sold out!

Sizing Notes
Our coats are made with typical american sizing, meaning your chest measurement (in inches) is the size you should choose.
To measure your chest: Raise your arms slightly and measure just under your arms. Be sure to cross over the shoulder blades and the fullest part of the chest.
Longs: If indicated in the selection list (e.g. 46L,) long sizes may also be available. Longs are approximately 2" longer in the back and sleeves.
