Virgil No. 3 Shawl Collar Dinner Jacket Ivory Wool Barathea

The black-tie and shawl-collared version of our classic Virgil jacket, in an ivory barathea from England that gives a very James Bond feel. The broken-twill weave gives barathea its signature pebbled surface, and this mill in particular has been producing fabric since 1772. A classic in every way. The No. 3 jacket make has full canvas construction — the sine qua non of tailoring — with a special, structured 3-layer canvas that'll mold and meld to your body over time. While this version lacks the 3-roll-2 front and notched lapels of our other Virgil jackets, it has the same classically American-by-way-of-Italy spirit with a natural shoulder, a shorter body, and no front darts. Pair with formal trousers for a nice alternative to the traditional tuxedo. Just like all of our tailored clothing, it's designed to take you to black-tie events in Mississippi, Manhattan, and Milan (and beyond) without looking or feeling out of place.
