Burgundy wool and leather jacket with tweed trousers

A cropped jacket in burgundy felted wool with a double-breasted front and two hidden snaps, where the lapels, the shoulder yoke, the lower sleeves and the pointed peplum hem are all cut in matching burgundy leather, so the jacket changes texture at every edge. Underneath, high-waisted trousers in a dusty burgundy tweed with a raised centre seam running down each leg and a straight, slightly cropped line.

The whole thing sits in one colour and three surfaces: wool, leather, tweed. That is the point of it. Autumn and winter, daytime through to dinner, with an ankle boot or a loafer and the jacket worn closed, as it was cut to be. No bag, no belt, hands free for whatever needs picking up.

I have opinions about trousers. These passed.
