Inspired by an old photograph of Ernest Hemingway, &SONS’ latest release, the Hemingway Suit Jacket in Midnight Blue (£270), stands as a testament to timeless style and rugged elegance. This piece, rooted in the brand’s heritage, marks a bold addition to their new Sartorial Range. The design draws heavily from the travel-style suits favoured by icons like Cary Grant and Gregory Peck, as well as the lightweight safari suits worn by adventurers and journalists during the Second World War.

Crafted from 100% brushed cotton, the midnight blue jacket is a perfect blend of form and function. It’s light enough for summer travels yet robust enough for everyday use, embodying the spirit of early 20th-century explorers. The jacket features internal contrasting piped seams and a versatile collar that can be worn open for a laid-back look or buttoned up for a sharper style. Faded pocket prints and pencil stitch details infuse it with a timeless character as if it’s already lived a thousand stories.

The design of the Hemingway Suit Jacket pays homage to the rugged charm of its inspirations while offering modern versatility. It pairs effortlessly with &SONS’ denim or tan Virgil chinos, making it an ideal choice for those days when you want to keep things relaxed. The ability to tuck in the pocket flaps transforms the jacket from a formal suit to an everyday ‘chore jacket’ look, enhancing its utility and style.

Each element of the Hemingway Suit Jacket is built to last, promising to be a future heirloom. The natural Corozo buttons add a raw, organic touch, ensuring each suit has its own subtle variations and unique charm. This dedication to quality and longevity means the jacket will carry forward the stories of its wearers for generations to come.

The Hemingway Suit can be worn as separates, with both the trousers and jacket integrating seamlessly with other &SONS garments and collections for a more relaxed, everyday look. This versatility ensures that the suit isn’t just a piece of clothing, but a versatile addition to any wardrobe, capable of adapting to any occasion or adventure.

In essence, the &SONS Hemingway Suit Jacket in Midnight Blue is more than just a piece of clothing; it’s a statement of style, resilience, and timeless elegance. Perfect for those who appreciate the finer details and the stories woven into the fabric, this jacket is designed to accompany you on all your journeys, both great and small.
