Editorial Note Saint Laurent's rock-sharp tailoring reaches its most authoritative expression in the 'Smoking' blazer, a Parisian archetype the house has refined across decades. Cut from grain de poudre wool, a tightly woven fabric with a subtle surface texture, it features satin mirror lapels that catch the light with quiet drama. Padded shoulders and a sleek back vent sharpen the silhouette, while a full silk lining and covered two-button closure complete the picture. Pairs well with tailored trousers and leather oxford shoes. Size & Fit Fits true to size. Take your normal size. Refer to Italian sizing: IT50 corresponds to L, IT52 to XL, IT54 to XXL. Regular fit, structured through the chest and shoulder with a clean, elongated torso. Mid-weight wool with a firm hand and smooth drape. Details and Care Material: 100% Wool (grain de poudre); Lining: Silk Closure: Covered two-button closure Colour: Black Made in: Italy Care instructions: Dry clean only Frequently Asked Questions How does the sizing run, or should I size up? The blazer fits true to size in Italian sizing. If you are between sizes or prefer a slightly relaxed shoulder, take one size up. What makes grain de poudre wool different from standard wool suiting fabric? Grain de poudre is a tightly woven twill weave that produces a fine, almost pebbly surface texture. This gives the fabric exceptional resistance to creasing, a crisp drape that holds its shape through extended wear, and a subtle depth of finish that distinguishes it from flat plain-weave wools. How should I care for this blazer? Dry clean only. Between wears, hang on a shaped wooden hanger and allow the fabric to air for several hours to release any compression in the weave.
